"Ode to Dawn of the Dead"
George A. Romero discovered a universal truth: Zombies rock. What's not to love? Shambling, animated corpses with a taste for living flesh? Desperate survivors with trigger happy fingers decapitating said zombies with rusty machetes or well-aimed head shots? Zombies piling up like chords of wood? And the screaming!

It's like Christmas at the organ donor shop.

Romero's original "Dawn of the Dead" made in 1978 is a lot of things: horrifying, taboo-shattering, gory, and disturbing. It's also horror camp at its finest - skewering the mass consumer culture of the United States in our most shallow of decades: the 1970s.

Romero has a gleefully good time with his pack of survivors holed up in an indoor shopping mall. The slow-moving zombies that bang into the display cases or stumble up the escalators aren't so far removed from normal everyday mall shoppers - at least according to Romero.

Why do the zombies congregate at the mall? "Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives," one of the characters informs us.

Yeah, even dead we like buying stuff at the mall.

But one thing the Romero film is not? Scary.

That's one reason why we're also fans of the much maligned 2004 remake by director Zack Snyder. That's a sacrilege in many quarters, but for pure fright - Snyder tops Romero. That's the truth. Romero's low-budget wonder is a classic - no doubt. It can be uncomfortable to watch, but there is more dark humor than actual chills. Romero focused his film on his wicked wit: satire instead of terror.

Snyder isn't interested in delivering a sardonic message. He wants to scare you. And damn it if he doesn't. His zombies - like the times we live in - are fast. There's no shambling here - but straight out sprinting.

The gem of Snyder's movie is the opening 10 minutes. It may be the most frightening sequence of any horror movie made over the last 20 years. It has a disjointed, sour flavor as if the orange juice you drink every morning has been spiked with cyanide.

Sarah Polley plays a nurse named Ana. She's at the end of a difficult shift at the hospital. All she wants to do is go home. Traveling home over washed out streets in a bland suburban tract, she arrives home for "date night" with her husband. They make love in their messy, little bed in their messy, little house.

Then it all goes to hell.

The little girl next door wonders in and lo and behold the lower half of her face has been chewed off. She creeps into the bedroom and Ana's husband jumps up concerned. But before he can react, she takes a bite of flesh out of his neck.

Ana locks the little girl out of the bedroom and then has a grueling life and death struggle as her husband dies and then reanimates as a zombie. It's bone rattling violence and by the time Ana gets into her car - her neighborhood, her world is in chaos.

It's absolutely chilling.

While the overall Snyder's film doesn't quite live up to the original (and the characters make some ridiculous decisions - especially at the end), Snyder delivers a zombie movie that belongs on the list of greatest undead flicks ever made - with Romero's original and the superb "28 Days Later."

The two movies follow the same premise - but are very different movies. That's why you can enjoy them both: turn to Romero for the horrifying satire (you can often overlook the rather awkward acting) and then lean on Snyder for some in-your-face terror (and for using Johnny Cash's "Man Comes Around" as an opening number).

Either way -- it's a great two for one.

Like undead literate blather? Then plodded on over to the Dark Party Review.

"Dawn of the Dead"
I recived this dvd in two days I am very happy with my purchase
John.....

"If you love Blu-Ray and Zombies..."
... you will love this movie! Come on... it is Dawn of the Dead! Need I say more... I think not.

"Dawn of the Dead"
I doubt most of todays audience will appreciate this as much as those that saw it at the theater, but it still has a cult following for good reason. George A. Romero was the master at Zombie movies. Sure the makeup job on this could have been better but considering his budget for his B movies, he did remarkably well. This is one of my favorites with the shopping mall as their hideout from the dead. The remake is pretty good too, but you have to see this original to fully appreciate it. Good quality DVD with extras. If you enjoyed this catch "Day of the Dead".

"King Zombie"
Not only is DOTD the greasted Zombie film, ever, bar none, it may be one of the greatest horror films, and is good enough to stand up to other great films of ANY genre.

Modern day critics have blasted the '70's soundtrack, FX, and shambling, seemingly harmless Zombies. As to the '70's, it was made in the '70's, which was a seminal time for Horror. Those slow moving Zombies may seem harmless, but they are relentless-Let your guard down for a second, You're toast. I think Romero was deliberate in this, as in some scenes, after the Mall is secured, you forget all about them, yet they are still outside, mindlessly and patiently waiting for their chance to get back in. Fast moving Zombies will never have the same menace.

