It looks like Resident Evil to be honest...!!

Unnecessary remake of a classic. Wait, that's THE trend nowadays... And why zombies gotta be as fast as Ben Johnson after 28 Days Later? In Danny Boyle's movie they weren't living dead but people infected with pure rage, so it kinda had a logic behind, but living dead ARE slow. Geez, they're fucking dead! :P Mr. Lucio Fulci, where are you?! Thx God Romero is going to shoot another zombie flick. I only hope it is as good as Day Of The Dead or the original Dawn Of The Dead itself...

i met ken foree (that main black guy from the original dawn of the dead) today, and asked for an autograph.
he laughed at me and said i had to pay for one :(
man, i wouldn't even charge for an autograph, and i'm an asshole.

I agree this movie absolutely sucked. It stole sooooo much from 28 days later it sickened me and made me feel like america couldn't make an original zombie movie ever again. The plot holes were herrrendous, the soundtrack primarily sucked exception being the dick cheese song. But playing the Down with the Sickness song twice in a movie is a complete movie killer as it is. Bleah, I still want my money back. IT ruined the idea of the original completely.

Two remakes and two stinkers:
(TTCM and DOTD)"When Hollywood has no more original ideas the remakes shall invade the googleplexes"
I vow never to see either.

idsgn,
there's no chopper? In the original there was a chopper in the end in which they got away from the city?
haven't seen the movie yet, but I think the effects are quite good from what I've seen.

Hmm, its not out in Ireland yet so I cant really form an opinion. But... it cant really steal from 28 days later can it? I mean, I liked 28 days later but Danny Boyle just ripped off the best bits from Romeros 3 original zombie flicks, added a virus and zombies that could sprint.
You cant really accuse a remake of ripping off a film that is already ripping off the original films can you?
Im confused now.

Saw it last night and I have to agree. Its just a little to much like 28 days later for me.

Yes you can. It's a rip off of a rip off. And it could go on and on... A rip off of a rip off of a rip off... But this has nothing to do with 'stealing' ideas. Who does not 'steal' ideas after all? Even the greatest artists do... The deal is if you're able to put those 'stolen' ideas together with talent, a good rhythm, an adequate sense of the atmosphere (being this a very important thing in horror films)... That's why 28 Days Later works. Besides ripping this or that off, the movie shows talent.

I wanna see it -- i love the original dawn of the dead, so i'm at least glad it's also based in an abandoned mall... anyway -- the zombies in the original weren't sleepwalkers...
its funny to see how many people think its a rip from 28 days and resident evil... :)

I saw this movie this weekend and I thought that it was missing the message of the original. It still freaked me out though...
After my Boyfriend and I watched it we had to walk through the insanely busy Chinook Mall to find shoes and let me tell you, EVERYONE looked and moved like zombies. It was freak-ay.
And when I went to the basement of our apartment to do laundry I was a tad scared too, so I guess I got my moneys worth.

like i said, if you like good gore, this is for you.
and when are people going to get over the whole "fast zombie" thing? let's face it, slow zombies just aren't scary anymore.

It's a simple fact of life nowadays that whatever comes out of the UK that's good has to be redone & copied by the US.
Why can't they embrace us?
Perhaps they think they speak a different language.
Anyhoo I thought the movie was Hollywood brilliance - emphasis on the word Hollywood. They don't need to waste any time explaining things - they know we already saw 28 Days Later!

Addendum...
I know that 28 Days Later is not totally original - it's a zombie movie for christakes!
The funny thing is the timing of this new one.
I think 28 Days freaked me out simply because it was set in London (my home town) and to see it completely f**ked up was a sight to behold.
Funny, cause I was talking to my American friends and they thought it wasn't that scary...
"Have you been to London" I asked, "No" they said", we'll I said, "visit the place and then you will see the brilliance of the film, it wasn't set in Wichita, Kansas where there's f**k all people there".
Whatever.

Guilty as charged Iamferis.
