Maybe it's just a result of 70's culture as this movie has just not withstood the test of time. Stupid cliches about **** and other social aspects of society in an attempt to be cool really fall flat.

When directors of films realise films are audio/visual stories rather than a platform for social comment we might get good movies.… Expand

I don't know how this movie became a cult classic. I mean seriously? It was just a drag **** for 2hr 35min. I started having headache after 20minutes of watching.

I started having headache after 20minutes of watching. Literally, it was like a torture to me. Movie is pointless, sloppy, unrealistic garbage that drags on and on despite numerous moments when they could easily have ended the film. But no, they have to tack on more plot developments like the biker gang that randomly shows up just so we can suffer for another half hour. The acting was also bad. Their characters were nade so much dumb and idiotic. Zombie apocalypse is going on and they are enjoying in mall. For once, I was convincing myself that this garbage is sequel of Night of the Living Dead which was far far better. I don't know why people liked this movie. Might be their brain stopped working just like zombies. Overall, this movie is my worst experience with any movie. It gave me headache so bad that now I have to take medicine and sleep. Will not recommend this garbage headache to anyone except if you want to go to coma.… Expand

"Dawn of the Dead" is a complete and utter waste of time. The acting is wooden, the special effects are laughable, and the story is about as original as a broken record. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to make a movie about"Dawn of the Dead" is a complete and utter waste of time. The acting is wooden, the special effects are laughable, and the story is about as original as a broken record. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to make a movie about zombies, but they should probably stick to their day job. The only thing this film has going for it is its ability to put me to sleep faster than a warm glass of milk. Save yourself the agony and skip this cinematic disaster.… Expand
