The only thing that is similar between the 1978 version and the 2004 version is that it takes place in a mall and there are zombies. Don't get me wrong the 2004 movie is good just not in my top 5 zombie movies.
Dawn of the Dead features slow moving zombies and tracks the progress of some of the living survivors taking refuge in a mall. It was made as a commentary to our consumer lifestyle. Not only is it a good zombie movie, it has been named as one of the best horror movies ever made.
This is the movie that got me interested in zombie genera. It is the best zombie movie ever made. A close second is Night of the Living Dead (the original).
i may not be a manly man, BUT, Night of the Living Dead is one of my all time favorite movies! Dawn of the Dead is totally amazing too! i would have never guessed you were so cool zac. ~ mrs. ashley c. booker
