In 1968, director George A. Romero brought us “Night Of The Living Dead.” It became the definitive horror film of its time. Eleven years later, he would unleash the most shocking motion picture experience for all times. As modern society is consumed by zombie carnage, four desperate survivors barricade themselves inside a shopping mall to battle the flesh-eating hordes of the undead. This is the ferocious horror classic, featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini, that remains one of the most important and most controversial horror films in history.
George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead could very well be the greatest horror movie ever made. So when I heard that Anchor Bay was giving this baby a Hi-Def treatment on Blu-Ray this was the first movie I bought for my Playstation 3. I am a child of the late 70’s and the 80’s. I grew up watching Dawn of the Dead. Most of you out there most likely have never even seen this gem of a horror flick. You might have seen the mediocre Dawn of the Dead Remake. Trust me, forget all about that cheesy flick. This is the real deal. George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead is the definitive zombie flick. Even with the fact that next year will be Dawn of the Dead’s 30th Anniversary (do I smell a 30th Anniversary Dawn of the Dead Blu-Ray disc in the near future?)
