60 of 404 · most liked firstit's really funny that, like, Dawn of the Dead (2004) is like, "oh yeah we're not your DADDY'S zombie movie" and has the political complexity of a cartoon, while the original Dawn of the Dead's cold open is a SWAT team ethnically cleansing downtown Pittsburg

I'll be honest, I'm positive in both but I think the '78 is a classic. What's your favorite flavor of zombie movie? #horrorsky #filmsky #nowwatching
neutral · AI labelView post →I enjoyed Anna and the Apocalypse for what it was trying to do: High School Musical meets Dawn of the Dead. The real strength here is how the film gut punches you with raw emotion that comes not from the music, but from the relationships. The characters are fully formed and well acted. 3.5 ⭐
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about how one of my favourite things to see in a film is a character coming up with a plan, and then executing that plan down to the minutiae of every step. IMO the perfect action / thriller version of this is THIEF and the perfect horror film version of this is DAWN OF THE DEAD '78.
neutral · AI labelView post →The first 11 minutes or so of Zach Snyder's DAWN OF THE DEAD is maybe the best zombie movie. Just like the trailer for MAN OF STEEL is the best Superman movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →What’s a “comfort” horror watch you don’t mind playing often? My most-viewed movie on Letterboxd? The OG Dawn of the Dead. Don't get it twisted. I dig Night of the Living Dead better & consider it to be Romero's true masterpiece, but that goes heavy & hard. For comfort/entertainment? Dawn, baby. 📽️

neutral · AI labelView post →☢️#70. Dawn of the Dead, 1978. A zombie film high-water mark from the director who started the genre. Social commentary that doesn’t get too preachy and zombies that don’t move too fast. Wonderful gags, gore, and whip-smart humor. Let’s go to the mall! #DawnoftheDead 4.5/5 ☢️

positive · AI labelView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of DAWN OF THE DEAD boxd.it/grPASr Undead masterpiece by which I measure every other zombie endeavor. Many are good. None are equal. Theatrical cut expertly blends humorous satiric elements with character development with gnarly practical effects. Mall life rules! #filmsky 📽

positive · AI labelView post →Like, the cops in the beginning of Romero's Dawn of the Dead are nowhere near as vicious as they would be in a movie if he were still alive. He would absolutely not show Wooley as an *unusually* violent cop. He'd be the norm.

neutral · AI labelView post →Dawn of the Dead. 1978. Dir: George Romero. Mostly know for its social critique of mass consumerism — w/ the majority of the film based at the mall — its opening 20 mins of SWAT teams going nuts while clearing out tenement buildings of its ‘illegals’ remains deftly poignant even today. #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Seeing Romero’s Dawn of the Dead at a midnight screening in a mall theater so you had to walk through an empty mall at 3 in the morning after the movie was over. It’s why god made the movies.
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #75 "Dawn of the Dead" (Zack Snyder/2004) An entertaining reimaging of the original Romero classic. In my opinion the most fun Zach Snyder film with likeable characters and great gore gags. Check it out!

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the very best horror films. The action comes in small spurts. That tunnel scene almost killed me the 1st time I saw it. The film has underlying longing for family. That kiss. The film starts & ends w the same word HELLO. There's a Dawn of the Dead (orig) zombie referenced.
positive · AI labelView post →girl, you must be George A. Romero the way you was an American-Canadian film director, screenwriter and editor, best known for his gruesome and satirical zombie films, including the seminal "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) and "Dawn of the Dead" (1978)

The lineup: Demons (1985) The Beyond (1981) Dawn of the Dead (1979) Horror of Dracula (1958) lining this up with the release of the new 4K with restored footage.
neutral · AI labelView post →There was an attempt to re-release the film as “Return of the Living Dead” to capitalize off Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. George Romero successfully got a restraining order against the use of this title. -Keith/ @Livingdadkeith.bsky.social.bsky.social #MutantFam #TheLastDriveIn
neutral · AI labelView post →In his defense, his Dawn of the Dead remake was not only one of the better early 2000s horror remakes, it is also Zack Snyders best film imo

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Dawn of the Dead (1978) which, for a long time, was my favorite zombie movie. Honestly might still be. Pacing issues aside, I'm not sure there's a more human zombie movie that also effectively tackles so many of society's ills.
