"While most of the visual surprises are best left to be experienced first-hand, know that Dawn 3-D has more than a few moments that had our crowded theater gasping in unison." - Morbidly Beautiful


"George Romero presented viewers with an overt, self-conscious political allegory, in which acquisition, greed and the shallowness of the consumer society were relentlessly attacked and lampooned." - Stephen Thrower, Nightmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents


"One of the best and brilliantly crafted horror films ever made." - Roger Ebert


"Devastatingly brutal." - Entertainment Weekly


"Romero’s Living Dead sequel rates as a horror-movie masterpiece, the Gone With the Wind of gore." - The Phantom of the Movies


"The parody elements in Night of the Living Dead were exaggerated in Romero’s 1978 Dawn of the Dead, a film which is more an expanded color remake of the earlier movie than a sequel to it." - J. Hoberman & Jonathan Rosenbaun, Midnight Movies

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.  

When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth.
