When there's no more room in HELL, the dead will walk the EARTH

Director - George a. Romero     Wiki by Sicknote 

When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) is a bench mark in the living dead genre, one of the biggest cult movies ever made and and inspiration to thousands of people.

Following the events of Night of the Living Dead (1968), we follow the exploits of four survivors of the expanding zombie apocalypse as they take refuge in an abandoned shopping mall following a horrific SWAT evacuation of an apartment complex. Taking stock of their surroundings, they arm themselves, lock down the mall, and destroy the zombies inside so they can eke out a living--at least for a while. Tensions begin to build as months go on, however, when they come to realize that they've fallen prey to consumerism. Soon afterward, they have even heavier problems to worry about, as a large gang of bikers discovers the mall and invades it, ruining the survivors' best-laid plans and forcing them to fight off both lethal bandits and flesh-eating zombies.        

Combining extreme gore with a great plot Dawn is an amazing film that will draw you and tear you apart!

In the original ending written by Romero Peter was supposed to shoot himself in the head and Fran was supposed to end her life by putting her head into the spinning helicopter blades. Then when the credits had rolled the camera would show the helicopter running out of fuel, showing that they would have died either way. They were doomed!
