movie review - Dawn of the Dead

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2004.10.30

This is a solid job at a horror/zombie movie. The zombies are the fast-running, rapidly decaying variety, the survivors are the self-centred, falling-apart variety, and the setting looks suspiciously like Canada standing in for the American mid-west. It's nasty, messy, and fun. Oh, and for once the DVD extras are of the entertaining variety.

Recommended.
