However, I really enjoyed:
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
This movie needed a remake. I don't care what you think. The first one was complete and utter shit, and I doubt that many of you were there for its original release in 1978, so don't even pretend as though it's good just because it's the original. In any case, the remake was awesome! Great music (I know it'll be dated in 20 years, but the music from the first one was absolutely horrid), great characters, great zombie effects, and, as the first one did for its time, it pushed the limit for what we can show in theatres. Zombie baby? Priceless.

Well i saw Dawn of the Dead original when i was 4 (1982) and it freaked me out for quite a while.. years later i saw it again and ever since it just has had the lil' magic for me the remake hasn't catched up yep. Same goes for Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it's remake, mostly the reason i don't like the remakes is the "hollywoodization" as i said. I don't pretend to like anything. The DOTD might have needed a remake which actually is great i agree but for me the original still is better, also Argento's slightly different cut of it works.
By the time i went to grade school, i had seen about all the best horror flicks at the time, lots of Argento, Romero and other old skool horror director's stuff. That's where i originally got my nick (back then in Finnish tho), from watching so much horror and otherwise scary movies.
As for the Ring, Ringu is better at some parts and worse at some parts so it's kinda tide with that one for me. Both are good but have their good and bad parts which could have been made differently. All'n'all movies just as music is more or less all about taste. You like or don't like, that's it and you don't need to care what others say.
