Best Zombie Movie of All-Time

It took me a long time to catch this movie. I am a huge Zombie movie fan, and this has become my favorite. This movie was perfect. It was excellent in delivering powerful underlying themes throughout the movie. Some of my favorites expressed in the movie were how we have been conditioned to stuff to where we cannot let go of frivolous things, even in the face of destruction. Consumerism and politics were still playing a part in the word even at the cliff of doom. I also found it interesting that the main characters saw themselves as something greater than looters when they talked about other people heading to the mall.

Dawn of the Dead (1979) review

The deceased human beings transform into flesh-eating zombies. Its epidemic is unknown and it has spread around the country.

Screenplay was good with quotes: Old priest – “When the dead walk, señores, we must stop the killing... or lose the war.” Stephen – “Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what they used to do. This was an important place in ...

"Dawn Of The Dead" by Yojimbo

A disparate group of survivors from a zombie holocaust hole up in an abandoned shopping mall that becomes beseiged by an ever-increasing horde of the dead. The performances may not be of the highest calibre and dated as some of the effects may be, Dawn Of The Dead is still THE zombie movie. Romero's zombies are of the "true" kind in that their mindless shuffling gait reminds us of own own mortality and the inevitability of our own demise and eventual decay as well as the animal instinct within we try so hard to mask with a civilisation that so quickly crumbles into chaos. It may not have the visceral impact of Night Of The Living Dead, but the sly social commentary on consumerism and greed combined with humour and observations on the human condition makes for one of the most influential h...
