My problem with that movie is it doesn't carry any of the focus from the original. There was no sense of isolation, no sense of dread, no character development beyond some hackneyed moments meant to give them some sort of "depth". And also the moments of celebration and attempts at comedy were empty and meaningless, there was no true connection with what was going on.

As a zombie movie it's pretty f#@$ing cool, it needed to be released under a different title though. I understand it was more of a tribute to the original but I think they should have done it differently. As its own movie it's a decent action/zombie popcorn movie but as a tribute to Dawn of the Dead it falls flat on its face. Just my opinion.
