(Comes back wiping Vomit from chin)

OK Dawn of the Dead is just behind Evil Dead II and Nightmare on Elm Street as my favorite horror film of all time. Even Moreso then TCM I think this one never should have been remade. I mean its perfect just how it is. The isolation, the fear the brutality the satire, the living becoming near zombies themselves. All just pitch perfect.

I like Ving Rhames.

This looks like shit.

Can't judge a movie by it's trailer. I'm gonna watch it first, and then probably bitch later :D
The Zombies appear to be fast moving though, a la 28 Days Later.
Could make them more menacing ...

I'm sorry 28 Days Later Made sense, since they were zombified by a disease and thus hadn't been "dead long" these ****ers have been buried for years they're not going to be able to win a medal in the hundred yard dash.

Damn... finally I hear someone else who agreed that 28 Days Later zombies made sense!!!

Yeah, I don't agree with fast moving zombies for this. We'll see... maybe they're hopped up on speed or something equally crappy.

Dunno, I like the idea of fast moving zombies and I'm sure there's an explanation and reason why they move like this, if ever.

Maybe it's blasphemy, But this looks pretty damn cool to me.
Whatever happens, it won't wipe out the greatness of the original.

Looks very weak, given that we've had a lot of cool horror recently (28 Days Later, Cabin Fever, and TCM, for example). I'll most likely be skipping this.

Good to see Ving going back to his roots though.....he started out in People Under the Stairs

I hate that the zombies move so fast. That was one of the cool things in the original. If you had a few zombies out in the middle of the mall, you were pretty safe to **** with them because they were like big slow idiots. That added a level of humor to the movie. They were slow and dumb, but if you were cornered by 15 or more, you were ****ed. Now it seems every zombie will be a real threat. While that may lead to a more "thrilling" zombie, it takes away a lot of potential for bringing about a level of fun with them.

Bah. They REALLY need to stop remaking classic horror films. NOW.

Trailer makes it look exactly like everyone's said here. Some bizarre mutation which has taken the situations and premises of the original D.O.D and 28 Days Later and fused them together into some typical cheap and glossy Hollywood fare.

The highest accolade I see it achieving is competing with Resident Evil over which is better... not that it means much in the grander scale of horror movies.

Yeah, I'll probably be seeing it for the same reason that I saw the TCM remake... Just to see what they did with it.

When we saw Big Fish this morning the preview for Dawn of the Dead played. (That wasn't good because I had taken the kids to see Big Fish and we weren't expecting a scary preview! I made them cover their eyes...they get scared easily.)

So anyway I thought this looked SCARY. I loved 28 Days Later and this instantly reminded me of it. Mind you, I haven't seen the original...so I'm a newbie to the movie itself. I think I'd go see this one just for fun.
