MCT:November 20, 2008Another masterpiece emerged from the hands of George A. Romero, "Dawn" is the best effort of his zombie movies and Romero's best to date. The anthropological and sociological tone of the movie plus brilliant soundtrack, terrific, ironic screenplay and a superbly scary cinematography gives to "Dawn" such a strenght inexistent on other many million gore flicks. One of the best horror movies of all-time. A classic even better than Romero's already astonishing "Night of the Living Dead".

In a lot of ways better than the original. A group of four survivors hide in a mall from zombies and others. That is pretty much the plot. Unlike the original, this one has a lot of gore.

Zombie films have always been my guilty pleasure when it comes to movies, and this one happens to be the best zombie film of all. I know detractors still knock the film for not being as imaginative as it might have been with respect to the look of its zombies. However, this minor detail hardly diminishes the pervasive sense of paranoia and action sequences that Romero and Co. deliver. There are several observations which explain why this film, in particular, evidences what makes the best films in this genre work so well: 1) an escalating (apocalyptic?) crisis situation where solutions arrived at through rational consideration are not clear or especially helpful; 2) aggressors who cannot be reasoned with or deterred; 3) the various ways in which characters, most of which are strangers, respond to such an unexpected predicament; 4) the claustrophobic feeling as the on-screen characters attempt to find refuge from their pursuers. What especially separates George Romero's "Dawn" from the rest, however, are the satiric social elements found in the film. Foremost of those observations is the rampancy of a materialistic mind-set and its influence on the "American-way of life." Where is one of the chief places the recently un-dead would trek toward? Why, the nearest shopping mall, of course -- a place that must have been important to them when they were alive.

Dawn of the Dead. The highly-anticipated (semi) sequel to Romero's cult/horror classic Night of the Living Dead. A basic splatter film set in a a mall in Pittsburg Pa (somewhere I live close to, but never got to visit). Something this movie has that most other horror movie lack is character development. You either learn to love or hate the characters. It also tackles racism. Although I must say I loved the opening swat riot scene, it had alot to do with racism at the time. Racism is something Romero is not shy of, since Night was one of the first major movies to star a black man.

The setting of this movie is great for a zombie movie. I know I'd rather be stuck in a shopping mall than any other place in a zombie outbreak. The characters make the best of this in montages of them going through stores and taking things. All while zombies are right outside waiting to get in.
The zombies themselves were kinda dissapointing. I don't know if they were ment to have a blueish hue or there was something wrong with the cameras. But it made them look cheesey & fake. The zombie shuffle (seen in many undead movies later) has originated in this film. I did however like the zombie flyboy (Steven) turns into near the end. I though he looked cool.

There were a lot of cool things in this movie, but I wouldn't give it nearly as much praise a lot of people give it. In the end it's still a mediocre horror movie, better than some and worse than others.

I love the line "When there is no more room in hell. The dead ..." I tend to think thon consumerism trait over hyped. I rate the movie as one of the finest within the genre. Rumours abound that Romero is now working upon the 5th installment.

Doesn't David Emge bear a striking resemblance to Hugh Laurie? I don't know, I always thought so... =)
