Dawn of the Dead

Same here, I have the VHS of it in the plastic still just sitting there.

I haven't seen either one. Is the old one at least a good movie?

I saw it and I loved it. Though, I never saw the original, so I'll have to check that out sometime in the next few days.

So, with an unbiased opinion, considering I've never seen the original, I'd definitely recommend the remake to anyone looking for a particularly grisly zombie movie.

I just saw it today as well.

Im confused, what started people to turn into zombies. Also, the ending really really blew ass. They go on a boat to an island, and find more dead people. BAH. I cant' stand those types of movies. We didnt stand till the very end of the credits so i might have missed something. I DESPISE movies that end with everyone getting killed.

1) They never explained why the zombie epidemic began because they didn't need to. It's not necessary. The focus of the plot wasn't on some grand conspiracy involving the Umbrella Corporation and the T-Virus. The plot was focused on a small group of survivors that had just as little idea of what was going on as the audience did. Knowing "why" these things were happening wasn't available to the survivors, so it wasn't made available to the audience. 2) I loved the ending. In all honesty, how realistic would it be to assume that they would escape alive? How realistic would it be to assume that that island in the middle of Lake Michigan would have managed to remain unaffected by the epidemic? Not very. The fact is, nowhere was safe. At all. That was the entire purpose of that ending.

I can't wait until it is out on video so I can rent it. I will watch the old one eventually too.

I saw it yesterday and I have to say. It was pretty swell. Although there wasn't much dept in the plot it had me thrilled and was better than that garbage resident evil. I say watch it.. The original was that good? I better rent it.
