Dawn of the Dead Remake - The Official Thread - Now with Unrated footage !!!

[Despair]

The day has come. The dead will walk the earth again today, as remake of Dawn of the Dead opens in the theaters nationwide.

I will be seeing it tomorrow, with a friend of mine(hopefully, if the bastard actually shows up), and while I still hate the idea of infected super fast zombies, clips of the remake I've seen so far make it seem to be at least decent action/horror flick. Sure its not going to be up to the level of the original which still is one of the best zombie films ever made, and unfortunately has too much of 28 Days later influence all over it, but I still looking forward enjoying some zombie carnage.

Here is Ebert's review, who gives it 3 stars, and doesnt bitch more than usual about film's flaws. He must have liked fast, smarter zombies more than slow, lumbering, dumb zombies of old (something he did bitched about in his RE review).

"So Todat the Dead Will Walk Again"

OMG! Todat, the evil lord of all zombies, has risen again! Run! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!


Sorry. I'm very much looking forward to this, and will be seeing the 8PM showing tonight. I missed the 10-minute preview on TV earlier this week on purpose, I want everything to be fresh. Can't wait.

I'm gonna see it in about an hour. At the 12:10 show in Bowie.

I'll let you know what I think when I get back.

Dolemite ! The minute after creating the thread, I saw that I mispelled it, and I cant go back and fixed it ! So todat it IS

[Dolemite]

It's annoying that you can't fix thread subtitles. Someone should post a thread about it in the feedback forum.

I'm catching it tonight with some of my friends, I'm really looking forward to it and hope it doesn't (Enter complain about original mode) dissapoint me like the original (exit). I've heard the make up effects in this are really good, I'm really looking forward to it.

Well, Maybe gore fx are good, but definately not regular zombie make up. Most of those from what I heard are regular looking people with just white contacts. I hope its not that bad

I hope there are 6-foot tall walking bananas roaming around.

The regular zombie effects in the first Dawn weren't that great really, just blue people, but the gore was still really good. Day of the Dead had really, really good zombie effects though, like the jawless zombie at the beginning.

Man, I hate zombies. I mean I hate them. *shudder*
