I'm a huge zombie fan. I follow the zombie genre of any medium, be it games, movies, or comics. The zombie scene seems to have exploded as of recent, and it is getting flooded with a lot of crap. Really bad stuff. So I'm here to try and steer anybody interested in the right direction. My recommendation for this Friday: Dawn of the Dead
.
Now I recommend the remake over the original for a few reasons. I think that it is much more interesting for someone who hasn't seen too many zombie films. The original is a classic, but was plagued by a very low budget. The remake takes a few liberties afforded to it by being set in modern days, and makes it work really well. A zombie epidemic is set loose upon the world, and a few survivors are trying to hold up in an abandoned mall. The movie has great character dynamics, as well as a few noticeable actors such as Ving Rhames and Mekhi Phifer.
The special effects are very nice, something that seems like a must these days. But the effects aren't there to cover up a bad movie, only to expand on it. My only gripe with this movie is the fast zombies. I'm an old school zombie guy myself, but they make fast zombies work nonetheless. If you guys want to go to the movies this weekend, go see The Hangover Part II. If you want to stay in and watch a film, check out Dawn of the Dead. Have a good Memorial Day weekend!
