About the Film

Dawn of the Dead is a 2004 American horror film directed by Zack Snyder in his feature debut, a remake of George Romero's 1978 classic. Zack Snyder's remake reimagined Romero's shambling zombies as fast-moving, terrifyingly aggressive infected that could sprint, creating opening sequences of genuinely shocking intensity — the suburban neighborhood collapse in the first five minutes was among the most visceral zombie outbreak depictions ever filmed. The Richard Cheese lounge cover of Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" playing over a montage of rooftop zombie-watching became one of horror cinema's most memorable musical choices.

Dawn of the Dead earned $102 million worldwide on a $26 million budget.
