Dawn Of The Dead
Print this page
As a blend of horror, action, tension, and humour, Dawn Of The Dead stands in a class of its own.
The Dead are now on the rampage. As they tear into the flesh of the living, they bring a deadly disease that spreads terrifyingly fast. Society quickly begins to collapse and a group of four people escape in a helicopter, landing at a massive abandoned shopping mall. Their intention is to get supplies, but they soon realise that they now have access to a palace of everything that they could ever want.
As in Night Of The Living Dead, their refuge becomes the centre of a siege; this time on a far grander scale, with zombies and marauding bikers desperate to get in. The adventurous tone of the film descends rapidly into a tense and bleak struggle for the last remnants of western civilisation, and life itself. As in Night, the outcome is unpredictable and the tension near unbearable in what is often a darkly humorous nightmare.
