Ok, watched both of these the other night ...
"Dawn of the Dead" was a bit comic while trying to be scary IMO (very predictable), Shaun of the Dead was genuinely funny and not a bad scary flic in spit of that.
What was your favourite?
I think "Night of the Living Dead" was scarier that DotD because it was grittier. Horror films are better low budget (ala Blair Witch).
"28 Days Later" was scarier because it looked more realistic and was gritty instead of glossy.
I only saw "Night" that that is a true classic, like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Yeah, that makes you jump ! That was probably the first rewal scary movie I watched.
BTW: The music for DothD is fantastic - the title track "The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash is a brilliant track.
"Shaun of the Dead" is brilliant - you *need* to see the TV series "Spaced" if you haven't already.
I liked Peter jackson's old flick "Dead Alive" which was hysterical and relied on characters and a whole ton of gore.
I enjoyed the Dawn remake - it relied on characters to tell a story as opposed to just a "boo" effect. It was VERY glossy, though ,you are right about that.
I have George Romero's autograph...
