Dawn of the Dead

This could qualify as one of my favorite zombie movies of all time. It's only rivals being Return of the Living Dead or Night of the Living Dead. I think it gives a good perspective of what the world would be like if zombies did indeed overrun the earth. The plot is a small group of people take shelter in an abandoned mall to survive the zombie holocaust. All of the characters except Peter got on my nerves, but the more I thought about it, I bet the reason they acted the way they did was because of the stress of living in this new world has caused them. I bet I would flip out if I were in their shoes too. I give this one a 5 out of 5.

Characters

• Peter: The kind of person you really want to be like in a zombie movie. He keeps his head straight, and doesn't freak out about attacking zombies.
• Steve: AKA "Fly Boy" because he can fly the helicopter. He's not what you would call a zombie ass-kicking machine. Dies and comes back as a zombie.
• Francine: Kind of a bland character. She's pregnet with Steven's child.
• Roger: Cop. Friend of Steven and Francine. Looses his head, and goes crazy, causeing himself to get biten and eventually dies from infection. Comes back as a zombie.
• Biker Gang: Invades the mall our heros call home. Some of them get chomped or get shot.

The Totals

• Body Count: 24 (on camera)
• Weapons Used: Guns, a hammer, a screwdriver, a flare, a truck, a tire iron, a sledgehammer, bottles, pies, a machette, and a sword.
• Random Breast Shot: 0
• Moments where characters are mysteriously unable to run from certain death: 2
• Ominous thunderstorms: 0
• Explosions: 2
• Scenes with Zombies on escalators: 5

Random Thoughts and Things Learned

• Weapon training is not taught in all police forces.
• Is this a rednecks killing zombies music video?
• Is it really necessary to point out the zombie? I mean it's standing alond in an open feild.
• Steven is neither very cordinated, or a very good shot.
• That zombie looks like Andy Dick with a shaved head.
• Zombies are repulsed by road flares.
• Blood is actually pink.
• Shoting a gate will make it open.
• When being attacked by zombies, never stop to check your blood presure.
• I think this music is a little overly triumphant.