The script is a good one, with fine performances by it's four lead actors, but Ken Foree is the heart and soul of the film. The scene where he confronts Stephen (Flyboy) with a loaded weapon is simply brilliant, as is the nightmarish scene in the basement of the Tenement where he dispatches the undead.

The gore-Yes it shows it's age, but it's still painfully cringe-inducing.

The Humour-Bikers versus Zombies in a pie fight. Ludicrous, yet it cuts the unbelievably tense atsmophere, sort of like Craven did in "Last house on the Left". A welcome respite.

Overall, very strong writing, direction, and acting. The relationships the protagonist develop are quite believable and complex, and when two of them meet their demise, it is very emotional.

An incredible classic, depressing, funny, tense, and thought provoking film. Totally worth the price.

What our customer's say!

"Blood and Guts", George A. Romero's original "Dawn of the Dead" is as haunting and creepy as the remake. Despite its low budget, there are tons of blood and gore and violence all around. There's some black humor, also. The actors are believable as their characters are memorable. The zombies (not as fast as the ones in the remake) are just downright scary; the blood and guts are not for squeamish. Truly a must-see for all zombie lovers from all across the globe.

Movie: A-
DVD: C+
I should've seen the Ultimate Edition rather than the Divimax. But oh, well.

"3.5 stars out of 4", The Bottom Line:

Zombie-czar George A Romero delivers one of the best all-around horror movies ever made in Dawn of the Dead, a film which combines solid characterization, skillful direction, and sly social commentary with exploding heads, severed arms, and buckets of blood.

"Best Zombie Movie ever",
This Movie looks so Great On Blu-ray Its nice to see My Fav. Movie of all time be on Hi-Def. For anyone who Hasn't seen this I would forsure pick this one up. The best Zombie Film ever made.

When I first seen this movie I feel in Love with it. Its the best Zombie movie ever made so far. You can't beat or mess with any of George A. Romero Classic Zombie Films. Since he opened the door for so many Other Zombie movies, games and comic books out there. If it wasn't for Dawn Of The Dead, Zombie Movies wouldn't be any good at all.

"One of the best Zombie movies ever", My favorite Zombie movie. The best way to see this is unrated and uncut. Not for the faint at heart or those easily grossed out. Lots of blood,and exposed intestines. Ken Foree was great in this. He is one of 4 survivors trapped in a mall with zombies. They fly to the mall after a drug bust in an apartment where zombies are on the loose. They escape via chopper to a mall. The mall is filled with zombies. Tom Savini leads a gang of bikers who want the mall for themselves and go after Ken & co. (all GREAT performances) and you actually feel bad for the zombies who are getting attacked by Savini & his bikers. Cool twists, cool flick,great acting, & SPFX the best Zombie film if you ask me. The best version of this on DVD is the ultimate edition from Anchor Bay which has 3 versions of the movie(including Dario Argento's version)..

"EDDY DEMAYO HIHGLY RECOMMENDS THIS FLICK!", TAKE IT FROM EDDY DEMAYO, KING OF THE ZOMBIE MOVIES, DAWN OF THE DEAD IS PERFECT! A GEORGE ROMERO CLASSIC! NOT TO BE MISSED! CLASSIC CULT FILM!

"This film is held in regards as the zombie "Bible" by most avid zombie fans, and rightfully so.", Taking the concept of NOTLD one step further. I would consider this one of the most important film of the 70's.

I'm not sure when this film was premiered in 1979, that the world was ready for such a thing. The Violence(allthough it looks horribly fake by todays standards) was extremely graphic. The atmosphere throughout the movie is open, but confined at the same time.

This film is held in regards as the zombie "Bible" by most avid zombie fans, and rightfully so.

This particular version of the movie, while a little more expensive, is the way to go, with different versions of the movie, and the DOTD graphic novel, you cant beat it with a stick.

