Yeah, I loved the Dawn of the Dead remake, must have watched it 15 times. So many horrors lack suspense these days., plus the characters were fairly non-stereotypical., plus the humour was cool (shooting zombie jay letterman, rosie oDonnal etc).
i can't understand why reviewers thought so little of it.
PS: PJ Harvey is great, they should run off a few clones...
