Celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the ultimate zombie classic, George A. Romero’s DAWN OF THE DEAD, as it was meant to be seen – on the Big Screen!
Long heralded as one of the greatest, most influential horror films of all time, this ferocious cinematic shocker has been one of the most requested theatrical revival titles from fright fans the world over for the last 30+ years. Unlike other cinematic favorites, George A. Romero’s DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) is still not available on any streaming platform, nor on cable, and has been out-of-print on DVD and BluRay in the U.S. for over a decade, so the hunger to watch it just keeps growing among its ravenous fans. Furthermore, the cult following for the film has grown exponentially since its release and is so large now it is estimated that over 80% of DAWN OF THE DEAD’s fans have never experienced this legendary epic in a theatre. That all changes starting this year!
"Dawn of the Dead is one of the best horror films ever made -- and, as an inescapable result, one of the most horrifying. It is gruesome, sickening, disgusting, violent, brutal and appalling." - Roger Ebert
"Dawn of the Dead's most unsettling aspect is in how it shows us how little we've changed as a culture." - Slant Magazine
"...a comic apocalypse that has come to maul the becalmed 70s. I think it's going to be the biggest cult blockbuster of all time." - Village Voice
