When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth - or so we’re told part way through George Romero’s 1978 cult masterpiece Dawn of the Dead, which offers critical takes on race, consumerism, and nationalism with the relentless force of a zombie hoard.
Dawn of the Dead is the second film in Romero's series of zombie films, and though it contains no characters or settings from the preceding film Night of the Living Dead (1968), it shows the larger-scale effects of a zombie apocalypse on society. In the film, a phenomenon of unidentified origin has caused the reanimation of the dead, who prey on human flesh. David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, and Gaylen Ross star as survivors of the outbreak who barricade themselves inside a suburban shopping mall amid mass hysteria. (via Wikipedia.)
