Dawn of the Dead (2004) is a movie i quite enjoyed as i love my zombie movies. Dawn of the Dead was originally made in 1798 but was remade in 2004. The story was created by George A. Romeo, producer of 'Night of the Living Dead' and the 'Living Dead' movie series (Dawn of the Dead is the second of the Dead series). The story of the movie is that there has been a zombie outbreak which has swept the world and a small group of people have taken refuge in super market (mall) waiting for someone to rescue them. Zombie movies tend to have more of a chilling feel then other horror movies because they seem more believable and there more likely to happen. Dawn of the Dead has some of the most horrible scenes that i have seen in any zombie movie. The first is near the beginning of the movie where the lead character, Ana (Sarah Polley) is attacked by her daughter who has been infected. The idea of your own child trying to kill you by ripping you open brings shivers down my spine. The second is another survivor, Andre (Mekhi Phifer) who is so desperate for a child that even when his pregnant girlfriend gets infected and gives birth to a zombie baby he still trys to keep them safe. I think the movie keeps an eerie feel all the way through from the beginning till the end.

The movie had some sequels made for it but none where as good as Dawn of the Dead, the worst of the bunch was probably Land of the dead where they tried to give zombies brains but was just really bad. This movie has inspired quite of few people to make zombie movies most famously Shawn of the Dead which is sort of a comedy intake of the movie. Anyone who is in to zombie movies will love this one and is a must see.
