you know, it actually is something I look for and appreciate in my horror, scifi and fantasy - because these genres are so obviously unreal, it easier for them to address big social, theological and philosophical questions.
As such, Dawn of the Dead resonates long after viewing it. Sure Evil Dead lingers in the mind as fun, campy escapism, but the message of Dawn of the Dead is clear without being didactic...and that's great filmmaking.
