Factual error: When the survivors are first in the mall, you can see a store called Roots with a Canadian beaver logo. While the movie was filmed in Canada, it is supposed to take place in the USA where Roots has a different logo. (00:17:05)
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Zack Snyder
Starring: Ving Rhames, Mekhi Phifer, Sarah Polley, Jake Weber
Kenneth, Anna, Terry, and Nicole get on Steve's boat and sail to the island. However, when they get there, it is infested with the zombies. The camera Terry is carrying falls on the dock when they run, and we see zombies dying left and right in front of it. As the flickering camera images of zombies turn into a cool credit sequence, we are left to wonder if the remaining survivors got back to the boat in time and managed to escape again. Much like the end of the orginal Dawn of the Dead.

Trivia: Stay for the duration of the credits. The movie doesn't end with them sailing away. There is a continuation in the credits.

Answer: It was actually explained in both versions that the zombies went to the mall because it was a place of familiarity, a place that they could remember even if they didn't know why.
