Dawn of the Dead (1978): 45th Anniversary Theatrical Re-Release

Long heralded as one of the greatest, most influential horror films of all time, Dawn of the Dead (1978) is not available on any streaming platform, and has been out-of-print on DVD and BluRay in the U.S. for over a decade, so the hunger to watch it just keeps growing among its ravenous fans…

When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth. During an ever-growing epidemic of zombies that have risen from the dead, two Philadelphia SWAT team members, a traffic reporter, and his television-executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall.

Dawn of the Dead is one of the best horror films ever made — and, as an inescapable result, one of the most horrifying. It is gruesome, sickening, disgusting, violent, brutal and appalling

Roger Ebert

…a comic apocalypse that has come to maul the becalmed 70s.  I think it’s going to be the biggest cult blockbuster of all time.
