Dawn of the Dead (DVD, 2004, Unrated Director's Cut; Full Frame)

I don't watch horror movies - it just isn't something I normally do. But, I got dared into it by a friend, and I rarely turn down a dare (especially over a MOVIE!). So, I picked out one to watch (this one), barricaded the front door, got a blanket to hide under, and sat down to it.

I was really surprised at how quickly they jumped into gore - I figured there'd be more of a lead-in, getting to know your characters, etc. It worked though, so no problems there.

I haven't seen the original, so can't compare it to that. The gore factor was high, and very well done from my vantage point. I almost wet myself multiple times, had a high heart rate for the rest and was very glad when it was over, and I could say I had watched it.

I made use of the blanket, though thankfully I hadn't needed the barricade at the front door. =) I would most likely watch this again, as I now know where the suprise parts are, and could try and focus on more of the story, instead of trying to predict where the gross parts were so I could be hiding. (I did a very bad job of that, by the way.)

Oh, and the couple of seconds of the baby - REALLY creeped me out!!
