Summary: A Lovely Day at The Mall
Review: George Romero has been given credit for inventing zombies. For the record, there were zombie movies before Romero came along. Now moving along. A very original movie, and original concept. I am sure most of you already know it is about a group of people trapped in a mall while a world of zombies wonders around outside, eventually making their way inside the mall. I think the acting is high schoolish, as was the acting in the follow up "Day Of The Dead". Some of the zombie make up looks like amateurs dressing up for Halloween. But I do agree this is a classic. I would not agree this is the greatest horror film ever made as been said by many reviewers. I still prefer "Day Of The Dead" over this film. Some people think Romero can do no wrong, and I like some of his work, but I simply do not believe the zombie concept belongs to him, as so many people seem to think. I also wish everyone would stop comparing every "walking dead" film to Romero's work.

Summary: When there's no room in hell...
Review: The dead will walk the earth! This movie rules! I don't think it's my favorite of the trilogy, but it definitely rules! It has some really good gore. I love the part where the zombies rip the one dude open and have a feast on his intestines. I'm a sucker for evisceration, what can I say? I loved Gaylen Ross (aka Alexis Dubin)'s character in the movie. I first saw her in Madman and loved her. She's a great actress. My favorite character in this movie is probably Ken Foree's character, Peter Washington. He's so gnarly. The score is great, too. I love anything that Goblin does. I can't wait for the 3-disc DVD release of this, which is coming February 2004 from our pals at Anchor Bay. I'll definitely be picking that up.

Summary: The Dead are Alive! (What an oxymoron)
Review: Dawn of the Dead is the sequel to the superior Night of the Living Dead, and is without a doubt one of the greatest horror film of all time. Scary, horrifying, funny, intelligent, humorous and atmospheric.George Romero's 1978 follow-up to his classic Night of the Living Dead is quite terrifying and gory. But in its own way, it is just as comically satiric as the first film in its take on contemporary values. This time, we follow the fortunes of four people who lock themselves inside a shopping mall to get away from the marauding dead and who then immerse themselves in unabashed consumerism, taking what they want from an array of clothing and jewelry shops, making gourmet meals, etc. It's great. Now there's an atrocious re-make coming up, so skip the stupid re-make and see the TRUE Dawn of the Dead. Probably the greatest horror film ever.

Summary: Dawn of the Dead-U.S Theatrical Cut
Review: The Second entry in George Romero's "Dead Trilogy" Dawn of the Dead, picks up after Night of the living Dead, we see that the living dead have begun to overrun us, and evacuation is ordered, the story revolves around a group of 4 (2 Swat team members, and 2 newssstation emploies) the 4 journie through america this is one point were Romero's social commentaries comes through to make the film even better, eventually the 4 make it to a shopping center and barricade themselves in, not before having to engage in battles with the living dead already in the mall, but as time passes we see how life is somewhat normal in the mall between them, but there normality does not last long untill a band of scavengers make their way into the mall letting in legions of the undead (I might have exagerated on legions, maybe hundreds and hundreds, maybe even a thousand). Romero's film not only deliveres Zombie Action, and moments of horror, he manages to give his movie a moral, or personal reflection of what one man saw, and with that he gave us a view of a society crumbling, a race on the verge of extinction, and as the end nears we see that no meteor, or God destroys us, We destroyed ourselves.

Summary: The goriest movie I've ever seen
Review: ...and also, one of the worst horror films I've ever seen. It is NOT scary or terrifying at all! It's just stupid, sick, violent, and gory. All the gore effects are there for the sake of viewers wanting to see some zombie action. There are almost no characters you get to know or care about, or even something worth remembering. It's just like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", only this is much worse.

Summary: The greatest zombie movie ever
Review: Although many parts of it are dated and almost laughable by today's standards, George Romero's zombie epic is unmatched by any made before or after it, including Romero's own Night of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead. This is the Empire Strikes Back of horror films. Picking up a little bit after Night of the Living Dead left off, the dead are rising and crave living human flesh for food. Two SWAT team officers and two TV station employees steal a traffic helicopter and flee the carnage, eventually taking refuge in a massive mall which is filled to the brim with zombies yet offers great potential as a shelter. Although ultimately a horror film, Dawn serves equally well as an action piece. The survivors don't only fight the zombies but other survivors, making for some explosively gory shootouts. The film conveys a good message about consumerism too; as the zombies mindlessly drone about the mall that they remember from their past lives, it's almost the same as watching living people. It may be a tad bit dated, but Dawn of the Dead holds up as a great horror and action movie, and even as a satire on human nature and consumerism. Throw some truly horrific comic book gore into the mix and you've got one hell of a great movie for anyone with a strong stomach.

Summary: 4.5 OUT 5=BEST ZOMBIE MOVIE PERIOD
Review: Dawn Of The Dead is the mother of all zombie movies,even italian directors that copy with imitators like(HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD,NIGHTMARE CITY,CITY OF THE DEAD)and so on can not come close to this masterpiece. To bad this movie is out of print on DVD,but I heard they are releasing in a box set with better sound and picture quality than this version. I can't wait!!

Summary: AWFUL!!!
Review: This movie was soo gory! Not that I care that it's gory, it's just that the blood was more orangish yellow than red. The acting was weak and the special effects that everyone is raving about is pathetic. They even used the same dead people throughout the film that already got blown up!!My advice is to skip this cheesey horror flick.

Summary: Finally, a gory horror flick that will make you think.
Review: Dawn of the Dead, the legitimate sequel to George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, supercedes the original in countless ways. The horror of Dawn is different than the original, as it works to comment on the absurdity and trivialities of consumer-capitalistism in North America, while examining the social ideologies which make up the ways in which we perceive the world and interact with each other. In other words, it's an excellent freaking gore-fest. I picked up this movie at the video store one day with a lot of hesitation since I hadn't been the biggest fan of the horror genre. Growing up with the mundane and redundant so-called "scary movies" like the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th series, there didn't seem to be much out there in terms of genuinely terrifying and suspenceful horror films. I'd walk by the horror aisle time and time again, and the Dawn video case was just staring at me. So, I decided to give it a try. It blew me away. The dialogue between the four protagonists rings true, which in and of itself was surprising. It's difficult to find a movie in this genre that relies heavily on realism rather than shlock or contrived scare tactics. Produced in the early seventies, the film takes place in the interior of a vast suburban shopping mall. The look and feel of the era is fascinating - the epitome of tacky-chic. It's difficult to believe that the fashions of the time could have ever been considered attractive. Although the make-up effects are nothing spectacular, Romero manages to utilize his limited budget into creating some of the most grotesque images filmed. The blood may look more like the paint we used in the second grade during arts and crafts, but when the zombies bite into that human flesh, the disbelief is pretty much suspended. Dawn of the Dead is one of the best horror films out there, and probably just one of the best films made overall. Sure, it might scare you, or it just might make you laugh, or it might make you think, or it might make you nostalgiac for beige polyester, but it will definitely leave you entertained.
