Dawn of the Dead Ratings & Reviews
Steven Woods
October 17, 2024
A rare remake that not only succeeds in living up to the original but, in some respects, actually outshines it.
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
The new Dawn won't be revered like the old one, but if there's a sequel, I'll shamble instinctively to the theater.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
Basically, it's a very well-photographed and edited B-movie, admirably relying less on bass-chord jump scares than mercilessly ratcheted -- and usually character-based -- dramatic and logistical tension.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Extremely gory horror movie; not for kids.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Snyder's film isn't likely to be considered a classic 20 years down the road like Romero's film is, but it's a winningly extreme episode in the ongoing adventures of Zombie and Harriet.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Nicely amplifies George A. Romero's 1978 zombies-at-the-mall horror classic.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
After some head scratching, it doesn't take too long to have the answer hit you smack dab in the face. The answer, of course, is money, and in Hollywood there is no stronger motivator than the almighty dollar.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Soups up the zombies, takes the gross-factor to eleven, and has a lot of cheeky in-jokes about its predecessor.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's silly, witty and good-natured, not scary so much as icky, and not horrifying or horrible but consistently amusing.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The new version has its share of disturbing moments, but writer James Gunn and director Zack Snyder have stripped away the social satire of the original and put little in its place.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Only gore-thirsting teens will be satisfied.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
... bloody good fun.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It more than surpasses the original.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Has many of the elements that made the first Dawn so darkly entertaining.
Variety
Scott Foundas
Whereas the resonance of Romero's film (and of 28 Days Later) derived from its ability to involve auds emotionally with a few spartan protagonists, here viewers don't spend enough time with any of the characters to feel such a connection.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
The joke isn't fresh, but it holds up well in this crackling remake of George Romero's 1978 sequel to Night of the Living Dead.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The remake adds little to the genre and doesn't bother with character development.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A big chomping horror delight, Dawn of the Dead reworks director George Romero's zombie classic with gobs of blood, buckets of black humor and enough cocky style to induce giggles between shivers.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Scarier, funnier and more entertaining than it has a right to be.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Smarter, tighter and far scarier, start to finish [than the original].
