Dawn of the Dead (1978)

@BamPow dont judge me... but I never knew there was a version from 1978! And zombie films are some of my favourites so I feel disappointed in myself! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely have a look

@Heather139 You have to watch it with a forgiving eye if you’re used to the big studio zombie movies and shows. It’s an independent film that was shot at a mall in Pittsburgh during Christmas of 1977 overnights when the mall was closed. It’s George Romero’s second zombie movie and the followup to his 1968 Night of the Living Dead.
I’d recommend starting his movies in order. Night was first in ‘68. Then Dawn in ‘78. Day of the Dead was 1985. He made another one called “Land of the Dead” in 2004, which is a lot of fun. Land was more of a studio production that had more money, known actors, and more polished production. Romero made two more after that, but I didn’t really care for those.
No judgment as far as not knowing. I’m always happy to help someone discover new-to-them movies and music.
