****/**** George A. Romero, the godfather of horror made clear his superiority in the horror genre by concocting this brilliant masterpiece. In a post-apocalyptic world zombies walk amok devouring all humans in sight. Meanwhile four people barricade themselves in a shopping mall safe and sound from the carnage outside.The movie is essentially a metaphor on consumerism and how we react to threatening situations.It is also about how the people in the mall fabricate their own little universe inside the shopping mall and forget the madness lurking outside. A great horror film that is also very touching, compelling, and completely mesmerizing. A classic.

George's second in the "dead" series.I love how his movies are more than just about zombies, they are a mirror into the current condition of humanity (at the time of filming).They are also very entertaining and he always gives us new and exciting ways to kill zombies in every movie.
What's great about it: written/directed by the father of all zombies

Remaining in my opinion the greatest Zombie film ever made, George A Romero created a film with a message hidden underneath (see if you can figure it out when watching) a batch of zombies in a mall. Plenty of gore, character development for people you actualy care for, a killer soundtrack (by Goblin for those wondering) and the best scenario for a Zombie film ever, being trapped in a mall. If you have not watched this film do yourself a favor and track it down, and if you can grab a copy of the "Ultimate Edition" and thank me later.
What's great about it: Great cast, memorable soundtrack, unmatched 'til this day
What's not so great: Some may not like the more "comical" parts of the film

This movie is incredible. I wish I bought the 4 disc delux edition but I did a blind buy and didn't want to risk the extra money. Maybe I'll upgrade some day.
What's great about it: It's awesome
What's not so great: This particular dvd has minimal bonus features

The first time I saw this, I was afraid to go to sleep afterwards. Years later I realize that was just childish foolishness but the movie is still excellent. Characters that you care about, the Hare Krishna zombie, and a guy who just HAS to get his blood presure checked during a raid on a mall while zombies are converging on the whole scene this movie had everything. Yeah, the zombie effects were a little lacking and the blood was practically orange, but that's all good, it's part of the movie's charm.

Even though I have used the terms "Masterpiece" and "Incredible" with several of the movies, I've reviewed, I've done so because I believe so. And George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead is nothing short of either term. For plot: DOTD picks up where Night Of The Living Dead left off, months later. Humanity is beginning to see how much of a threat the zombies are to them and begin to lose the war for survival. Like Romero's other zombie films, this one has a hidden message about society of the time in satirical way. A major feature of this boxed set is you get the 1978 theatrical version of the film, The uncut version of the film, and the European cut of the film. Also there are Theatrical trailers, TV spots, raido spots, commentaries, a tour of the Monroeville mall, a 1978 commercial for the mall (this will seem familiar to Adult Swim fans, as it was recently parodied there), and several other features. It also features the first issue of the Dawn Of The Dead graphic novel adaption. Dawn Of The Dead is an impressive movie, and is not to be ignored. Please buy a copy of any version of the 1978 version (and maybe of the Zack Snyder's 2004 version) and watch it the second you get to a DVD player, it will reach you.

George Romero's followup to his legendary Night of the Living Dead is perhaps the most famous zombie movie ever! It is also the most tongue-in-cheek with assorted people fleeing the ever-growing armies of the undead and finding refuge in a shopping mall (which, in 1978, weren't as commonplace as they are now). Hence the film can also be viewed as a commentary of American consumerism as our heroes have basically every means at their disposal to fight the undead menaces. The actors are all fine, but the real star of the film is Tom Savini's makeup FX, which are wonderfully bloody.
