Verified Purchase:Yes
the art on the cover is kind of terrible. it could have been MUCH better. the movie itself is a solid zombie movie. the extras are average (at best). the audio and visual quality are solid... no complaints there. it's a good buy since it's hard to find this movie streaming on-line for free.

If you're a fan of the undead, here's a definite better rendition of G.A.Romero's Dawn of the Living Dead. I love it (sarcastic I actually hate it) when all of a sudden in all of Romero's zombie movie, every character become deaf, blind and stupid--completely sensory deprived emotional 3 year olds. Slow stumbling zombies, all of a sudden jump on top of you out of nowhere off the camera frame. You're thinking, are you serious? You didn't hear or see or smell or sense that zombie 2 feet behind a car or a door. And all of a sudden you can't run away from a slowly walking zombie or shoot a gun and run at the same time or close a car window or wear gloves or long sleeve leather jackets to prevent getting bitten. Logic of human reactions in Romero's movies are so frustrating that it's almost awful to watch. However, his insight into human nature in a catastrophe is an awesome. Humans will rather fight and kill each other rather than work together even in end of humanity. "28 days later" changed the genre forever; "Crazies" and "Resident Evil"s are also good but they all have one critical flaw. They do not have the undead zombies. These movies try to explain too much and put too much rationality with viruses and disease and infections. This is why they will be always inferior to Romero's "the Deads". Zombies are zombies, no explanation required. "Dawn of the Dead" breathes new life and more rational human reaction to dire situations. It's less frustrating to watch, but it mixes too much of Romero's slow stumbling zombies with 28 days' "rabid all out sprint" zombies. It's a high budget film so the effects are top notch, the director is young and has excellent potential (i.e. "300"). It ranks on top with "Zombieland" and the original "Night of the Living Dead". A zombie fan must have.
What's great about it: Special effects. Classic movie hit.
What's not so great: Plot. Character flaws.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this movie as I enjoyed it, and as you can see in my reviews, I buy a lot of movies. This was no where close too being as disturbing and moving as the original. That is not too say this movie is not good, it is a decent movie and has a good amount of gore. It just wasnt Romero good, but hey what really is?

In short, I'm a huge zombie fan, and that's what attracted me to this movie. I really dig the zombie movies where they run or move quickly versus the slow moving, foot draggin zombies in other movies. As for comparison with the older version, I've never seen it. My advice, buy both. I know this movie is good, and enough people recommend the other to give it a shot as well.
