This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead is as dull as bad horror films come. Sure, it is considered a classic, making zombies entities of pop culture. But the fact remains that this film has no other redeemable qualities when it comes to the plot. It is just a bunch of survivors running around the mall, with no apparent intention, other than the fact that they are seeking refuge inside the building. All other things they do are unclearly implied or not even mentioned at all. The acting is so wooden; it is impossible for me to connect with any of the characters. The editing is also a problem, as it jumps in time more often, leaving the viewers guessing what the two-dimensional characters are doing or about to do. The dialogue is also sleepily dull, making the characters even more wooden than they already are. The only takeaway of this film is the cinematography, which was handled amazingly, and the makeup, although it needs more work. This is a far cry from the previous film, Night of the Living Dead, which perfectly stands alone on its own. Maybe they should rename this "Dull of the Dead." Just saying.… Expand
