Now that the first night has passed a new dawn is upon us in this superb sequel to the classic Night of the Living Dead. The world is in chaos as the countries attempt to make sense of the walking dead. A group of four take to the skies after making off with a news-chopper. They eventually settle at a new beacon of society...the shopping mall. They become complacent over time but the walking dead and looters snap them back into cold, dead reality. Dawn of the Dead was a fantastic way to continue the dead series. The not-too-subtle jab at consumerism and its effect on society is clever as is the campy slapstick that the film takes in regards to the zombies at times. The Tom Savini gore is top-notch and the Goblin score is fantastic. Dawn is my personal favorite of the series and an absolute treat for horror movie fans.
