A sequel to Night of the Living Dead, a group of people are held up in a shopping mall but this time they have the advantage. They're armed, have much more knowledge about the living dead and have enough resources to survive. However, they realise this paradise in a post-apocalyptic world has much more of a burden on them than they think.
Dawn of the Dead has to be one of the most loved zombie films of all time and for good reason. Coming out in the late 1970's, the profound social statements made in this film extended upon the racial metaphor of the first film. The mindless zombies represented our obedience to consumerist society and the characters temptation to live in this utopia was an obvious social statement on the society of the time.
Tom Savini after collaborating with George A. Romero on Martin, did the make-up effects and performed stunts for the film. The zombies have a blue look to them and the blood is bright red like most films from the 70's. However, Savini creates some legitimately gruesome effects which were unprecedented for the time and paved the way for lots of censorship in different parts of the world.
George A. Romero ramps up the stakes with the sequel and the shopping mall setting evokes that sense of vulnerability unlike the first film which was very isolated. His direction creates suspense and thrills that will leave you on the edge of your seat!
Dawn of the Dead is an excellent horror satire that's a must see for horror buffs!
