...there still hasn't been a newer zombie film that surpasses this in quality.

I agree

The battery easily surpasses this. Also, the first REC movie if you can consider the original a zombie film. Fido, even though its mostly a comedy... But really, dotd 04 is still a horrible movie, even worse now with age. Just because there haven't been many better films (most are low budget tripe) doesn't make this any better of a movie.

7.4/10 after twelve years? I'd say "Dawn of the Dead (2004)" is holding up just fine.

Ratings don't mean anything. Watch the movie tonite objectively then come here and tell me how good it is

[–] mountaindewslave 8 years ago

watching it right now and it's great. REC is good but not anywhere near this in overall quality

If i go crazy will you still call me Superman?

I watch a million Zombie Films and this is the far superior to Fido and REC... I almost feel like that's a joke. Especially because if I were to go the alternative route, Shawn of the Dead AND Zombieland are better than Fido. I'd even say Cockney's Vs Zombies is better. I do like REC alot but it literally took its roots from this, 28 Days Later and the Found Footage Genre. It's a mash up of them all.

Still the king of the hill .

REC and Quarantine are both scary while this truly is action all day.

This film is a masterpiece, I'd eat my own leg to see a sequel or show made with the same quality

👊🐸

Check out the day of the dead remake. If you like this you'd like that. It's equally as bad

[–] Tastyfrog 7 years ago

Nah, they're not even on the same level you pleb.

I would agree with the other posters that REC probably edges this out, entertaining though it was. At least we have three zombie tv series, which seemed unthinkable back when Dawn 04 came out.
