Dawn of the Dead (1978)


Director:  George A. Romero

PLOT:  Following an ever growing epidemic of zombies that have risen from the dead, a band of survivors takes refuge in a shopping mall.


UGLY MOLLY RATING:
Eight Brains 





Romero dug his hands in the dirt to make this film. A true master of the genre, he leads us to what I appreciate most about zombie apocalypse books, when they are well written, and movies that go in depth – the way the people become more gruesome monsters than the zombies. Isn’t this what Stephen King is warning us of with ‘The Stand’ and ‘Under the Dome’? Sometimes, the monsters are really each other. I love this film!

Budget: $650,000
Gross: $55,000,000
