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.
totally agree i think the Dawn remake was really good and done by someone who cared about making a good horror movie unlike others who just say ''ok it's a horror movie just kill some people and show some tits'' you can tell he wanted to,tried to and did make a great film.