9/10

"human satire at it's finest. at its bloody finest, that is.", i have watched this romp of a movie at least 100 times. this is romeros masterpiece.the thing that gets me is how above average the acting is. not oscar calliber of course. but for the genre, very very good. romeros style in editing is also unique. is cut and paste style works well with the anxiety of the film. the opening in the news room with the blood red carpeted walls, is definitly a forshadowing of the violence to come. imediatly your swept into the struggle for sanity as everyone in the news room is confused and filled with anxiety with what is happenning. and people struggling to comprehend there role in all of this, the basic survival insticts are taking over[just like the zombies instinct to feed and stay ,alive? well, dead alive anyway.and our 2 heroes in military garb. one black and one white and one tall and one short spring on the seen in a apartment buiding slum full of alive and dead people. this is where you either check out, or say holy crap. this is going to be one for the ages.the nutjob coligue spews racial profanity lookin to kill all the dead and alive he can. he kicks open the door and boom there goes a head exploding. brain matter every where. then here comes the african american zombie , to unite with his wife or girfriend, she embrasses him as he bites a 3 inch hunk of flesh of of her coller bone area then bites a hunk of her arm, with blood spewing out.[the blood is a cartoonish bright red color enhancing the comic book effect], if you havent lost your lunch by now things calm down as the 2 hereos join up with the newsroom man and woman.for a helicopter ride to the monroeville mall.this was the first 20 minutes, the rest of the movie is basically an action adventure film. on the way to the mall you get the requisit hillbilly rednecks [complete with hippy folk music] having a blast playing target practice with the walking dead [i love this segment, this is a rehash of a similar scene from 1968's night of the diving dead. then a pit stop at the small local airport where another zombie , we'll call frankenstein zombie,smeaks up on our little white guy but of course the helicopter blade chops off the top of his head.nice touch from special effects master tom savini. to round this out, basically the adventure in the mall is the meat and potatos of the movie, this is where the social satire is most effective, aren't we all a lot like those zombies when were at the mall. take a good look next time your at the mall. one of my favorite scenes is when the biker gang is rampaging the mall, and there at jc pennie i assume ,and one biker dude picks up a tv , and the another biker dude says hey man, what the hell you gonna watch on that. he then throws it down and drives a sledge hammer through the picture screen,[another satirical comment from romero about television]the grand finally of the movie is a gory good time.total mayhem with only 2 of our 4 escaping to live another day. i love this movie . now i know this isnt the godfather or raging bull, but it is an enertaining rollercoaster ride of movie, and this divi max dvd is killer , perfect picture and great dts sound ,and the commentary with romero ,his wife cris and efects guy ,tom svaini is also worth repeated listens, what i would have given to be one of those zombies, they were paid hardly anything,only free meals and the right to say they were part of one of the greatest cult classics ever made.how much fun ,did they have. no dvd collection is complete without it. remember if your squemish you will have to suffer the first 20 minutes and the last 10 minutes. but when you think about it ,the gore on csi isnt much better.

"Horror and splatter at its finest!", This is a very entertaining movie off the bat. But the ultimate edition has different versions with bonus footage! It is definitely "icing on the cake" as they say. So with the bargain you're getting here at Amazon, do yourself a favor and pick this up today!

"Quality", First off, this is not, I repeat: NOT the extended cut of the film. Why? i don't know. Possibly to steal more money from us later on.

But none the less, it's quality. Great HD picture and fantastic sound.

"Finest Zombie Movie So Far, Ultimate Edition Indeed!!!", - Sure 'Night Of The Living Dead (1968)' Started It All, and its a close second to be the greatest.

- Sure 'Dawn Of The Dead (2004) Remake' is a good action-packed film, I can't deny that, probably the best (and only) good Horror Film remake of this time out there.

- Sure 'Shawn Of The Dead (2004)' is funny as hell, maybe the most clever horror comedy since "Return OF The Living Dead"

- But more than sure 'Dawn Of The Dead (1978)' Is the best zombie movie so far, as a fan of the outtathagravewalkingcorpes flicks, having seen most of them, and owning all the above mentioned, there's no argue George A. Romero was at is peak here: Clever setting, interesting characters, cool effects (for the time, of course), and what it's most pretentios but yet so awesome: intelligent and believable plot that works both as an slowpaced action gory film and a criticism on society consumist and violence nature set in the apocalypse.

PROS: Anchor Bay has done an excellent job giving the movie what it deserves: Excelent package, 2 full lenght documentaries (you won't need anything else), interesting commentary tracks, a printed comicbook preview, all the versions of the film with audio variations including original mono, and some other minor but good extras for completist such as posters, trailer, on-screens promo material & bios, etc.

CONS: The only flaw I can see here is the lack of subtitle tracks, not only in languages such as spanish, french among others, but even not an english track is a great miss.

VEREDICT: If you are or want to become a Zombie movie fan (or Horror fan) you shouldn't live without this set, it's the best version you'll ever get, and if they happen to release a new one, I don't know what the h-ell could it include not represented in this set.
