Summary: SEE YOU AT DAWN
Review: George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" is truly the most horrifying, frightening film of all time. The violence, the characters, the storyline will drive any viewer to madness. Ken Foree is excellent in this stroke of cinematic genius.

Summary: If you like zombies then watch!
Review: Dawn of the Dead is simply a good zombie film. The suspense is not extreme, but it is present. You do want to keep watching to see how everything will turn out. The setting is a neat idea and the characters show what can happen when everyone does not work together as part of a team in the zombie-fighting realm. If you like zombie flicks, this is a classic!

Summary: Dawn of the Dead is a true masterpiece!
Review: I'm sure those who enjoy "modern" horror movies had a hard time understanding this picture. It didn't have a bunch of Dawson's Creek pretty boys or Buffy babes, an impossible to kill psycho with a white mask, a plot that could be understood inbetween making out with your girlfriend and a dozen trips to the bathroom, and it certainly doesn't have a stupid, irrational plot twist at the end that makes the film unenjoyable after more than one viewing! When you think about the premace of this film, you must consider the extreme survival conditions the four fugitives had to overcome and the moral judgements they made such as stealing the chopper, breaking into the mall, and considering aborting a baby. The personal conflicts between the characters mixed with the terror of a world filled with flesh eating zombies creates a tense, horrific, and in some ways realistic, end of the world scenario. This film is graphic and for it's time, it was well done. I'd take this film over any of the so-called "modern" horror films of the 90's. If you want brainless babes and beach boys running from a GQ model in a cheap costume, this isn't the film for you!

Summary: A classic in it's own right.I would highly recommend it.
Review: This sequel to Night of the Living Dead(1968)is highly as effective as any other horror film that I have ever seen.Directed by George A.Romero(He directed Night of the Living Dead),we find three people trying to survive the apocalypstic nightmare that has been caused by these flesh eating creatures.There lust for human flesh is made all too clear with the superb special makeup effects by Tom Savini.While we watch the characters try to survive and keep themselves from being torned apart we also are drawned into all the gore that this film throws at us.Just imagine what it would be like if the dead really did rise.Forget nuclear war.Maybe that was George A.Romero was asking himself while making this sequel.The most famous exploding head scene really knocked me out as a horror fan.Dawn of the Dead proves that with all the gore they have in this film,there are no limits when it comes to shock value.I myself would highly recommend this horror classic and think it is the most highly praised (Or at least one of )horror films in generations to come.Dawn of the Dead is a horror film I really enjoy.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Well, I think that Dawn Of The Dead is really disappointing. First a very very bad story which contains NOTHING. You see, from the beginning to the end there aren't any real events. First four people go to a mall to guard themselves from bloodthirsty zombies .................... But the really disappointing thing is HORROR because I didn't see anything to scare of. Yes, it contains the gruesome killing and eating scenes. But violence not the only thing needed to make a good horror movie. The make up is really bad. The zombies and the blood look obviously fake. And there is a very important point I want to say and this point makes me laugh while seeing Dawn of the Dead, not frightened. How can anybody play, laugh and looks happy while fighting dead people, zombies, something you have never seen in your live? This is very bad point in this movie. Do you know why? Because you can't get scared if you watched people surrounded by zombies and they don't look scared. Just one more thing to say, Dawn of the Dead may please someone who likes classic horror movies. But for modern horror film fans, It's extremely ridiculous!

