Quick Hit

Dawn of the Dead unfolds like an apocalyptic zombie blast—apocalyptic, satirical, and never wastes a scare.

Full Take

Dawn of the Dead leans hard into zombie horror energy, and George A. Romero keeps the tone apocalyptic without letting the movie drift. This one understands that tension beats noise, so it keeps tightening the screws until you're stuck in it. Certified genre fuel.

I’m kind of in the middle on this. There are parts that really work, but also a lot that don’t. It ends up feeling inconsistent depending on what you’re looking for.
