Still the greatest zombie movie ever made. We miss you George

Night Of the living dead, Dawn of the dead, Day of the dead and Land of the dead great zombie movies

The actual term is derived from actual living people going into a non conscious state. Not dead people so yeah. More of a zombie movie than ones you think are lol

[@AlternityGM]

Dawn of the Dead is one of favorite horror movies of all time. R.I.P. George Romero 1940-2017

[@bchick7598]

It was quite exceptional wasn't it? I loved it, I would say change my life in a way it's hard to say how but it was my friend for a long time when I was younger when I didn't have any friends if that makes any sense to anybody. It was a special film. It is a special film. There's never been anything like it I don't think they'll ever will be again. It's the relationships that made it such a freaking classic I think one of the Stars said that it's the Dynamics between the people that made it into the depth field movie that we love today. Without the quirkiness and the incredible frailties and flaws in the main characters being majored on as well some of the strengths, it would have been just another splattery movie but Romero doesn't make movies like that. He doesn't make him without depth without character without flushing out if you pardon my Dawn of the Dead pun, I know it wasn't too funny but I try.

[@georgeedward1691]

If you liked Dawn of the dead then you'd love "THEM" 1954 great horror flick for it's day. Still one of my favorites. Invasion of the body snatchers 1956 is another good one you will definitely like.

[@josephmanfredi5389]

I remember first watching 6he news about the 3-Mile Island nuclear reactor meltdown, the overthrowing of the Shah of Iran, learning the true extent of the cold War, AND first seeing Dawn of The Dead in the theater late at night as a teenager....ALL in the same month in early '79!!

I saw dawn Of The Dead in 1980 on 42nd Street in NY, I was 14 years old I was tagging along with 3 of my older cousins who were really street savy and I wanted so bad to be like them so they said "Ok man you think your tough? We gonna take you with us to hang out" so we went to the movies and I was scared to death for the whole film and when the part came when they tore open the guys chest I pissed my pants LOL! My cousins still joke about it today! For me Dawn Of The Dead was my intro to many other great Horror Movie's I would see but Dawn Of The Dead helped me to be prepared for what ever happens and I never was really scared seeing Horror Movies again. Thank you George Romero for making an awesome cult classic that sent hot piss all over my pants LOL your the best man!

[@RanOutdoors]

Very nice, I remember watching it for the first time in the early morning in the living room with my older brothers. The volume down low so as not to wake my mom. It wasn't the first horror film I'd watched but god did it fill me with dread. The part where Foree mans up and decides not to go gently into that good night I think I cried a little.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I thought that was just an expression. People really piss themselves?

[@raymondknight5298]

On my first sleepover at my best friends house, I was about to start 6th grade a few days later my friends dad who was a cool dude, a green beret in Vietnam put the movie on, after I had to go home, I was horrified and my dad was pissed and wouldnt come get me and I had to walk a mile in the dark home. I didnt sleep that night, spent most of it peering through my blinds looking for zombies that were surely coming.

[@nikolademitri731]

[@angryfrigginliberalinpenns1314]

Dawn of the Dead is the Masterpiece of the Zombie Apocalypse films.

[@M139NG]

Dario Argento inviting you to Rome for a "change in scenery" to "help with the writing" sounds suspiciously like the start of every Giallo ever. The next thing that happens would be you witnessing a murder and/or get entangled in murder plot. Followed by interrogation by Italian police who also confiscates your passport. Then all hell breaks loose

[@DamienDrake]

That's hilariously accurate.

[@Valkonnen]

Something weird DID happen while he was there, but not that. He was out to dinner in Rome, and this ten year old boy comes up to him, and asks if he is George Romero. The boy explains that he lives in Pittsburgh and asks if someday HE might be able to work in films. He told the kid to stay in school and that someday he could if he really wanted to. Years later he was hired by George as an assistant to Tom Savini on the film "Day of the Dead". There on the set, he met friends that he would later form his own company with. The Boy was Greg Nicotero, and he's responsible for the greatest and most realistic zombies ever created for both "Land of the Dead" and "The Walking Dead" which he also produces and directs many episodes. It goes to show you that a desire, along with being in the right place at the right time can actually make a dream come true.

[@scottnapier943]

I was 11 years old today that i still remember the scene where Roger turns into a zombie and comes up from the bed sheets, that scene was imprinted in my mind as my young mind was horrified, even though, i couldn't get enough of the movie.

It is a very powerful moment in the film and I too was scared by it when I first saw it in 80s

[@dawnofthewalkers4915]

Same here

[@raymondknight5298]

I love the extra long version , watch it in a slightly slower speed and youll see something or hear a line you never heard here and there, its a jewel as time goes on the backdrop scenes become more pronounced making the rewatch value endless.

[@caseyaddington2235]

It is so heartbreaking knowing the great George A. Romero isn’t with us anymore. I used to watch Dawn Of The Dead, the 1990 Tom Savini Night Of The Living Dead and Day Of The Dead as a young lad and get so excited to show my pals these movies. Even to this day I still watch them when I can’t figure out what to watch. Amazing movies, even more amazing dudes who made these movies. R.I.P. George A. Romero, you’ll be greatly missed.

