One of the first zombie films that I ever watched was the 2004 remake of George Romero's Dawn Of The Dead. The basic plot line is that a group of people end up in a shopping mall whilst the outside world is overrun by a zombie apocalypse.
The tagline is directly copied from the original and is 'When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth'. Unlike in the original, the special effects and makeup used on the zombies look much more realistic and the zombies themselves seem much more threatening.
Here is a link to the teaser trailer for the remake of Dawn Of The Dead.
In the first half of the trailer it would not appear that there is anything wrong as such. The shots are of people in a mall generally enjoying themselves, however the creepy music played over the top of these scenes would suggest otherwise. The short burst of news clips showing the 'zombie apocalypse' in the middle of the trailer is enough to inform the viewer what the film is actually about.
The second half of the trailer is then made up of the group of main characters dealing with the situation and contains lots of clips of them shooting at or running from masses of zombies.
