Summary: These movies are the ones that created the way zombies are!
Review: the second in george a. romeros dead trilogy, this movie, along with day of the dead (1985) are the reason zombies are zombies. director George A. Romero is the creator of the way zombies are! Movies like resident evil wish they had the talent and entertainment the dead trilogy has. This movie all starts out with a society gone mad. the dead are slowly taking over the world, as newscasters at a tv station try to urge viewers of the situation. meanwhile, two police officers, a helicopter pilot, and a newscaster flee the city in one of the tv stations helicopters. once they fled the city, they go ahead stealing gasoline from a deserted gas station, and fly over national guard troops, and rednecks hunting out the zombies. they soon discover a deserted shopping mall, not TO surrounded by zombies, and slowly start to make it their home, by killing all the zombies around, blocking the entrances, and taking advntage of all the free stuff in the mall! but soon, a biker gang discover their secret, and then raid the mall stealing everything, ripping the place apart, and leaving an open door for the living dead to roam the mall once again, and kill the group of people. this movie takes place in pittsburgh, and was shot in the famous monroeville mall. a classic, but soon forgotten film, it lives on today as one of the scariest, goriest, and frightening horror films of all time. in addition to this movie, i srongly reccomend the last in romeros trilogy, day of the dead. The dvds are rare, and cost a lot of money. that's why i own dvd copys of this movie, instead of the real thing. i suggest you wait for the new dvd releases of day of the dead, and dawn of the dead coming out later this year.

Summary: An Incredible Zombie Flick
Review: I love this movie. The gore is spectacular, the story is good, the characters are likeable, and I'd say its preety high quality for the run of the mill Zombie epics out there. This film belongs in every gorehounds collection. Night Of The Living Dead was great as well, but I still favor this more. It's actually hard to believe that this is a sequel. DOTD will always be one of my favorite horror films and one that continues to bring a twisted smile to my face. If you like horror, this is essential.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Now if only Ramero would stick to zombie movie's.
Review: I first saw Dawn when I was about twelve years old and it has become one of my favorite movies and one of the best horror movies ever made.
The movie opens with things already taking a turn for the worse. In a news studio we first meet Francine Parker (Gaylen Ross) who just wake's up from an aparent nightmare, into a real life one. The filmmakers don't let you know right away what's happening but let's you know that thing's are going south. Fran argue's over rescue stations and the studio tries ,in vain, to conduct an interview. It becomes apparent that compleat caos has begun. Fran is further pressed by her boyfriend Stephen Andrews (David Emge) a helicopter pilot to flee.
Then we meet two national gaurdsmen Peter Washington (Ken Forre) and Roger DeMarco (Scott Rinigner) who join Fran and Steve in escaping. It becomes apparent that zombies have begun to take over the world and the the human race is now their only sorce of food. The four escape to a shopping center and hold up, living in comfort considering they have the run of the place as long as the dead don't get them first.
The interesting thing about Dawn of the dead is that at time's you envy the players becouse they get the run of this huge shopping center and have every comfort givin to them, but by the end however you realize that it all means nothing.
Watch for cameo's from make up FX wiz Tom Savini as the leader of an outlaw gang and George Ramero himself in the bigging griping about writing new rescue stations.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome movie, but who can afford it?
Review: I loved this movie when I was a kid, but 89$ is way more than I'd pay to keep it on my shelf. Good luck finding it elsewhere.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: damn great film
Review: I have seen this movie nearly 25 times, and it has never lost its luster. this films social criticism is probably my favorite aspect of this movie. its great to think about "what would i do if everyone i knew and love suddenly was my enemy?" and "where would i go and what could i do?". personally i would curl up in the corner and allow myself to be consumed by my dead grandmother or something. it allows us a look into true human nature and really makes you think...plus the gore is great! did i mention that? no? well its great! i think dawn of the dead has to be my favorite out of the Dead series. oh yeah, buy it. you wont be dissapointed...but i would wait until that 3-disc special edition set comes out if i were you. its one of my favorite movies, but its not worth 100 bones.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Romero's Best
Review: Its hard for me to say, but this film really is better than N.O.T.L.D. Romero scores big time with this genuinely frightening, inteligent comentary on the human race. While the main plot is the characters trying to survive, Romero sneeks in a sub-plot about human indulgences. The main characters start off in a tv station, but when they get their hands on a helicopter, they run off to a mall. The characters board themselves up in the mall (much like the characters in Night do to the house) and temporarily have the mall all to themselves. In this time, they go on a rampage through the mall, taking whatever they want, back up to their little room upstairs. Of course, like all Romero films, things go awry, and we are treated to a spectacular finish. In the end, its not the zombies the characters worry about, but something far worse. Watch it to find out what. A+++.

Note: Of course, the gore is in abundence, and it looks great.

Rating: 5 stars
