Day of the Dead (remake)

“Are you ready to get down with the sickness? Movie logic dictates that you shouldn’t remake a classic, but Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead defies that logic and comes up a winner. You could argue that George A. Romero’s 1978 original was sacred ground for horror buffs, but it was a low-budget classic, and Snyder’s action-packed upgrade benefits from the same manic pacing that energized Romero’s continuing zombie saga. Romero’s indictment of mega-mall commercialism is lost (it’s arguably outmoded anyway), so Snyder and screenwriter James Gunn compensate with the same setting–in this case, a Milwaukee shopping mall under siege by cannibalistic zombies in the wake of a devastating viral outbreak–a well-chosen cast (led by Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Jake Weber, and Mekhi Phifer), some outrageously morbid humor, and a no-frills plot that keeps tension high and blood splattering by the bucketful”

      OH,and the hot nurse Sarah Polley she’s also In the movie Splice.
      And got promoted to Dr. It seems lol.

        Splice was pretty awesome in it’s own right for a completely off the wall ‘mutant’ flick.

          Yea and that dren was hot too,too bad she can change sex TOTAL dealbreaker lol.
          They DID mess her up pretty bad,they should have done a better job of maturing dren,I was upset the Dr. lived but I guess this’ll lead into another movie.

            I’m betting if there IS a sequel it’ll be straight to DVD ;) Seriously though the Drem part was done so well but you’re right.. she SHOULD have been more mature
