Summary: THIS RELEASE IS NOT CROPPED
Review: (...)I would like to point out that Dawn of the Dead was shot in the 1.66 ratio. It was masked,meaning the top and bottom of the film were covered, to give it a 1.85 ratio for theatrical release. The masking was removed for this transfer, so you are seeing the whole film frame. You are getting more information than if you saw it in the theater. It was not cropped from 1.85 to 1.66. You can look look this up at the Internet Movie Database-you can check the technical specs of this or any other movie.

Summary: It's a perfect slice of 1970s cult cinema.
Review: [...] This is essentially the print released during the original 1978 release; the only difference is some additional material added during the police dock scene. The Cannes cut and the so-called "Director's Edition" are interesting, but not what Romero intended for domestic audiences.That being said, "Dawn" is no ordinary horror film! So many reviewers completely miss the point. DOTD, in my view, does NOT suffer from anachronism. Indeed, this brilliant satire of consumerism is very appropriately set during the 1970s. The excess, the self-absorption of the "me" decade is a perfect backdrop. The special effects are indeed cartoonish and not particularly scary. This is perfectly appropriate for the satirical nature of a film that some interpret as a very dark sarcastic tragedy. The film is a continuation of the scenario of "Night of the Living Dead". The recently dead have risen and are attacking the living. "Dawn" starts 3 weeks after "Night", and the living dead have begun to get the upper-hand over humanity. To make matters worse, many of the human survivors refuse to acknowledge the situation, in some cases inciting rioting, looting, and violence among the remaining human population. Four survivors from diverse backgrounds take to the skies in a traffic helicopter to find refuge, and they land in a shopping mall in an area overrun by the living dead. The quartet manage to wall themselves within the mall and set up a small survivor colony. The nearly limitless supply of goods and diversions in their shopping mall citadel appeals to their natural consumerism, and they spend the next several months in a fog of denial and overconsumption. Of course, such a short-sighted society will eventually feed upon itself and collapse... Those viewers wanting brutality and violence by themselves (without the interference of Romero's subtext) will not especially enjoy this film. Alternative films directe by Fulci, HG Lewis, etc. should satisfy this audience. There had never been a film like this up until 1978, and it's unfair to compare DOTD with its successors. Technical details are average across the board, note that details about the aspect ration can be found on IMDB and elsewhere. Extras are sparse; this film cries out for at least a directors commentary and digital cleanup. There are rumors of a future Anchor Bay edition containing much more than this package offers; in the meantime, this edition will occupy a needed place in a thinking person's horror collection. See "Document of the Dead" (dir: Roy Frumkes) for an informative but dry commentary on the making of "Dawn".

Summary: Hiding out from flesh-eating zombies at the Monroeville Mall
Review: Director George A. Romero followed up his low-budget cult classic "Night of the Living Dead" with this bleak satire of American consumerism. Traffic reporter Stephen Andrews (David Emge) and his girlfriend Francine Parker (Gaylen Ross) take refuge from the walking dead in a Monroeville Mall, where they hook up with Peter Washington (Ken Foree) and Roger DeMarco (Scott H. Reiniger), a pair of SWAT team cops. Sex, politics and race come into play among the quartet while the flesh-eating zombies try to find a way into the shopping center. Although there is some similarity to the original, a group of people holed up and trying to survive, there is much more of a sense that we are in for the long haul on this one, which makes it just as disquieting in a slightly different way. We also find out that having free run in a shopping mall is not everything you would think it would crack up to be. This is the "U.S. Theatrical Cut" of "Dawn of the Dead," which means it is the original American release and not the Director's Cut later released by Romero. There was also a shorter version, edited by Dario Argento, called "Zombie," that was released in Italy with alternate footage, which is included on this DVD. Also included are the theatrical trailers and a commercial for the Monroeville Mall, but the extras are surprisingly sparse on this DVD. Final warning: I would avoid trying to do a double-feature of Romero's zombie films, unless, of course, you are trying to inspire yourself to go on a diet.

Summary: THIS MOVIE STINKS!
Review: I can't believe what a horrible film this is! It is so slow moving and boring. The whole film takes place in a stupid mall filled with zombies. The film is incredibly hard to follow -the plot bounces around and never stays on one matter long enough to understand what's going on. The zombies are only in half the movie becuase the other halfs just the characters running around doing stupid things. Don't bother with this bombshell.

Summary: The Greatest Sequel Ever!
Review: People usually say that sequels ruin the original look of the first films. But this movie is way better than 'Night of the Living Dead'. This movie scared me when I was about five, and again, when I was ten. This review may not be much, but rent 'Dawn of the Dead' anyway. You won't be displeased. I promise.
