Correction -- I meant DAWN Of the Dead.

Ah, this is what this website is potent at... asking horror fans a question about a classic film!

At the beginning of Dawn at the Dead, this police/national guard/militia force enters a housing project to kill the undead zombies inside. In one scene, that no one would forget, and militia/police dude kicks in a door and blows the head off a black individual.

The question is: was it a zombie... or was it a regular person, a non-infected, not a zombie individual?

Before the 'police force' went in, this dude was using racial epithets, and had just shot at a black dude who was not a zombie, and then kicked in an apartment door and shot the head off a black dude, and the other police said he was "going ape-shit". So, I think, but am not sure, we are to have the impression that it was not a zombie. However, looking closely at the face/head being blown off, which is a model, it most definitely has a blue hue to it, which would make it a zombie (as the zombies have blue makeup on). But maybe, since it's a model, they tried to make it a black man, but the makeup they used was what was available, and had blue tones to it... but they didn't intend that 'he' look like a zombie...

I think the intention of writer/director Romero, is that it was a regular human (which was my impression 30-plus years ago). But the model is definitely has a blue-ish tone. So I don't know. What do you think?
