    for the exploitation fans

    Curse of the Maya was the original title but again, that doesn't attract the zombie fans. When they changed it to Dawn of the Living Dead it became noticed. But don't compare it with Romero stuff. This is pure exploitation. It contains bad acting, weird story lines, for example when she goes to bath she starts dreaming, when she wakes up she's out of bath and dressed but a few moments later she's back in bath. And the thing with the sun and the changing skies doesn't did the film any good. The colour grading is the worst you can see. Some scene's are underexposed, or filmed with the wrong colour temperature. But if you can stand that than you will have some bloody shots and even one gory shot of a beheading by the zombies. There is some gratuitous nudity, a strip that nothing had to do with the story. If you love exploitations than this is surely one for you otherwise you will have some questions when the end credits start rolling.

    not bad zombie flick with some cool gore scenes

    i bought this movie on DVD a little while ago under the title dawn of the living dead.now you're probably thinking the same thing that i am.why would anybody name their zombie movie so close to the ultimate classic dawn of the dead.i think they should stick to curse of the Mata.besides irritating David heavener who also directed and getting off to a slow start this isn't to bad of a zombie flick.the gore effects are decent and the scenes of a head getting ripped off a guys shoulders are sure to please zombie gore fans everywhere.also limbs chopped off and intestines eaten and even a vicious zombie baby.so hardcore zombie fans give this one a look .not the best but definitely not the worst

    Dawn Of The Living Dumbest Movie Ever Made

    If a weak premise and poor acting weren't enough to kill this movie, go ahead and throw in bucketfuls of 3rd-grade level cinematography, heaping tablespoons of cheesy special effects and sloppy choppy editing and you've got the recipe for this disaster of a movie. Dawn Of The Living Dead (Also known as Curse of the Maya) is the sort of mess that would barely get a passing grade in a high school film class.

    It's not even of one of those "so cheesy it's fun" pics. This is the sort of movie that would have made Ed Wood cringe. Do yourself a favor and find something better to do with 90 minutes of your life. Skip this movie!

    Joe Estevez

    Joe Estevez is Martin Sheen's younger brother, if you can believe it. I personally believe Emilio is his illegitimate son. I mean, come on! They look exactly the same. He acts in some pretty awesome movies, too. Have you ever seen "Curse of the Werewolf" on Mystery Science Theater. Anyway, this movie is not good in any way, shape, or form. It is a complete failure as a zombie flick. I mean it is not even laughable one bit. It is just boring and painful to sit through, not like some other awesomely horrible flicks where you can watch, laugh, and point out all the bad acting, directing and mistakes in general. Believe me, you are better avoiding this one completely.

    Got more fright's from Micky's not so scary Halloween party.

    Dawn of the living Dead or Evil Grave curse of the Maya or whatever it's called is not much of a horror movie as it is a unintentional comedy with no rules. It more funny then scary Joe Estevez and Amanda Bauman play a couple who move into a house that once belonged to a Maya Indian family who were murdered. Renee{Bauman}hears voices of the little girl and see a purple sun it turns out the family are zombies who don't know they are dead because they were not buried the right way the killer just thew them in a ditch. Renee see's the purple sun multiply in a surreal scene and wants to help the family by giving them a Mayan burial Todd Briges of Different strokes is in a small role as a mentally challenged worker. This is a fun movie not to take seriously it's worth a look But a lot dosen't make any sense like the ending it not something to watch if you want to be scared.
