4 out of 5 stars Blood and Guts    December 19, 2008
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
George A. Romero's original "Dawn of the Dead" is as haunting and creepy as the remake. Despite its low budget, there are tons of blood and gore and violence all around. There's some black humor, also. The actors are believable as their characters are memorable. The zombies (not as fast as the ones in the remake) are just downright scary; the blood and guts are not for squeamish. Truly a must-see for all zombie lovers from all across the globe.

Movie: A-
DVD: C+
I should've seen the Ultimate Edition rather than the Divimax. But oh, well.

One-Line Film Reviews (Ann Arbor)
The Bottom Line:

Zombie-czar George A Romero delivers one of the best all-around horror movies ever made in Dawn of the Dead, a film which combines solid characterization, skillful direction, and sly social commentary with exploding heads, severed arms, and buckets of blood.


5 out of 5 stars Best Zombie Movie ever    December 12, 2008
Sean Lane (St. Clair Shores, Mi United States)

This Movie looks so Great On Blu-ray Its nice to see My Fav. Movie of all time be on Hi-Def. For anyone who Hasn't seen this I would forsure pick this one up. The best Zombie Film ever made.

When I first seen this movie I feel in Love with it. Its the best Zombie movie ever made so far. You can't beat or mess with any of George A. Romero Classic Zombie Films. Since he opened the door for so many Other Zombie movies, games and comic books out there. If it wasn't for Dawn Of The Dead, Zombie Movies wouldn't be any good at all.


5 out of 5 stars One of the best Zombie movies ever    December 1, 2008
D. Steigman (USA)
My favorite Zombie movie. The best way to see this is unrated and uncut. Not for the faint at heart or those easily grossed out. Lots of blood,and exposed intestines. Ken Foree was great in this. He is one of 4 survivors trapped in a mall with zombies. They fly to the mall after a drug bust in an apartment where zombies are on the loose. They escape via chopper to a mall. The mall is filled with zombies. Tom Savini leads a gang of bikers who want the mall for themselves and go after Ken & co. (all GREAT performances) and you actually feel bad for the zombies who are getting attacked by Savini & his bikers. Cool twists, cool flick,great acting, & SPFX the best Zombie film if you ask me. The best version of this on DVD is the ultimate edition from Anchor Bay which has 3 versions of the movie(including Dario Argento's version)..
