Possibly one of the greatest films of the 70's. Romero's pseudo-sequel to 'Night Of The Living Dead', places its heroes in a world overrun by flesh-eating Zombies.
After securing an apartment building overcome with flesh-eating zombies, two Philadelphia area SWAT team members, Peter and Roger, flee to a television station, where they escape in the station's helicopter with Francine and Stephen - two station employees. Seeking refuge from the zombies and the ensuing hysteria, they land on the roof of a Pittsburgh area shopping mall, despite the fact that the undead seem to be flocking there... What begins as a stop for supplies becomes a longer stay as the four become embroiled in a futile war within the mall to consume retail goods and remain alive. The only difference between them and the zombies, is that they aren't dead...

Released in 78' this film still kicks ass now. It has many undertones and on the surface is a plain zombie flick but delve deeper and hidden meanings become clear America's paranoia and consumerist issues anyone? This was Romero at his brilliant best let's just forget Diary ever happened a George!
The opening of Dawn Of The Dead is simply terrifying. Inside a T.V. station we hear fragments of news of the growing zombie epidemic but are never shown what they are reporting. Instead we see the collapse and panic of the reporters and crew as they struggle to comprehend the incomprehensible.
Romero's film simultaneously evokes the fall of Saigon-helicopters evacuating the last Americans from the U.S. embassy, the shocking urban decay of the seventies and its effect on their poor ethnic populations, and the growth of rabid consumerism in the West.
Dawn in places seems lighter in tone than Night Of The Living Dead but the message and final outcome remain the same; one of doom for all of us.
