If you think Dawn of the Dead 2004 wasn't worth watching, you have ridiculously high standards for a modern horror flickster. It may not have been cinema par excelence, but it's certainly of a quality that 2/3rds of other horror movies could only fantasize about.
The movie kept a decent paced, provided laughs, grossouts, jugs, maybe even a few scares, and it was generally interesting to look at. It will probably end up being the best horror movie out this year. . .speaking of which:
Anyone know when The Grudge and The Ring 2 are due out? I know the Japanese version of The Grudge decisively splits the audience, and I know it's foolish to put my hope in a horror-suspense sequel, but I really want to check these out. I think I just want some Japanese influence in my horror, and I can't watch the actual Japanese films (no cash money).
