Dawn of the Dead

[Cask]

Trailer at the official site. Nice flashy new zombie movie (albeit a remake) might be pretty good considering resident evil was a bit of a let down.

What do we think? Should be in cinemas before the end of the month.

 

[ECA]

Going to be complete pap.

I have the x of the dead boxset so I shall compare when its out.

 

[L_Plates]

Looks ok but compared to the originals it looks like the zombie's have been beefed up a bit.

Still ill go see it

 

[Sissyfoo]

Reckon I might have to see it. I'm not really a <thingy> of the dead fanatic so it will be good for a laugh.

 

[Ala]

I reckon it'll be badly done but.... so was the most recent remake of TCM and it was kewl anyway. I love horrors and this film is a classic. Ofc it wont be as good as the original but with new effects it'll be worth a gander.
It's better than watching some tripe like "I'm in love with some guy and he doesn't know it 'cos I don't have blonde hair and silicon tits but I will get a make over then he'll marry me in the end awww" ...<cough> type of crappy film....do de doo..

 

[Tom]

Groovy.

Sorry wrong film I know, but still, it applies.

 

[ManDevil]

Don't think I'll bother with this one, I'll wait till next month and see 'shaun of the dead' looks much better

 

[Deacan]

Ah, back when i was a little one, me and my best friend used to watch Dawn of the dead all the time.

Wish they made movies with that much gore in todays era.

Top movie, it was more resident evil than the resident evil movie imo!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Why oh why oh why can't hollywood leave CLASSICS alone?

It's going to kill all the charm of the original and turn it into another teeny jumpy movie with zombies.

WELL DONE RETARDS.

 

[SawTooTH]

Best zombie film Ive seen and improves on the original(s) on all fronts.

 

[leggy]

Was pretty good imo. Very very brutal and the zombies are good. None of this slow laboured death walk nonsense. They really do look like a threat this time around.

Although the original was good, you always got the impression a blind paraplegic could crawl away from them.

 

[Taen]

Great .. Im looking foward to it .. going to see it tonight

 

[SawTooTH]

I agree and you also get the futility of their situation, surrounded by a sea of zombies too. Much more than in the original. I dont mean to detract from the original but this is a good reworking and surpasses the original.

 

[SawTooTH]

Saw the trailer for Shawn oif the Dead...Im def going to see that too..

 

[SAS]

The original is a pure classic, with so many hidden story lines it makes you think. The new film is good, but does not raise any questions, although I'd be surprised if anyone hates it. Worth the money to see and one to get on DVD.

Shame the zombies could run, I mean at the start maybe when they are fresh, but not weeks later

Well I guess a lot more zombies were zombified over the weeks. I dont pretend to understand the biology but given they were back from the dead you could theorise that normal decay processes perhaps wouldnt occur. Who cares really, its more fun if they can run fast after you.

 

[Stimpy]

The original is one of my favourite horror films so I'm interested to see what this new version is like, they just showed the first 9 minutes of it on Channel 4 and it certainly made me want to check it out.

 

[ECA]

I watched it last night and it was actually pretty good.

 

[Tom]

Mark Kermode was comparing DotD and Passion Christ to eachother on the radio. His conclusion was that people go to watch for the same reasons, only those who see DotD are more honest about it.

Enlighten us to those reasons please.

 

[Trem]

I would imagine it will be something along the lines of shock and gore in both, only peeps who go to see Dawn Of The Dead would say thats why they are going to watch. People who go see the jebus movie would not really admit that, I mean I wanna see it for several reasons, one of them for the gruesome bits.

I also want to see DoTD mainly for the bit with the zombie on the crucifix.

 

[leggy]

Well that's just nonsense then imo. I'd be surprised if many people were actually going to Passion just for the gore. Another pointless and rash comment then it seems.

 

[SawTooTH]

Hey Mels apparently done a great job, you can now watch a guy get tortured whilst munching on pop corn and slurping 7 up....great.

The difference as I see it is that in a zombie flick theres a real justification for blowing their heads off.

 

[Damini]

I'm really looking forward to seeing this. Hopefully it will purge the god forsaken AWFULNESS of House of the Dead from my memory. I didn't think it was possible to screw up zombie films that badly, even dire ones tend to have a kitsch charm, but house of the dead was so unreedemably shite that it made wonder how on earth anyone, at any stage of making it, could have thought it worked, or could have agreed to have their name associated with it.

 

[jaba]

I saw DOTD the other week and loved every minute of it, sick, scary, gruesome and funny all at the same time, genius! Sad thing is now whenever I am anywhere I keep thinking, how would I escape from here if a dirty zombie walked in right now

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It has no charm like the original. It all feels so horribly disassociated with anything, far too glossy and well, modern.

Thats pretty much accurate. Most people who go and see it are reckoned to be attracted by the descriptions of violence and pain depicted in the film.

What he said was that the above statement applies equally to both films, only those who go to see PotC are claiming some kind of 'spiritual enlightenment' as a reason. That, and the fact that its a controversial film, directed by a hollywood superstar.

What does Pirates of the Caribbean have to do with anything?



Plus, you are talking complete bollocks in any case.

 

[Stimpy]

I went to see this last night and enjoyed it, still think the original is better but I'll probably still buy this when it's released on dvd, btw to anyone who hasn't seen it yet and plans to don't leave when the credits roll there is still a bit more to see.

how exactly are zombies meant to be charming? you want to be wined and dined by one?
