Anyone seen it yet?
I love the origional.
I heard the Zombies in this one run which sounds slightly naff - zombies should groan and shuffle IMHO.
But maybe fast zombies will be good - 28 days later was amazing.

You know, I was half thinking about starting a thread about this movie - I just saw it Friday.

My opinion: Most hilarious movie I've ever seen. (That means it was disappointing.) There were scary parts, but it wasn't all that scary - it was more stupid than anything.

Dawn Of The Dead was all those things, so it sounds perfect to me, but I haven't seen the new version yet. I bought Cabin Fever last week, it's............OK.

I watched The Grudge. It's one of those cool Japanese horror movies that use as little special effects as possible, but end up being really scary. I got lost in the story though, as the character ages were inconsistent, but behind the frustration I found the movie really cool and scary. And the sounds really made a difference (It's more like a cracking voice and stuff you can't understand but end up really freaky, not like the crap moans and bs that you hear in Western horror).

Speaking of Western horror, the US version of The Ring was so lame and half-assed. It was more "wierd" than it was scary. Samara can not compare to the Japanese Sadako. The Japanese version is teh win when compared to the US one.

Goriest movie I've seen since Cabin Fever (which is not as good and weirder) I thought DOTD was good. It's got lot's of black humour especialy the sniping bit which is gas. It's not supposed to be taken too seriously. I'd rate it better than starsky and hutch and welcome to the jungle but they're all good films.

Anyone seen trailers for shaun of the dead? It looks funny, it's a total spoof of DOTD.
