Dawn of the Dead (2004)

While Snyder’s action-packed re-imagining of the Romero classic doesn’t hold a candle to the original, it still manages to be an enormously entertaining zombie flick. Instead of creating a carbon copy of the first Dawn, screenwriter James Gunn (Slither) takes the basic premise—a group of human survivors find refuge in a shopping mall during a zombie apocalypse—and puts his own spin on it. While the movie lacks the witty satire of Romero’s work, it more than makes up for it with relentless, zombie-crunching action.
