Dawn of the Dead (romero) has always been one of my favorite horror movies. It's right there with the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre for me, so going in to this movie I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't wanna set my expectations too high and the be hugely let down.
I'm happy to say I wasn't. This movie was every bit as intense and as brutal as it should have been. The acting is great, the gore is almost stomach turning (even for a very avid horror fan), the only thing I had any beef with was the rapid moving zombies. They should have been slower, they're dead right? Romero's zombies were always slow and stiff in their movement. Oh, well. The quicker zombies did add a few startling moments.
All in all, great movie. Highly recommended! Two thumbs up.
