It ranks way up there with the original Night of the Living Dead.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 10, 2025

Romero himself would return to the well several times with varying degrees of success, but Dawn remains his grand statement: hysterical and horrifying, punishingly relentless yet oddly comforting, endlessly inventive and so much damn fun.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 12, 2024

The film is gnarly, funny, poetic, free-associational, and ultimately irresolvable.

But what remains most of all is the message at its heart, Romero has something to say about the state of the world in 1978 where the US is all about buying, Romero is taking aim at mindless consumerism.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 4, 2024

In the final analysis, Dawn of the Dead exploits more than illuminates the bloodlust of our times. No technical proficiency, however cleverly utilized, can quite cover up the hole in its moral center.

There's still plenty of the low-budget charm that made the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead a classic, and there's also plenty of good old fashioned 1970s shock value and societal despair regarding post-Vietnam America.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 7, 2023

Dawn of the Dead is arguably Romero’s best zombie film, and its stark social satire (it takes place in a mall, where the excesses of capitalism help to sustain survivors of the zombie apocalypse) will wake you up figuratively if not literally.

DAWN OF THE DEAD is a movie for all time. A movie for OUR time. Though there are thousands of movies like it…there’s no movie quite like it. Does that make sense?

| Original Score: 4/4 | Dec 2, 2022

For blood, guts and chuckles, most horror fans will undoubtedly find Dawn of the Dead finger-lickin’ good.

| Oct 7, 2022

Romero has made a successful three-pronged attack on three major American obsessions — guns, gore and goodies — while making a classic horror film at the same time.

Even if one accepts the director’s premise that the earth is a toilet and hell the sewer underneath, Dawn of the Dead lacks the coherence necessary to achieve its purpose.

| May 18, 2022

Political and social satire rarely gets as dark as George A. Romero's films, where gags are outlined by living death and punctuated by sinewy, bloody gore.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 21, 2022

What delights me about Dawn of the Dead is that, over four decades later, the film still has genuine scares and gore...

| Dec 8, 2021

Arguably the greatest zombie film ever made.

| Nov 12, 2020

It runs like crazy through American life, through American movies, and now 온라인카지노추천, like a faucet left on.

| Sep 17, 2020

There's still a touch of anxiety, suspense, and a sense of isolation and unavoidable doom, but the zombie element no longer seems like the main focus.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 29, 2020

[One of] the crown jewels of an exceptionally strong career.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 8, 2020

In addition to satisfying the demands of fans of this genre, Dawn of the Dead offers a bitter reflection on the lack of human solidarity. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 5, 2019

Romero expands on the idea of a post-apocalyptic United States of America with plenty of smarts and classic zombie effects.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 3, 2019

. . . I recently watched Dawn of the Dead, and I'm happy to tell you, George Romero's film has still got it.
