It's the week of Easter and what better way to honor the concept of coming back from the dead than with Zack Snyder's and James Gunn's remake Dawn of the Dead from 2004. This zombie survival film may not star any big names but it's still better than a lot of zombie movies that came after and arguably managed to resurrect the zombie genre from the dead and bring zombies into the main stream. 

Groups of survivors wake up to find the world in the middle of full-blown zombie apocalypse. In their fight to survive the deadly chaos one group after another seeks refuge in a local mall as a sea of zombies surround them. 

The movie takes George Romero's original screenplay and amps up the action and special effects making this movie highly entertaining. Plus the early genius of both Zack Snyder and James Gunn's writing can be seen in several very poignant moments and action sequences in the film. After almost two decades Dawn of the Dead 2004 remains one of the best zombie genre films ever made. Enjoy!
