Dawn of the Dead (2004) Zack Snyder In terms of a remake, the original is still better, but in terms of a movie on its own, it holds up and delivers. It's a solid zombie flick and that's all that it is. It's not much for... |

Dead Snow (2009) Tommy Wirkola A film with a lot of lost potential. Strip away the snow setting and Nazi zombies and you're given a pretty standard zombie flick. Although branded a horror comedy, there's actually very... |

|
Let the Right One In (2008) Tomas Alfredson More of a romance-drama than a horror flick, this proved to be a good and semi-original take on the vampire sub-genre. Though, due to its slow-pace it will likely turn off viewers, but if you don... |
