I really just didn't like Dawn. The premise is mildly interesting but the characters all suffered from the galloping stupids.

For the eating scene, the lead-up itself is actually amusing to me, mainly because, again, two pointless characters died in a really stupid way; Makoto Ouiji's death reminds me of it, in fact, since they even both involve people not listening and improbably large explosions.

I've never really been a fan of how Romero handles death, mainly because he just tends to devolve into massive cannibalistic orgies. There's no significance to the death itself; it's all about the shock value. It's possible it's simply my religious upbringing, but to me, the end of a human life should be something profound and significant, not a spectacle.

If you read the end of this chapter, you can see how I'd handle a scene like this. As I've said before, I wrote this about five years ago, and it's obviously not a strong effort.

As for amusing scenes in horror movies, mine depends on whether or not you believe Survival of the Dead is meant to be scary. The scene where the one Guardsman bites the zombie's finger off is probably my favorite.

If, of course, that movie is disqualified, then there's the scene when Kaufman's goons (one of whom is Romero's daughter) show off all the training and experience they gained from his training by wasting about four hundred rounds in sustained automatic weapons fire on a completely immobile zombie. I hope he saved his receipts.
