Original Dawn Of The Dead

I own it, and have only seen like the first 35 min of it.

I keep trying to watch it, but i always dose off or have to cut it short.

Am i missing some great shit here?

I LOVE DAY
But dawn has a weird TROMA feel to it. Especially in the begining when they raid the projects.

any thoughts?

oh comonnnn!

the begining..when they raid the building.

its VERY low budgetish..

(i dont mean that in a negative way)

and it does resemble a troma film..in acting..and gore in certain points.


im just saying.

the movie doesnt seem as AMAZING as people make it out to be...

so is it over rated?
im not stating..im asking.

i will watch and judge for myself.

but im curious.

the grainy low beat beginning is creepy, and sets up the rest of the film nicely ...

it does get 'better' but that opening is very effective as far as I'm concerned ...


keep watching ... you'll feel like a goof once you finished it that you ever questioned it ..


there is a reason that it's an all time classic

It's not over rated and the raiding does seem somewhat low budget but nowhere NEAR Troma. I'd put that beginning scene alone up against Terror Firmer or the likes.

I love every part of this movie. Even the ghetto raid.

We're a loneley breed Skoof. Though I thought it was a pretty good movie, it is IMO by far the low point of Romero's trilogy. Not nearly as original as Night or Day, I thought it only got somewhere close to it's reputation when the raiders showed up. Perhaps it deserves another viewing, but Im not in a rush.

Its a very good watch Skoofx. Perhaps a bit dated but a classic in every sense of the word.



hmmm...that sounded a bit rhetorical....didn't it?...dated classic!?
