    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Ving Rhames heard of a remake of Dawn of the Dead (1978) was in production, he tracked down producers to be in the film.
    • Goofs
      When the group goes into the parking garage to turn on the generators they never make it. They are instead confronted by zombies who they douse with gasoline from a pump and set on fire. If there was no electricity in the garage then the gasoline pump wouldn't work.
    • Quotes

      Ana: The bleeding's not gonna stop on its own. I need to stich his arm.

      CJ: What are you, a fucking doctor?

      Ana: No, I'm a fucking nurse.

    • Crazy credits
      During the closing credits we see a series of shots filmed by the survivors using a camcorder they find on Steve's boat. There are a couple of scenes of Steve and his girlfriend (still left on the camera), then the survivors finding a small boat with a still-animated zombie head in an icebox, and finally them running out of gas and landing on an island where they are attacked by zombies. There are then a series of brief almost-subliminal flashes of zombies "attacking" the camera.
    • Alternate versions
      The theatrical R-rated cut of the film is 100 minutes long. However, an unrated "Director's Cut" has been released on home video alongside the R-rated theatrical print timed at 110 min and contains more character development and gore. Some releases added digital blood to cover up a naked lady stepping out of a bus.

    Under appreciated, like most of Snyder's work
    I gave Dawn of the Dead a rewatch recently for a few reasons.

    1) 2020 blows and I can't handle anymore bad news or negativity so I watch a bunch of movies to avoid the news.

    2) it's been years since I watched it 3) I'll say it proudly, I'm a Snyder fan. I think he's a brilliant director.

    So I decided to buy this movie because it was cheap on Black Friday. A few things really stood out to me during the rewatch. It starts out with a bang to hook you in, and then gives you some unexpected character development in a unique setting. The cast doesn't really have a "star" but it's a solid and diverse crew. It was also really weird to see Phil Dunphy (TY Burrell) from Modern Family playing a cocky jerk, but he played it well. On top of all that, the zombies in this movie are awesome.

    I also found it cool that James Gunn wrote the screenplay.

    Also, good news for zombie fans, Snyder has another zombie flick coming out in 2021 on Netflix, called Army Of The Dead. Most people believe this is not a sequel to Dawn of the Dead and probably just a stand alone story. Dave Bautista and Omari Hardwick will star in it.

    Thanks for reading.
