Liam Gaughan is a film and TV writer at Collider. He has been writing film reviews and news coverage for ten years. Between relentlessly adding new titles to his watchlist and attending as many screenings as he can, Liam is always watching new movies and television shows.

The Big Picture While rebooting any classic film that has stood the test of time is an unenviable task for prospective filmmakers, horror remakes in particular present a unique challenge. What is or is not considered "scary" changes based on the political and social climate of the era it is released in, so to simply reiterate an antiquated narrative may be counterintuitive.

Release Date March 19, 2004 Director Zack Snyder Cast Sarah Polley , Ving Rhames , Mekhi Phifer , Jake Weber , Ty Burrell , Michael Kelly , Kevin Zegers , Michael Barry Runtime 101 minutes Main Genre Horror How Does 2004’s ‘Dawn of the Dead’ Revamp the Story? Given the legendary status of George Romero’s original films, Snyder faced an uphill battle in convincing audiences that a Dawn of the Dead remake was worthwhile.

Romero’s films certainly featured memorable characters, even if his best villain was saved for the third film Day of the Dead. However, Snyder’s remake improves upon Romero’s thanks to the strong ensemble of character actors.

Synyder himself has deep flaws as a writer, but Dawn of the Dead benefits from a great screenplay by James Gunn. As with his films in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, Gunn adds a good dosage of snappy humor that exemplifies the awkwardness of the characters. This humor isn’t distracting, as the characters use their quippy one-liners to distract themselves from the incomprehensible horror of what they're witnessing.