Summary: "How did this become a cult classic?"
Review: I don't understand all of the reviews above on this film. My honest opinion is, that this was simply one of the worst films I have ever seen, if the worst. The ending was terrible, unrealistic, and poorly acted. The special f/x were the only thing good about the film, but it was still too gory for a 1970's movie. I felt I was watching a "Faces of Death" film, with a little bit of comedy in the mix. Please do not eat while watching this film. I saw this movie for the first time a few months ago on Cinemax. I wanted to see what all of the talk was about on this film. Two and a half hours later I found out. The film was so corny, that I taped it and brought it to my cousin the same day to watch and suffer through. He felt the same way as I do, and was angry that I suckered him into watching a movie like that. I guess that because I was bitter about the movie, I had to take my anger out on someone else. Unfortunately, it was my innocent by-stander cousin. It was definately 2 1/2 hours of our lives that we wanted back. I can't believe production companies would even consider coming out with a special edition, director's cut of this film. If you have not seen this film, and have heard all of the talk about how good it is, please be my guest and watch it, and form your own opinion. Hopefully you will feel the same way I do, and be really bitter about the time you wasted watching the movie. If not, then i'm wondering what is happening to the world. This is definitely a "CULT classic" among people who enjoy B-movies.

Summary: The best horror film of all time
Review: This is a brilliant horror film. If you like horror films and haven't seen this one, you're in for quite a treat. By far the best and most fun of George Romero's "Dead" triology, this is also, in my opinion, the best horror film ever made. Four survivors of a world-wide yawning-grave zombie plague hole up in an abandoned shopping mall and fend off the mindless swarm of zombies that pose a threat to their continued existence. Romero does a terrific job of constructing an equally creepy and adventurous atmosphere. Being a child of the seventies, some of my earliest memories are of wandering around large shopping malls in tow of my mom. Place has always been an important thing for me, and this movie is definitely a movie with a spirit of "place". This movie touched something deep in me the first time I saw it when I was about 14, and I've loved it ever since. There's plenty of wonder, adventure, fun, and humor to balance the film's apocolyptic creepiness and bright-red comic book gore. I also love the love-of-film-making which makes itself so evident in the film's camera angles, editing, choice of music, and montage shots. It would doubtlessly be terrifying to truly be one of the last few people left on the face of the earth with warm blood flowing through your veins, but there's something about imagining banding together with a couple of friends and taking on a world of zombies that seems so...well, so fun. "Dawn of the Dead" makes it seem like it might just be the time of your life. An excellent film, maybe not perfect in all technical senses, but clearly making up for any flaws with an abundance of style, mood, and substance. I just hope George Romero decides to release another version of this DVD including a commentary track, as he did with the recent DVD relases of his other great films "Knightriders" and "Martin". Of course, I also hope his name will be returning to the big screen sometime soon.

Summary: Dated? Yes...But still a classic.
Review: The reviews previous to this are pretty much accurate. Romero's follow is probably one of the 10 best Horror movies of the 1970's. However, while other (such as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) trys to grab you by pushing the limits with shock, Georgie boy goes the other way by getting you to think just a touch. This movie is not really a sequel to Night of the Living Dead (one of the top 10 of the 1960's), but can be seen as related (set 1~2 years after). Man is in dire danger, as the dead have come back to life. Civilization is breaking down and choas is helping the Zombie's win. Four survivors take off in a helicopter and are forced to land on the roof of a shopping mall, surrounded by Zombies. The movie paints broad strokes, the characters are just not really developed enough. The movie is about materialism and greed, and how our current society is based more on emptiness (using the shopping mall as a mecca as an example) rather than any sound foundation. The DVD is bare, with a few features (the funniest being an advertisement for the mall, where the movie was shot). There is no audio commentary and the soundtrack was in Mono. However, if you like horror movies to be alittle less about T&A and Gore, try out the Dawn of the Dead.....Before there is no more room in hell....Rating: B.

Summary: One of the most original horror movies ever
Review: The world population has been infected by a disease that turns people into flesh eating zombies. Four humans have decided to escape the plague by escaping in a helicopter. They end up landing at a zombie infested shopping mall and its up to them to use the proper survival tatics to stay alive. This is actually a horror movie with a plot, not just some gore loaded splatter movie. Even if your not a horror movie fan, this one might actually appeal to you, because it has a dramatic mood to it. Its actually horror mixed with adventure and drama. Written and Directed by George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead).
