And movie geeks like me wouldn't be revolted by the seemingly endless supply of remakes in the pipeline because of lack of originality. It's a win- win situation.
No more remakes of good movies. I agree with the post above...remake bad movies.

Utter garbage ? i whole-heartedly disagree with that.
I'm a guge fan of the origional, have been for mant mant years.
I though the remake was a great film. Great characters, realistic scenarios...
Both were survival films .. both had the same 'adventure' elements.
This movie was made by someone who loved the origional movie .. not just by someone who was given a horror remake as part of a contract.
You can tell the film was made by a fan of the genre.
The only thing i didnt like was the old lady in the wheelbarrow ... i thought hat was an extremely poor creative decision.
But the rest of the movie was great.
It covered the most important thing that many horror movies take for granted .. the thing that made the origional Dawn a hit as well : characters you care for.
I thought the characters in the remake were well drawn out.
One or 2 cliches but even a coupl eof those acted in unexpected ways ...
It wasnt a remake per say .. it was another zombie movie in a mall with a different direction.
