 | | So it is with a heavy sigh of relief and a great deal of surprise that yet another re-make, the zombie-fest Dawn of the Dead, based on George A. Romero's 1979 masterful, clever, and socially satirical cult classic, is actually impressive. |
 | | With little time to ponder that question, she winds up in a shopping mall (funnily called Crossroads) with a group of survivors that includes the tough-as-nails policeman Ving Rhames, the flawed "normal guy" (a great, understated Jake Weber), and a young man (Mekhi Phifer) with a pregnant wife (Inna Korobkina). |
 | | "Surviving The Dawn" is the DVD's making-of documentary, covering the movie's origins, the "mall" that the art department built (in the shell of an actual mall that was slated for demolition), the long hours of filming, and the director's take on the '79 original. |
