Dawn of the Dead is a great horror movie. But it came right out of the campy-horror tradition of the 50's. You know what I mean, you're either laughing out loud or going "eeeeww". Stephen King's Creepshow movie was also in this sub-genre.

By contrast, 28 days is a "modern" movie, meaning its a product of a more self-conscious, intentionally political kind of filmmaking. In other words, there's a point.

At the end of Dawn of the Dead, most people feel queasy and exhilirated -- like after a rollercoaster.

At the end of 28 days, you walk out of the movie theatre thinking why is it so easy for human beings to see each other as monsters?
