IJW: Dawn of the Dead (1978) and hated it.

I was expecting a lot...the imdb rating and the rotten tomatoes stuff were all talking about how this movie is appalling and horrifying and brutal, etc, so I watched it.

The zombies were painted powder-blue. In one scene, a character is knocked over by a zombie and drops his mallet/hammer/thing. They roll around for what feels like an eternity, his wife standing by helpless, cutting back and forth between their sad fake fight and his arm straining for the damn weapon. It looked so blatantly unrealistic that I couldn't help but get angry. How could I possibly be scared by something like this? What a fucking disappointment. Maybe it was great in the 70's but I couldn't make it more than 30 minutes in.
