Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Ving Rhames heard of a remake of Dawn of the Dead (1978) was in production, he tracked down producers to be in the film.
- GoofsWhen the group goes into the parking garage to turn on the generators they never make it. They are instead confronted by zombies who they douse with gasoline from a pump and set on fire. If there was no electricity in the garage then the gasoline pump wouldn't work.
- Crazy creditsDuring the closing credits we see a series of shots filmed by the survivors using a camcorder they find on Steve's boat. There are a couple of scenes of Steve and his girlfriend (still left on the camera), then the survivors finding a small boat with a still-animated zombie head in an icebox, and finally them running out of gas and landing on an island where they are attacked by zombies. There are then a series of brief almost-subliminal flashes of zombies "attacking" the camera.
- Alternate versionsThe print used on MTV and AMC had a truncated ending, which changes the entire outcome of the film as presented in its theatrical version. This print ends with the fade to black and the gunshot at the boat dock just before the end credits start. The rest of the theatrical ending which details the final fate of the mall survivors is removed. The end result is the ending is a "happier" one.

After her family turned into Zombies , the protagonist (Sarah Polley) escapes and she meets a hunk deputy man (Ving Rhames) , a marriage (formed by Mekhi Phifer and his pregnant wife) , a security guard (Michael Kelly) and others . They will find shelter at a mall . They'll have to confront lots of Zombies starving of human meat. When the undead rise, civilization will fall. When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth. 36 billion people have died since the reign of humanity. For the new Dawn, there's a reunion...How do you kill what's already dead?
¨Dawn of the dead¨ is an outstanding horror movie , it is realized in fast-moving and is neither boring , nor tiring , but entertaining and creepy . From start to finish the grisly action-packed is continued . The picture blends horror, suspense , tension , violence and great loads of blood and gore . The motion picture takes part of ¨Dawn of the dead¨ (the screenwriter is George A. Romero) and ¨Resident evil : Apocalypse¨ , too . This version is technically better than the original , because being more spectacular and thrilling . Special effects , FX , are first-rate , they have been realized by means of computer generator and the eerie Zombies transformed into flesh eating are made by means of a top-notch make-up .
The film obtained success at the boxoffice and was a real blockbuster in spite of the crude theme . The film is rated + 18 years for the scary murders and violence and isn't apt for boys , neither squeamish. The yarn will appeal to terror and gore enthusiasts . Rating : Good, above average.
