Romero fans have been up in arms about this remake ever since it was announced… [but] while Snyder's film may not approach Romero's… it deserves respect from fans of Romero and horror films in general. |

“‘Dawn of the Dead’ Is Smashing. Grade: A – Director Zack Snyder, making a killer feature debut, revels in the sophistication of modern special effects, and stomps off with the best re-envisioning of a horror classic in memory. ‘Dawn of the Dead’ is filled with tingles of humor. Don’t leave before the final frame – if you’re still breathing.” |

“Scary, smart, audacious and edgy. Inflected with touches of deliciously sick humor. Its sole aim, and one at which it succeeds admirably, is to simultaneously scare and delight. It will make you as afraid to look at the screen as to look away from it.” |
| The Washington Post |

“Gruesome, funny, everything a horror film should be! A mutant cannibal zombie movie with class. Snyder makes a rather stunning directorial debut. Sarah Polley is both heroic and funny. You won’t be able to help feeling that it’s good to be alive.” |

“‘Dawn of the Dead’ is one of the best horror flicks in years. Scary as hell! You won’t sleep for weeks. It will have your heart pounding in overdrive while leaving you totally breathless. A perfect horror flick. (5 out of 5)” |

| “Two thumbs up!” “It’s well acted, it’s well directed, it’s slick, it works. I enjoyed it.” |

| “This effort from first-time Director Zack Snyder is stylish and suspenseful. There are scenes of genuine humor…In the end, ‘Dawn of the Dead' is a surprisingly touching parable of community and the human spirit – a terribly scary parable with a ridiculously high body count.” |
| The Philadelphia Inquirer |
| |
| “‘Dead' remake a thrill ride for zombie buffs. Horror buffs and ‘Dead' aficionados will have a blast yukking along with all the genre in-jokes…The first 10 minutes of ‘Dawn of the Dead' are a dizzying paranoid thrill ride that resolves into some equally cool credits…If you like campy fright movies, this is an unpredictably fun one, right down to the closing credits.” |
