Summary: Strictly for horror fans
Review: Maybe it is because I am not a horror film fan that I don't like this film. Though I must say that if this is the state of the art, then I have no desire to be a horror film fan. I have noticed that old and specialized films always get high rates on Amazon, surely because only real fans buy them and rate them. This has the downside that some non-fans will be convinced that the film is really a classic and excellent film, and not just a fan cornerstone. Dawn of the Dead starts without a beginning, there is no introduction to the setting, the story, or the characters. It is so confusing that I had to go back to see if I missed a chapter. It also has mediocre acting, mediocre make-up and effects, and a mediocre story. I strongly suspect that it has been so influential solely because it was *first* with something or other, not because of ultimate quality.

Summary: a great zombie fest!...
Review: This movie is one of the best zombie movies ever! George Romero's vision is finally realized in this movie, which is in color unlike it's predecessor. This film is much more gorier just because it's in color. Tom Savini is a makeup genius in every way. I also liked the plot to the film, in which the walking dead is starting to multply into the thousands( which is what happens in the next installment). Four survivors escape Philadelphia and end up on top of a deserted shopping mall. They use it to their full advantage, gathering any kind of supplies they need. They end up staying there for months after taking care of the zombies inside the mall. But when a group of looters break into their somewhat perfect environment,all hell breaks loose! Definitely the best installment in George Romeo's trilogy! I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in hooror films.5 stars!...

Summary: John Fraser, Zombie Freak!
Review: Can i just say that DAWN OF THE DEAD is a true work of art.
The storyline, the action, and everything else works better then i ever expected in a horror film, the atmosphere is astounding and the zombies do excellent in this fine piece of work from and can i say 'a true master' GEORGE A ROMERO.
I would like him and would think thousands of other fans like him to do more 'zombie' flicks but in different situations.
Im not going to spoil this GREAT horror because you must buy it to be believed, your money will be worth spent!

Summary: Bring out your Dead!
Review: When I first saw "Dawn of the Dead" I believe I was 17. Even at that hardened age I was frightened. I began watch more of the Romero's films, all of his "Dead" films, and branched out to the Rubinstein spin-offs, "Return of the Living Dead." I'm not obsessed with the zombie movies, but since I was 12 years old I was trapped at a drive-in with my brother for a dusk to dawn movie run for Halloween where among other films, director Lucio Fulci's "Zombie" was playing, it changed the way I slept at night forever. With Romero at the helm, the zombie's are characters rather than background and the stories are strong. When I found this version of the DVD (I have the 2 disc set) I jumped to purchase it. Unfortunately since I live in the U.S. I didn't have a DVD player that ran Region 2 movies. Once I upgraded my DVD player I wasn't disappointed by the movie. I have both versions of the film on the 2-disc set and the director's cut is by far the best film in the "Dead" series. Now, because of Romero's vision, I'm always on the look out for other zombie films to scare the flesh from my bones. I recently (2003) found "Junk" from Japan and for anyone who loves zombie movies, need to check this out!

Summary: Hands down best of its genre
Review: Dawn of the Dead is a superb film. More of a reworking of the original than a sequel, it is phenomenally well directed considering the obviously miniscule budget. At times it is hillarious, other times quite frightening, but most of the time it is just good fun. Dawn is kind of dated, but its dated in that way where you can just laugh at that embarassing 70s quasi hip that makes most of us cringe when looking photos of ourselves in that era. The performances are great, even when dealing with some extremely bad dialog (which actually adds to the film overall in a weird sort of way).
The story is simple but inspired; locating most of the action in a mall allows the film to be simultaneously apocalyptic and utopian.
The music is also great, beginning with the opening credits scene. The opening scene brilliantly establishes the mood of the film from the get go, without being obvious or giving away too much. Its refreshing that this film doesn't try to explain things, it just goes with the flow.
The Makeup is at times incredible, but its not over done.
I highly recommend this film to anyone who appreciates low budget film making at its best.

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.
