	Dawn of the Dead (1978 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dawn of the Dead, also known as Zombi (the sequel to George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, followed by Day of the Dead and the recent Land of the Dead) is a prominent zombie horror film, which contributed to the rise of the so-called "splatter craze" in horror films.
		Dawn of the Dead received much critical acclaim for, among other things, the subtext involving American consumerism and materialism, as well as comments on news media and racism.
		Dawn of the Dead was a prime example of this — evidenced by the innumerable international cuts, and in some cases, their distinct differences in tone and flow.

	Dawn of the Dead (2004 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dawn of the Dead is a loose remake, or "reimagining", of George A. Romero's 1978 film.
		The mall scenes of the film as well as the rooftop scenes were shot in the Thornhill Square mall in Thornhill, Ontario and the rest of the scenes were shot in the Aileen-Willowbrook Neighbourhood of Thornhill, Ontario.
		In the UK, both this film and Shaun of the Dead were originally scheduled to be released the same week, but due to the similarity in the names of the two films, UIP opted to push back Shaun's release by two weeks.

	Dawn of the Dead (1978)
		Although Night of the Living Dead is arguably the greatest American horror film ever, it is Dawn of the Dead that is considered to be George Romero's fan favorite masterpiece and the film that took zombie horror to the extreme next level.
		Dawn of the Dead explores the end of mankind, being destroyed by mankind physically represented by zombies.
		It's an intense film that explores the dark human nature, often at a slower pace than most modern horror films but still if you stay with the films pace and enjoy the character's struggle, you find that this is a ground breaking zombie film, that doesn't need a happy ending.

	Dawn of the Dead (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Filmed for the most part in a Monroeville, Pennsylvania indoor mall, its most indelible scenes are of the pasty-skinned, nattily dressed undead blundering idiotically up and down escalators and past brightly lit storefronts while muzak plays soothingly over the shopping center intercom.
		Sarah Polley is Ana, a tired nurse at the end of her shift at the hospital, dealing with a self-absorbed physician, bantering with a friend, heading home with relief to an affectionate husband and an evening of TV and lovemaking.
		The end of normal life and the real beginning of this film comes when Ana and her husband awaken to the realization that someone is standing in the doorway of their darkened bedroom.

	Classic-Horror Review of Dawn of the Dead (1978)
		Dawn of the Dead is a very colorful film, and the Divimax transfer brings it out in style.
		They discuss the film itself at the beginning mostly, but as the track progresses, they start wandering off to other topics, like the fame of the film and the possibility of a fourth Dead movie (this track was recorded before Land of the Dead was announced).
		On films with a commentary track, captioning is almost mandatory, as it can be difficult to follow the film being discussed otherwise.

	notcoming.com \| Dawn of the Dead (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Night of the Living Dead is a typical — though effective — low budget effort with moments of poignancy and terror; Dawn of the Dead is an ambitious social commentary that may be deservingly compared to Taxi Driver.
		In narrative, Dawn of the Dead is an extension of the acts depicted in Night of the Living Dead.
		In addition to the cuts included on this set, Dawn of the Dead has been available on bootlegs of varying length, the most notable of which is a “complete” cut which includes all available footage from existent cuts, which are, again, numerous, due to the results censors have imposed on the film in different countries.

	BBC - Films - review - Dawn of the Dead (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Films with zombies are almost always consigned immediately to a dustbin of cult appreciation, with any serious critical appraisal a rarity.
		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.

		Dawn of the Dead's plot is so effectively simple, and now thoroughly familiar, that it almost goes without description.
		The film is actually so violent and gruesome that it was released unrated in the United States for fear of being slapped with an X Rating.
		Dawn of the Dead is a truly stunning example of the horror genre's ability to produce works that are as socially relevant as they are terrifying, films which break free of the constraints of conventional horror movie elements and in doing so establish themselves as being truly timeless.

	DVD Review: Dawn of the Dead (1978) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Dawn of the Dead is so pervasive in American culture, that the ideas and ways that it presents those ideas now seem almost cliché.
		Like its predecessor, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead was revolutionary in the way that it presented gore, laughs, and social commentary all in one big package.
		Dawn of the Dead brilliantly presents this passage of time, like travelers on a space ship.

	DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) - DIVIMAX DVD
		The common reading of 1978's Dawn of the Dead has it as a satire of this consumerist wonderland, with its zombies wandering around a new-for-the-time shopping centre, and indeed, writer-director George A. Romero is prescient for his discomfort with the burgeoning phenomena of shopping malls.
		Overlong and underfed, Dawn of the Dead's place in the canon seems assured by dint of it being a film in a disreputable genre that wallows in its grue while presenting a few clear satirical jabs at broad targets.
		The film has also been equipped with a 5.1 remix in DTS and Dolby Digital flavours; though the rear channels are used sparingly (if logically), a lack of atmospherics seems right in keeping with Dawn of the Dead's sterile sets and, frankly, its lack of tension and fear.

