Pros: Fantastic, socially conscious story... Cons: Maybe a *bit* corny...
“When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth.” This quote from main character and former Philadelphia SWAT team member Peter Washington (Ken Foree) is the best summarization of George Romero’s classic Dawn of ...
Pros: Nice Direction, Buckets Of Blood Cons: Chalky Blue Faced Zombies
When There's No More Room In HELL, The Dead Will Walk The EARTH
How many horror fans can easily forget that emotion stirring tagline from George A. Romero's definitive classic Dawn of The Dead? Dawn of The Dead is often thought...
Pros: Socio-Political satire and gore by the veritable bucketload. Cons: Long, drawn out stretches may test some viewers.
Zombie fans haven’t had much to celebrate of late; after a deluge of unimaginative direct-to-video pap and the huge letdown of the promising but immensely disappointing Resident Evil, a further mainstream visit from the un-dead would seem positively...
Pros: A funny, intense, gory little B-movie that utilizes Romero's knack for splatter and satire. Cons: The acting is often minimalist and the satire hasn't aged that well.
First off is some news about the Romero zombie trilogy that might make you happy or it might depress you to tears. First off is that Romero's fourth supposed installment in the series, "Land of the Dead," is finally set to come out sometime in 2005, as ...
Pros: depiction of gore Cons: really no social message to discern
Prolog:
I tossed and turned in my bed in the heat of a July night, fitfully asleep. We had no air conditioner, so the lone window in the small bedroom was thrown open wide, and the fan was going full blast, but neither offered much...
Pros: Social satire, biblical allusions, tongue-in-cheek humour. Cons: Extreme gore.
The first time I saw George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Dead", the first thing I noticed was how graphically violent it was. Having enjoyed his previous zombie epic, "Night of the Living Dead", I thought I was prepared for the sequel. Boy was I wrong. ...
Pros: Tense action, good realistic character interaction, Tom Savini's FX Cons: Repetitious, maybe? Do you get tired of splattered brains?
In a film whose primary conflict is an epidemic of zombies, it's rather remarkable that the primary strength of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead is that most of the tension comes from people interacting with other people. The zombies merely cut...
Pros: story, pace, zombies, gore Cons: pedestrian acting, dated effects and makeup, overt social messages
George A. Romero is the father of the modern zombie movie. His Night of the Living Dead, a black-and-white film made on a shoestring budget by Romero and his friends in Western Pennsylvania, was released to an unsuspecting nation in 1968 and went on to ...
Pros: One of the best Zombie flicks of all time. Cons: A movie like this spawns many bad copies.
Funny note before I start my review on the classic "Dawn of the Dead", I actually saw the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" before I saw the original. Now that I've seen both I can honestly say that any horror movie fan that wants to see these movies will be ...
Pros: The gun/pie/seltzer water fight scene between the Hell's Angels and the zombies. Cons: To really enjoy this movie, you almost have to have lived in Pennsylvania.
Hearing gunfire coming from the TV screen, my mother tried to lean around the corner of the kitchen. Recognizing the green hills of Pennsylvania, she then asked me, "What war is this?" to confirm her suspicion that I had rented "Gettysburg." Doing my...
Pros: The storyline, the zombies, and the action Cons: Overdramatic performances, slow score, cheesy special effects, and zombies as backdrop of story
Playing in the teaser trailer for the 2004 remake of "Dawn of the Dead" is a song emphasizing "It's a Wonderful Life". There are shots of people in a shopping mall enjoying, what appears to be the good life, till a quick cut to a full scale disaster. ...
Pros: Well-done stunt and effects work, well-thought-out plot and dialogue, and well-developed characters. Cons: The blood is a little too red, and the zombies are a little too blue. If this is a tip of the hat to patriotism, they're REALLY going about it the wrong way...
Sometimes I wonder how in zombie movies some people take days to finally turn into a zombie after being just barely bitten, while others turn into one immediately after getting nipped. Nonetheless, I must say that I have found another favorite movie in...
Pros: Classic Zombie Flick, satirical social commentary, fun to watch Cons: minor
I think the best review of this movie is by Mike Bracken as he sums up my feelings about Dawn of the Dead so well that I won't have to be as thorough in my review. Rather, I offer a shallow, simple list of why I like this movie.
