The movie was great, although the zombies can run in this film and that kinda goes against what weve come to know of them from various other films, this movie was awsome. The violence was great, lots of brains being shot up, tearings of flesh, chainsaw!!!, a dead fucking zombie baby in the fuckin womb!, mercy kills, fuckin running zombies over.... yeah, for someone like me, this movie was fucking a defenite A+. |

well in this one you see the person turns while pregnent and then it starts moving around in the womb, the dead zombie bitch gives birth its.... its gross, and then the father is holding the baby and there is a little shootout between him and another actual human (if i said why id ruin it) and then they see the baby is a zombie and it snarls and they shoot it in the head. |

pabst! haha.. i hate that beer. the dawn of the dead movie was great, it sets a great standard for other horror movies, for sure it does... it was gory and violent and you felt like they had no hope.. ha.. it was awsome |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally nigel. totally. ---- yeah, i'm not a big pabst fan either. but, one of my buddies and his hippy girlfriend came over a couple of weekends ago, and we bought a shitload of pabst (bottles), and they each have a number & a card suit on the inside of the cap... and now i'm obsessive compulsively drawn to collect a whole deck, so i have to drink pabst. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.... ugh! drink a lot of pabst!.... I had to make fun of pabst the other month, my car was sooo dirty from the winter, so i wrote PABST really big on the back of it... it was funny. it was just an inside joke between a friend and me. it was strange. |

||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this movie truly is awsome, anyone who says that doesnt like horror movies and is a goof. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well... ...people at the theater said it sucked. some friends said it sucked. some naked bitches on some news show on the Playboy channel said it sucked. i'm kind of going on what they all said. but i'll probably watch it next weekend (so i can hear more about it) at a matinee showing. |

baaaaaaaaaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy unborn baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyyyy unborn yyyyyyyyyyyy looking forward to seeing it today. i'm a big fan of the original. i know it won't live up to it, but thats ok, its always nice to see a big budget zombie flick... hopefully this will convince studio's to let george do a 4th dead movie. |

The original is excelent. I'm boycotting all Hollywood re-makes until they make some decent films of their own. |
||||||||
|
|

the original is excellent. but fuck.... this movie was just amazing. i loved it and will see it again sometime. |

It was good, the first twenty minutes were pretty fucking awesome. I was really entertained throughout. A few really stupid scenes, and some rediculous zombie moves. No where near as good as 28 days later. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was much better than 28 days later, the 28 days later movie really seemed boring and lacked a lot to me... this had so much more action and adventure than the other |

Ok I haven't had time for message boards lately which is why I haven't been around much but.. I just KNEW this thread would be here :D My thoughts, prejudices and opinions.. Firstly, this is a GOOD FILM (for once). It can be to it's credit that they did not simply shoot it frame by frame based on the original or even use the set pieces of the original. Sure, you have a mall, a pregnant woman and a black guy saying "When there's no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth." The fact the zombies can RUN (something I'll come back to) exemplifies this approach: make it new and fresh but in keeping with the original in the main. There are a number of references to classic zombie films too (at least, *I* think so..) So, you have a reference to the classic shower scene from Zombie Flesh-Eaters (where zombie crashes through door), and also to the boat floating into New York harbour. Also, there is reference to the 'guy who has injured leg getting wheeled/dragged around by his buddies whilst shooting at the zombies' from the original DotD. This film definately respects the classics: dark humour but not too over-played, like in the post-Evil Dead plethora of 80's films like the Return of the Living Dead series. This means you get the classic downbeat atmosphere so well defined by Romero, and thus places this film directly into the genre (of the good ones). It even has the 'jaded zombie-hunter syndrome'! The fact the zombies can move quickly may be contraversial, but it nevertheless was a brave move and shows the makers had more than just imitation on their minds (as in the remake of NotLD). Also, you get the 'positive role models' a la Romero (this time more the woman than the black man) and yet this is not too heavy-handed and helps place it along side the classics of the genre. |