A true legend

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

Day of the Dead was sense of dread whole movie. Dawn was more fun.

[@blakegoodson871]

Such a fantastic film I loved the ending too on the roof and finding out from behind the scenes the people that played the zombies where soo cold on the roof because of the helicopter blades blowing all that cold air but they couldn't give them coats for continuity purposes lol. Peter was the best written character I loved the actor to in glad he choose to live and not make it a depressing ending like Night of the Living Dead with all the main characters dieing. R.I.P. George Romero and thanks for giving us this cult classic movie.

[@jamesaitchison9478]

I did a movie breakdown of Dawn Of The Dead for my final exam for film studies in high school, i passed my exam...it helped that i'd watched DOTD loads of times and was a huge fan of Romero's original Dead trilogy. I love this movie, the greatest Zombie film ever made. Even with the lavish special effects of modern movies this film has never been bettered. George A Romero is the Zombie king...the Horror Genre wouldn't be the same without his groundbreaking films.

[@rhetteverette2406]

I was 7 or 8 and had already seen Night when I rented Dawn at my local library. My little brother and I got to watch the opening scene up until the headshot when my mom came in and abruptly turned it off. We waited a few weeks and checked it out again two kids tapes bookending a movie we just HAD TO SEE! Luckily we pulled it off this time and it became one of our favorite movies to this day. It’d be one of the first tapes that I would own as a 17 year old when I got the keys to the proverbial candy store and was free to buy my own flicks. I still own that double vhs and it’s a base for my dvd and Blu-ray releases to sit atop on my shelves dedicated to my favorite directors. R.I.P. George A. Romero one of the most influential filmmakers of all time

[@Theoverthinker81]

This is hands down the best zombie film, the look, feel, ambience, characters everything just works.

[@bullock4211]

The music at 1:26 always scared the shit out of me! It sounds so hopeless!

[@casebz]

Same here. The entire movie feels so isolating and claustrophobic. An atmosphere unlike anything I've experienced before or since.

[@bullock4211]

Case Zambelli Yes even though they were in a mall and had everything they needed at their finger tips. The movie never took away the fact that outside, the world would never be the same again! It was only a matter of time before the human mind would break down due to cabin fever and complete isolation

[@ItsStevieBoy]

It does! Really makes you feel like your alone in the middle of the zombie apocalypse with no hope.

My favorite thing about this film is seeing the 1970's again exactly how I remember it as a kid. Minus the zombies of course. I grew up in York, Pa and have family in Western, Pa in Somerset County. The stores in the mall. Look just like the stores did in my local mall. Just watching this movie bringd back memories.

[@Perfection-ME-01]

Dawn will never be surpassed as being the ultimate zombie movie it’s just that perfect. The fact that there’s three versions,the length of the extended cut makes it an epic experience. Dawn just keeps getting better and better with every year that passes and it’s absolutely incredible to look back and know that it didn’t get the respect it so obviously deserved when it was first released.

[@random_gamer_guy82]

Random fact, there is a shrine to George A romero in dying light 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼it was put in a week after his passing and is still there on the main map on the base game ,under a bridge.

The fact that they managed to have their own helicopter, an ENTIRE SHOPPING MALL to themselves, with all the goodies you could want, not to mention their own GUNSHOP in it! Lol, that was my idea of heaven XD Oh, and the big guy that falls into the fountain...he slaps his shins off the side edge, damn that must have hurt!? Respect!

My mother into another room, Leaving me in the room with a VCR. She told me not to press play. I knew how to work the VCR at the age. She said there is a scary movie in there. So me being 4, I thought i was brave. I hit play, Night Of The Living Dead came on. I was freaked up for years. I loved feeling my heart beating out of my chest.

Pete Walker the thing that pissed me off with the remake besides the running zombies. Was they find the cop and the nurse and say ‘we’re going to the mall’ then take two steps over a hill and there it is 😂😂 for plot convenience! Where here they stumble across it, see it’s value as a possible means of survival and also scope out the place to see how they can secure it etc. Dawn 1978 is a far superior film!

I'll never forget getting up after the first film and my body was shaking. I loved it! Then "Dawn" came on- and I saw my favorite movie of all time. Action/ Horror. The concept wasn't just new in those days. It was unthinkable. I dreamed about fighting zombies. I sometimes still do. But not nightmares. They can't be called that because they're too much fun.

I was 15 when I saw this at the Schuyler Drive-in in upstate NY. I threw up when they ripped the guy apart and ate his innards while he was still alive. It took until the release of The Walking Dead for me to get over my paranoia about zombies because of that.

I love this retrospective its on the big 4 pack ultimate edition of dawn of the dead 1978 i own my most valued movie. I'm a total movie dork i love all types of movies from many decades although since i was born in 1977 from favorites are 70s 80s and 90s movies. Picking favorites is tough for me but i would say this is my favorite movie ever made i watch it a couple times a month and have been for 30 years I've seen it hundreds of times and still freaking love every frame of it. Romero zombie flicks are the best i could watch night of the living dead 1968, dawn of the dead 1978, day of the dead 1985, night of the living dead 1990, and land of the dead 2004 forever I've watched them hundreds of times and i will do hundreds more before I'm a zombie.
