Dawn Of The Dead

"...DAWN pummels the viewer with a series of ever-more-grisly events....Romero's strong suit is pacing and technical fluidity. His film has a keen visual sense that tersely extracts the maximum from all the bloodletting..."

Undoubtedly the zombie movie to end 'em all, Dawn of the Dead starts roughly where Night of the Living Dead ended, and... read more on Time Out

Wow!!!
This is possibly the coolest movie of all time. Ok, you have to have a strong stomach, but if you love gore films like I do this is a must.
Pictures this, zombies are taking over the world and four people flee the big city in search of a less dead-man-walking populated area. They come across a deserted mall and manage to hole up inside with zombies coming at them from all angles.
Some of it is actually horrific but Romero doesn't just rely on effects. The themes he plays with are just as, if not more scary. And the metaphors to do with people and consumerism are pure genius. A Hollywood remake is on it's way, but make sure you see this first. The new one will pale in comparison. -

Diary of the Dead
- 03 Mar 2008
Zombie maestro George A Romero proves us all wrong again: you really can flog a dead horse. Just watch that it doesn't bite you back. This isn't exactly a sequel to the unfolding Night of the Living Dead series (so far 68-year-old Romero has given us Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead, and not a dud among them). Rather, it takes us back to square one and the very first night. The diary idea is similar to the first-person point of view in Cloverfield and The Blair Witch... Read more
