A zombie movie is a zombie movie. But MAN! Such BAD ACTING!!!!
Surely even with a shoestring budget you can get better talent than these yokels!!!!
It's like they just YANKED OFF any passers by and held them at gunpoint to pose as actors!
You know what? SHOOT THE DIRECTOR and the PRODUCERS!
. Even the zombies can't save this film!!! HORRIBLE!!!!

In response to adam pikes review, i also was an extra in this and the scene he refers to was for a different movie.
For zombie film junkies only. The title of this film should be "Yawning of the Dead." The "Dawning of the Dead" is one big "been there, done that." Totally uninspired.
The characters are pretty bad and I guess there was an attempt at having a strong female lead but since both the writing and acting is so bad you just end up rooting for the zombies to eat them all but it does take a few minutes to hate them that much so I guess its better then most movies these days.
No. Just no!
This is another one of those generic zombie movies that cash in on an establish movie in terms of its title, and has nothing to do with that aforementioned movie.
"Dawning of the Dead" was generic in every sense, the storyline was so predictable that you saw it coming a mile away. And since the directors opted to throw no curveballs or put in any twists or surprises, then it was just a straightforward, albeit very generic ride.
The zombie make-up was nothing extravagant, but at least they didn't succumb to the horrible B-movie mistake of just painting the faces gray and forgetting about the rest of the body.
Personally I find running zombies a major no-go in the zombie genre, and guess what? Yeah! There were running zombies here in "Dawning of the Dead" (aka "Apocalypse").
The characters in the movie were fairly generic too, although the did differ from one another. But it was ultimately just characters that you didn't bond with or felt empathy for. So when they died, you just shrug and move on.
I managed to finish this movie but can honestly say that I will not return to this zombie movie a second time.
