Dawn of the Dead
Dir: Zack Snyder
2004
***
I was a little horrified when I first heard they were remaking George A Romero's classic (and best in my opinion) Dawn of the Dead. Firstly, what gives Zack Snyder the audacity to even consider a remake and secondly, how can you improve on what is a fan favorite? The simple answer is you can't. That said, Snyder made it quite clear that this is a loving homage to the genre and Romero's films that is based on the original film but is not really a 100% remake. I take such statements with a pinch of salt but I do believe him somewhat. I thought he did a good job too, he might not be the most original director in the world but he is a faithful fan doing (mostly) good.