I have to admit I was seriously impressed by the 'rock video' style credit sequence: the editing, in line with other technical issues was well done, but the music.. well I'll be damned if they didn't go and use a Jonny Cash tune and it worked so fucking perfectly that I just said fucking. Furthermore.. the end credits took this even further and then added something that made the audience who had just got up to leave sit back down again or hang by the stairs in case they missed something! If you are reading this you are probably interested in zombie films.. definately go see it, it's up there with the best of 'em! |

i think i'm the only one here who isn't interested in violence pornography... |

seem to be, rather... |

Na, it's a genre thing, rather like enjoying the Godfather films doesn't mean you are into violent films per se. As it goes, I'm not into violent films in the main, thus to claim this thread is about "violence pornography" is something of a generalization and underestimates the films somewhat. I can see why zombie films aren't everyone's cup of tea though, but even my girlfriend liked this one and said she could watch it again o0 (Yes cos girlfriends are only usually into My Little Pony :P ) |

Actually, allow me to qualify the above with my 3 fave zombie romps: Aside from the violence pornography.. For social commentry/observation see Night of the Living Dead For social satire see Dawn of the Dead For cinematics eg. cinematography see Zombie Flesh-Eaters (And by the way, I was joking about girlyfriends). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

violence in film does not equal violence pornography. dawn of the dead is, in my opinion, selling the sensationalistic thrill of realistically depicted murders, which is made "acceptable" (justifying a larger body count) by making most of the victims murderous zombies. what else is there to the genre? the genre is violence pornography, the subgenre is zombies. sure, there's a little comic relief, etc. but the show is pornographic violence. no serial murder = no show. at least reflex is honest in that he doesn't try to justify his pleasure by praising the camarawork or the acting or the music or the comic relief. to each their own, but i can't help but wonder "why?" when people gush about these movies. |

I can't wait to see this film.. loved the originals as well as 28 days later. Gonna get trashed and then go. ;) |

zombie films are a SWEET genre, this one was great good review there |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i'd be hard pressed to name a thinner and more impotent "social commentary," honestly... anyway, i'm not necessarily saying that every movie with a zombie or two is violence pornography, and again, nor that violence in and of itself constitutes violence pornography. not surprisingly, i'm now off to eat some ice cream. |
||||||||
|
|

|

i hate reviews, just sometimes you read worse and worse ones.. blah anyway... the movie rules go see it |

"at least reflex is honest in that he doesn't try to justify his pleasure by praising the camarawork or the acting or the music or the comic relief" No, it is not dishonest of me to point out to you that there is more to these films than you claim. I just happen to be able to point out that you made a gross generalization :) Also, if you read what I actually said above you will see (for instance): "Aside from the violence pornography.." Thus I in no way deny the violence or am dishonest about it. "i'd be hard pressed to name a thinner and more impotent "social commentary," honestly..." Nor have I claimed that these films are particularly deep. Let me educate you sir that social commentry and satire do not HAVE to be deep to hit the mark. Plus, for a specific example, if it can show a positive role model of a black man to the masses of the 1960's it is hardly so "thin". "dawn of the dead is, in my opinion, selling the sensationalistic thrill of realistically depicted murders, which is made "acceptable" (justifying a larger body count) by making most of the victims murderous zombies" This is a good point, however, as I said, I am not usually into violent films, which surely should follow that rationale. |

i like how they use titties to get you to stay in your seat to watch the end credits...if you remember thats the first image. so what do you think anyone live? PS, at the one point in the movie when the girl goes to save the dog, a guy yelled "FUCK THAT BITCH" in the theater, i laughed my ass off. |

plaidzebra: i think yr a little off the mark saying all horror is totally devoid of artistic merit. horror is a part of life and art reflects that. if you go watch the first dead film (night), youll see theres actually a few metaphorical topics being dealt with: the race issues of the 60's (which is actually a bigger part of the films drama, if you are mindful of it), war (the idea of never being able to escape the dead or to leave with sanity intact) as well as simple psychology like "dominance". its actually quite well woven in horror films. my personal favorite horror stuff is stuff liek 28 days where the gore doesnt overshadow the story. there is a documentary out there where they talk to romero, tobe hooper and savini about their stuff. i forget the title. but anyway, savini tells some weird stories about being in vietnam as a photographer. its more deep than just chainsaw to the nuts... but there are people who only want to see that, so thats what theyre into. sorry, just felt that needed said. |
