Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Undoubtedly the zombie movie to end 'em all, Dawn of the Dead starts roughly where Night of the Living Dead ended, and then proceeds to build mercilessly on its vision of a USA engulfed and decimated by murderous flesh-eating corpses. The horror/suspense content is brilliant enough to satisfy the most demanding fan, and the film uses superb locations like a huge shopping mall to further its Bosch-like vision of a society consumed by its own appetites. But take no munchies.
