Dawn of the Dead is the highest quality slasher film I've ever seen. Go and see it but only if you don't mind gore and graphic violence. ;o) There are a couple of scenes which made me go "Whoooaaa" not because I was grossed out but because I was surprised that they actually showed it.
Fantastic characters as well. Stereotypes, yes but so well done you did care about them, even Steve, the arrogant townie twat. He had some of the best lines as well.
Mentioning lines, there's just the right amount of humour in it that makes the oppressive atmosphere bearable, creating a good balance between really tense moments and comic relief.
Very pleased with the ending as well. And stay on while the credits roll.

Opressive atmosphere? Call me insensitive, but I was in fits of laughter, as was most of the cinema, when I saw it two days ago :)

Great film though

Exactly.
I should have worded it slightly differently... ;o)

It is a good movie, scarey and funny all at once. Those sorts of things kinda makes you wonder what you would do in that kind of situation. Hord youselfself up with defences and chocolate for engery. hmmmm chocolate.

Pretty much my thoughts, except the likeness to Bruce Campbell. Steve was a great character but he deserved to die in a far more horrible fashion than he actually did. ;o)

My favourite bit from the cast list in the credits:
Squished Zombie - Name
Thrashing Zombie - Name

Oh, did you spot Joe Savini as the sheriff on TV.
"You've got to shoot them in the head and then they stay down."
"Hey, we've got a twitcher over here!" Bang!
