Summary: Liked it better the second time around
Review: Now that I've viewed this movie several times already, I have to say that it is almost as good as Night! The beginning was a bit gory, and seemed even misleading, but after sticking with it the spirit of the first film kicks in. There is definitely more comedy, as I don't really recall ANY in the first one. But there are also some really intense scenes. As in Day of the Dead, the characters are less than lovable. In the first movie there were a few likable characters but the sequels lost something by not keeping that. I guess nice people just don't survive! Anyway, Definitely a great movie but ya know, it would have been nice to have picked up with these characters in the next sequel. One tends to wonder what happened to the last people we saw! I'll throw this in though, minus the zombies, haven't we all wanted to have free run of a shopping mall like that?

Summary: the best of the best
Review: This movie is head and tails above the best when it comes to pure terror and (dated but fun) humour. The concept of the world being attacked by the undead and there is no safe place to hide adds to the overall genious of this movie. A graphically real tale that lends your imagination enough fuel to take this movie to heart and make it as savage as it appears. Mall haven+ undead hourdes= our heroes are in for a fright filled, combat frenzied, kill or be undead classic. If you are new to this series then take heart that there are others out there that also provide the basic zombie filled situations and fun. But this is the best of the best in my opinion. The crowning gem in Romero's crown. Run, hide, pray, but that's all going to amount to nothing because the undead is out there and they're hungry for the living. Fun for the horror lover in all of all us.

Summary: "Scary, isn't it?" One of the Best Horror Films Ever!!!!!!!
Review: The Living Dead are back and this time they're going shopping, for live human flesh! Four survivors of the mass hysteria that ensues from the original Night of the Living Dead hole up in a Mall, feeling safe and secure (with everything they could possibly need there for the taking). Of course those pesky zombies are attracted to the living (their sustenance) and the four must contend with the slow moving hordes of the undead. George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead is arguably as good, if not better than Night of the Living Dead, depending on who you ask. Much more graphic, and this time in living color, the zombies are even more relentless and vicious. But in this post apocalyptic nightmare it's not just the zombies that are the threat, but bands of anarchistic survivors as well. It's every man for himself as our quartet battle to save their new home from the dead and the living. A great social satire on the materialistic American ideal that in any given catastrophe could literally become a deathtrap. Violent, funny, and excruciatingly frightening, Dawn of the Dead is a must have for any Horror fan's collection. Followed by Day of the Dead and a 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead (directed by special effects wizard Tom Savini, who was responsible for the zombie effects). "When there's no more room in Hell the Dead will walk the Earth."

Summary: Death of the DVD
Review: First off, the movie didn't hold up to how I remembered it. But if you're considering buying the DVD, chances are you love the movie. So I am not going to review it. But I was disappointed in the DVD itself. The back cover says "5.1 Surround" but there is nothing here. I even got up and put a different DVD in my player to be sure my rear and left and right speakers were working.I didn't expect start of the art sound, but saying "5.1 Surround" on the back cover is an total lie! If you have a good quality video version of this movie, the DVD will not be any better.

Summary: Another classic by Romero.
Review: A great sequel to Night of the Living Dead. It's not as good as Night, but it's still a classic. This time a bunch of people is hiding in a shopping mall that's eventually invaded by zombies and a biker gang. Romeros cut is a bit too long and drags down the pace, but since the film is so good it's forgiven.

Summary: Even worse than the first offers nothing.
Review: In this one we see zombies everwhere ripping and tearing and eating flesh in fact the exccessive gore is the only thing new this one offers. Once again a band of humans stupidly barracade themselves this time in a shopping mall. And live their untill some bikers break in letting in the dead thus leading to the inevietible and preditible ending.Do your self a favor if you have not seen this don't waste your time or money. Watch Karloff's Frankenstein or any of the Universal monster classics instead.

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!
