What Parents Need to Know
About Dawn of the Dead
Parents need to know that this movie is extremely violent, gory, and scary. Most of the characters die terrible and explicit deaths. The squeamish will be particularly disturbed by a scene of childbirth and the resulting mayhem. Characters amuse themselves by shooting zombies milling in the parking lot around the mall. There are two explicit sexual situations, including a tender one between a married couple.

really good.
I always heard bad reviews about this film but I love the original and zombie films in general so I gave it a shot.I loved it.It shouldn't really be considered a remake because the only things it has in common with the other one is a mall and zombies.

Ok, but not better than the original.
I think that the original was much better because of the more time spent in the mall. The original has a little bit more than just horror blood and guts. Also, the original has less main characters and centers on them. This causes less confusion and helps the viewers know more about the characters. Even though this movie was pretty good, you should watch the original. You'll probably know what I'm talking about.

This movie has alot of suspence and scary parts.
This movie is nothing for kids at all. It is rated R for many bad reasons.One is for sexuality and grusume Photos and scenes.One scary part is at the begining when the girls mouth was bit by a zombie! then the girl bit her father and her father died and became a zombie.Then the father tried to kill his wife.All of the survivors went to The mall to get away from the zombies. They thougt it was safe at the mall but it was not.Overtime more and more zombies came and tried to atack the survivors.

bloody satisfaction
This film has the most grusome gun violence in anything i've seen (except when Marvin is shot in Pulp Fiction). The amount of brain matter and blood is staggering. The scenes where they name celebrities and shoot the zombie is funny though. honestly, i thought they all deserved to die by the end with how ridiculous it got.