	UHM - Review - Dawn of the Dead
		When first word on a possible remake of the classic 1978 George Romero film Dawn of the Dead was mentioned, a lot of people shunned the idea and thought it ridiculous.
		Instead, in this film there are a bunch of short scenes that involved it, and then fast-forwards by showinh scene after scene of time going by and the survivors coping with the situation and learning to live in their environment.
		The original Romero film still kicks this remake in the balls, but it holds its own in terms of a zombie flick and that's all that really matters.

	Dawn of the Dead Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		Shot in color and with a larger budget, "Dawn of the Dead" is an action-packed entry that further builds on the mythos established in "Night of the Living Dead".
		The tone of film, which had been one of constant dread throughout the first act and the beginning of the second act, becomes noticeably lighter, which further diminishes the sense of urgency in the story.
		In addition, having been filmed in color, the make-up of the film's zombies are a lot more obvious than in the fl-and-white "Night of the Living Dead", making "Dawn of the Dead" appear almost farcical in some spots.

	Dawn of the Dead (2004)
		Films pertaining to tales of the undead, of zombies that rise from their graves and walk the earth looking for more victims has always been a little niche in the larger horror genre.
		Because the originals are so, well, original, I prefer to treat the new version of Dawn of the Dead on its own merits rather than constantly comparing it to the original.
		This film focuses more of the disease that results in the zombies, a reflection of the fears we now have of bio-terrorism, Aids, West Nile, SARS and a plethora of other transmittable diseases.

	Dawn of the Dead (2004): Reviews
		Dawn of the Dead may depict the end of the world as we know it, but rarely has watching doom proved such a kick.
		Snyder’s film isn't likely to be considered a classic 20 years down the road like Romero's film is, but it's a winningly extreme episode in the ongoing adventures of Zombie and Harriet.
		It is, like most, an unnecessary remake, but the new, digitally boosted Dawn of the Dead brings it on with a 10-minute overture that might be the most upsetting tin-can apocalypse modern movies have ever seen.

		The first film before 1978's 'Dawn of the Dead' (DOTD) was 'Night of the Living Dead' (NOTLD).
		However, where the film separates itself from every other action film and horror film out there is its clever subtext that reflects society at the time the film was made.

		Trivia: An extra on the DVD release for this film, "We interrupt this program", a fake newscast depicting the start and spread of the zombie infection, contains some characters whose dialog consists of lines from the original Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Night of the Living Dead (1968).
		My attention was held for the better part of two hours; the story was interesting; the outcome ambivalent; the characters arisen to the task at hand, becoming coldly rational to the divisions between life and death and zombiedom; the music weirdly appropriate; the fl humor welcome respite.
		No, Dawn of the Dead isn't Citizen Kane nor is it a sacrilegious assault on the horror genre.

	Review: Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed and Dawn of the Dead
		Now Gunn is MTV (and Cartoon Network) with his re-imagining of Dawn of the Dead, a movie more for afternoon mall rat multiplex audiences than midnight cult screenings.
		I wouldn’t say to go out and see that movie any more than this one but at least it is about something, albeit a sappy sitcomish something involving friendship and being yourself, but as cynical as critics might be towards such ‘messages’, they still aren’t such a bad thing to teach the children.
		Dawn of the Dead plainly did none of these things for me.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Dawn of the Dead (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This 2004 remake of the original “Dawn of the Dead” movie is solid with good production values, good acting and a compelling story.
		I can't really compare it to the original 1978 film, since I don't recall seeing it, but I have seen lots of other zombie movies, including George Romero's original, “Night of the Living Dead” and the English comedy Shaun of the Dead.
		This film, like most others in this sub-genre, makes no attempt to explain why the dead have arisen to eat the flesh of the living, except to say that maybe Hell is overflowing.

	Dawn of the Dead
		I was among the legions of fans who decried the very thought of remaking Dawn of the Dead, and I still hate the idea (couldn't this just have been another zombie movie, kind of like Deep Blue Sea was another shark flick?).
		The premise is similar to the 1978 film.
		The human characters weren't as likable as the humans in Romero's film, though Sarah Polley was really nice, and I dig Ving Rhames.

		I was pretty damn annoyed when I heard George Romero's classic zombie film 'Dawn of the Dead' was going to remade - and that the remake would be written by the guy who wrote Scooby Doo.
		It doesn't really draw upon Romero's film - apart from the title of the movie, the only similarity is that the survivors in both films hole up in a mall.
		A situation that is made clear within the first few minutes of the film when the lead character finds her boyfriend bitten by one of the dead and has to flee for her life.

		First-time director Zack Snyder remakes zombie master George A. Romero's classic 1978 gore-fest DAWN OF THE DEAD, wisely replicating only the basic elements of Romero's movie, instead sticking to his own vision of a world overrun by undead flesh-eating creatures.
		Dawn of the Dead works and it delivers just about what you expect when you buy your ticket.
		“Dawn of the Dead” is a fast paced actioner that will please the fans of Romero’s work and attract a whole new gang of gore hounds
