I'm old enough to remember when Dawn of the Dead came out. Back in the day that was some scary ass ****. It looks like another winner is on the way: http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/28dayslater/ There's an option to watch the first 6 minutes of the film here but I can't get it to work for whatever reason. If any of you have any luck tell me what I'm doing wrong.
George Romero (who made the trilogy Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead) talked quite a bit about making a fourth movie in the series. The plot would have centered around "zombie recovery" and a return to normal life with the zombies beaten back but existing as a perminant threat of everyday life. I always thought that would have been a really bizarre movie.
