No images available |  That the horror genre lends itself particularly well to remakes and sequels, is well known. That the filmmakers don't always approach the task with a large amount of creativity and integrity is, sadly, also an accepted phenomenon. Luckily, there are exceptions. Even die-hard fans of the classic of the classics, the texas chainsaw massacre, were recently taken by surprise by a new, uncompromising version. Now there's a remake that's been no less eagerly awaited: George A. Romero's second chapter in his zombie trilogy, dawn of the dead, is all dressed up in a new suit. The synopsis is nicely reliable: the USA is ravaged by an epidemic, and millions of the dead rise out of their graves to fall on the living in a bloodthirsty frenzy. There is complete chaos and civilization breaks down. Nurse Anna (Polley) goes on the run with a policeman (Rhames), and takes shelter with a group of allies in an enormous indoor mall. There, they decide to continue their flight to a safe haven in two armored buses. Because this re-make holds tightly to the set-up of the original, the filmmakers have plenty of opportunity to create an old fashioned journey to hell. Just as with Romero, social critique is sprinkled throughout this apocalyptic vision of the future. In addition, there is a deliberate homage to the original in the form of a few interesting guest roles: from the 1978 version, we recognize Ken Foree, Scott H. Reiniger and effects wizard/bit player Tom Savini. |
