ZoeMovieReviews: Dawn of the Dead (1978)


Dawn of the Dead (1978)




 This is also known globally as Zombi. This is a 1978 horror film written and directed by George A. Romero. It was the second film made in Romero's Living Dead series. The cast features David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger and Gaylen Ross.

 

The Plot

Following an ever-growing rampant of zombies that have risen from the dead, two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. team members, traffic reporter and his television management girlfriend seek retreat in a secluded shopping mall.

 

I really liked this film. I thought the whole concept of zombies being in a shopping mall was great. I enjoyed it a lot some moments in the film made me laugh a bit.

 

The zombies looked quite good in this film. The gore in this film was really good. I do prefer day of the dead to this, but Dawn of the Dead is my second favourite in the George A. Romero’s Living Dead series.

 

The acting of the zombies and the normal people in this film was really good. The score to this film I liked and it did suit the atmosphere of the film.

There are many great scenes in this film. All of the scenes when the zombies are in the shopping mall was great. I thought it was really cool. The scene when the normal people in this film were just helping themselves to stuff in the shopping mall I thought was brilliant. The scenes when the guys were shooting the zombies in the mall was really great!

 

The ending to this film was really good. I liked the ending a lot. I won’t tell you what happens in the end because I don’t like giving away too much spoilers to people who haven’t seen the film yet.




I do really enjoy the original Living Dead series. They are all unique and good in their own way. I think everyone should see all these films at least once in their life. They are all good zombie horror films.

 

 In my honest opinion my favourite one out of the three is Day of the Dead.

 

Overall, I thought this film was great. The zombies acted well and the normal people in this film did as well. The score was great. This is a fun gory zombie horror film! I highly recommend you see all of the original Living Dead series. (All of the three films are reviewed on here).  

Rating:8/10

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead   This films name in Norwegian is Død Snø 2 .   This is a 2014 Norwegian-Icelandic horror comedy film directed by Tommy Wirkola. It is a sequel to the 2009 film Dead Snow .   The Plot Martin woke up in a hospital bed with a new arm - but it's a super-powered Zombie arm that wants to kill him, and anyone else it can reach. Martin's PISSED, but with the help of his new Zombie Squad chums he's going to deliver some payback to Colonel Herzog and his precious Nazi gold - by raising an undead army of his own.   This film is so great!! I have seen the first one which I thought was brilliant. It is probably best for anyone who’s interested in this film that they should watch Dead Snow (D ød Snø) as well. Although, the first few scenes of the film is that it’s reminding you some of things that happened in the first film. That I liked, as it gave me an idea of what happened from the first film as I only watc...

It is based on the Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. This is the 28 th Disney classic.   The Plot   A mermaid princess makes a Faustian bargain with a devious sea-witch in order to meet a human prince on land.   I loved this film so much and probably because it is a Disney film.   The animation is this film was really good. The score is very good as well. My favourite song from it was Under The Sea!   The story telling to this film is great! I liked how in some scenes the characters show actual emotion when they are sad or happy. I liked the characters apart from Ursula of course.
