From Nick at Nite:

Dawn of the Dead - Unrated, uncut, undead . . . this weekend I rented the penultimate in zombie flicks, last year's remake of George Romero's mall, zombiefest. Basically, something really bad happens, virus, infection, comet passing too close to earth, or whatever take on the usual fair, and the really bad things turns people into zombies. Sarah Polley and Ving Rhames head the cast of misfits that end up stuck in a large, suburban, shopping mall. I learned some things about zombies in this move. For example, whatever you do, don't let your pregnant wife get bitten by a zombie, zombies like to congregate at the mall, and zombies don't eat dogs. I won't give away the end, but let me just say . . . things don't end well for civilization. This was a generally creepy movie, with a very high gore factor. It is unrated, apparently so they can show more gore than they did in the theater originally. The movie has a few hundred zombie killings, some human killings, one zombie birth, some brain eating, one possessed killing child, three car chases, ten car crashes, one boat ride, three propane tank explosions, and partial nudity completely unrelated to the plot. I give it a "B+."
