20. Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Long before he made a name for himself helming adaptations of DC Comics franchises, Zack Snyder made his feature film debut as director of this remake of George Romero's 1978 cult classic. The 2004 rendition follows the story of Ana (Sarah Polley), a young beautiful nurse who discovers that her neighbors and her husband have become zombies. Coming to the startling conclusion that something crazy is afoot, she along with other survivors head to the nearby deserted shopping mall in order seek safety. In addition to Polley, the film stars Jake Weber, Mekhi Phifer, Ty Burrell, and Ving Rhames, who was so eager to join the project that he tracked down the producers in order to be in the film. Astute horror fans will see many differences between this remake and the original, one of the most prominent being that the zombies in this film run at full speed instead of the customary slow, shuffling pace of other zombie films.
