Critics Consensus: A kinetic, violent and surprisingly worthy remake of George Romero's horror classic that pays homage to the original while working on its own terms.

Sean Axmaker

... the screenplay by James Gunn has its own survivalist drive, and first time feature director Zack Snyder delivers something what Romero didn’t: he turns it into a high octane zombie action film.

Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying

Kristy Strouse

Dawn of the Dead provides new digs for the Romero classic, with heightened energy and wonderfully gory thrills.

This version proved to be that rare bird: a remake that, while not matching its predecessor in any way, nevertheless succeeds on its own terms.

Their spin on “Dawn of the Dead” lacks the sly humor and satirical bite that was a pivotal part of Romero’s movie. But it’s far from humorless and the big action, creepy setting, and snappy pacing keeps things engaging.

No matter how much the genre has been beaten to death in the years since its release, Snyder's remake is enduringly scary, thrilling, and incurably watchable time after time. It remains his best film.
