I have to agree with malik, Dawn of the dead, was a stupid nonsense bad directed movie , the story doesnt add up. story line is shitty, the ending is bad, screwed up acting with “acting” emotions
I liked the blood part, but still very very very bad acting
The Movie sucked .. i even remember one day we rent the DVD and went to watch it On maliks DVD player, and we didnt continue it,and i regret the time that i spent downloading it
the movie doest kickass, it suck ass
