Wonderful character development!

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Andy says he tosses a Molotov at the zombies and not good thing. For one, it didn't do anything. He says it just burns for a while and leaves them all grilled and smelling like Jimmy Dean! Classical lines like this one just made my day on this short. Priceless.With this "found" tape footage , we can finally see how Andy last days really fared out. As he was slowly starving and losing his sanity and grip on reality during the zombie apocalypse.I'm so glad this was included in the "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) DVD Special Features. Because I always wondered how Andy was holding out at the gun shop. I had no idea how bad it was for him over there all alone. I thought he had ample food and drink but it was not till he wrote "Hungry" to Kenneth (Ving Rhames) that it became apparent how desperate the situation truly was for poor Andy.Excellent short film and kudos to actor Bruce Bohne in his incredible performance of the character Andy. Oh and by the way, I'm the one who put up Andy's whole dialog/speech in the Quote section of this film! It took me quite a while to type in but I did it! Enjoy! :)

Bruce Bohne was the perfect choice to play the gun salesman named Andy, who is pretty much alone in his gun shop fending off the zombies overwhelming the world in the film. This bit of footage is a pretty convincing way of showing how he struggles to survive and retain his sanity. I found it pretty funny that the only other thing he could really talk to was his fish. This was a good extra and I still enjoy watching it. I didn't give it a perfect 10 because of the fact that he drinks and swears. But whatever. This was still pretty good and I can't wait for a sequel to the actual film.9/10

This supplement for the Dawn of the Dead DVD is pretty enjoyable. It's not supposed to be scary or frightening, it's supposed to be funny in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. It's also interesting to watch if you liked the movie or if you like zombies in general. It's very amusing to watch Andy try different things to deter the zombies trying to get in or describing how he found out that headshots were fatal. Bruce Bohne as Andy is excellent. He seems like someone you could hang out and have a drink with, if the world wasn't being overrun by zombies, of course. The only part that I didn't really like was the intercut scenes of Andy's wife and his daughter. All in all, a great extra on the DVD.

ALL the extra "films" on the DVD for "Dawn of the Dead" are incredibly lame, with horrible production values and questionable acting. This one is the more unwatchable of the two (if such a thing is possible), because it points a camera at a not-particularly-talented actor and has him improv for like 40 minutes.It's not a comedy, it's not a drama, in fact it's not anything at all, it just happens to have the same actor who played a (non-speaking) role in the film. Is that supposed to entice me to watch? Ed Wood made better "films" than this one. This was just someone's bored afternoon that they tried to pass as a DVD extra so they could charge an extra ten bucks. Don't fall for it.Watch the movie, not the extras. Awful... and what's worse, boring. The backstory it purports to "explain" isn't even consistent with the movie. Or zombie lore. Or technology, since he uses a VHS tape in 2005.
