visual sensibilities of Dawn of the Dead are fantastic fun. The use of lighting is remarkable and the film showcases a beautiful sense of Dawn of the Dead, sensibly, sees Romero take a very different approach to the zombie movie than its predecessor. Though again seeing a group of people holed up in a bid to survive the onslaught outside, the tone and scope is very different.

The tenement scene early on is brutal and intense, but later on more comedy seeps in and the whole wish-fulfilment side of having a mall all to themselves, on top of having S.W.A.T. team members with big guns running around, gives the film more of an action-adventure vibe. Romero himself, in some of the interviews included in the set, claims he was aiming to make more of a comic book movie than anything particularly scary. The horror is still there though, and even if there aren’t any jump scares or particularly tense stand-offs, the film is still disturbing at times. The hopelessness of the situation the world is in and relentless nature of the zombie plague is effectively portrayed and, though it ends fairly heroically, the future of the survivors hardly looks positive. Interestingly, a much more bleak ending was planned and even partly shot, but Romero changed his mind during the shoot and opted for the admittedly slightly corny (a word the director himself uses) finale we get. George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead was a hugely influential film, not only in the horror genre, where it established the classic tropes of the zombie movie, but also in terms of low budget independent filmmaking. It made over 150 times its budget, a feat big Hollywood productions could only dream of. The Richard France interview is quite heartfelt and he’s an honest and interesting speaker, who offers a different angle on the film than many of the other contributors do.

(59 mins) Like with Night, Dawn also has a strong political/social subtext. In setting the film in a mall and watching how possessive and corrupted the characters get over their horde of ‘stuff’, Romero adds a healthy dose of satire surrounding consumerism. As the director will admit, this is pretty blatant, so maybe subtext is the wrong word, but it’s handled well and gives the film an edge over more bog-standard horror fare. balancing these human elements alongside the fright-fest terror of zombies.

(59 mins) Dawn of the Dead was originally finished on a 2K DI and that’s been the source for past home video releases, but for this outing, a new 4K scan of the negative was issued for this Dolby Vision HDR 4K UHD release. Per the reported specs, the unrated footage has been upscaled from the 2K DI, not sure of the wherewithal for that, but without already knowing the theatrical cut so well, with HDR I could barely tell the difference for those brief scene extensions and small sequences.
