Would agree, Dawn of the Dead and Body Snatchers only ones I see contending.
I didn't like the Dawn remake at all but it's been almost 20 years so I'll have to rewatch that at some point.

Vince Vaughn and Elijah Wood should have switched roles for remakes. An intimidating build is a big factor in what made the original Maniac work so well.
