Dawn of the Dead

PëRMBLEDHJE

With its shopping mall setting, some see this astoundingly violent sequel to the classic Night of the Living Dead as a satirical attack on American consumerism and shallow materialistic values. Others merely see it as the greatest zombie fantasy of all time as the reawakened dead resume their cannibalistic stalking of the living. Cynical, devastating and relentless, director George A Romero's gruelling masterpiece about the American Dream turning into a terrifying nightmare is a brilliant blend of black comedy and hip, if harrowing, carnage. Not only has it spawned further tales of the dead from Romero, but this superb horror movie has also been remade by 300 director Zack Snyder and received an affectionate homage from the makers of Shaun of the Dead.
