Argueably the greatest zombie movie ever made. Romero went above and beyond on this film. The gore is intense and the mindless zombies are great. i could go on forever on this movie, but I'm going to make it short and sweet. Buy it!!!!!!!!!!! You must own this movie, it is essential to every horror buffs collection...you won't be sorry!!! I give this movie 5 blood buckets!!!!!!!!!!! |

This is the movie that hooked me to horror movies, Its basicly the standard by which i judge all zombie movies to. In fact truth be told the originol concept behind this website was to pay tribute to Dawn of the Dead. awsome movie, buy it, study it, you may not want to worship it but you just might. The practical effects by Savini are ground breaking and gorey. if i could give this movie 10 blood buckets i would, some how giving it 5 dosnt seem just but since thats the max ill settle with 5 blood buckets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
