- Craptacular
I bought this film under the impression that it was great film, how wrong I was. The acting is wooden, the people seem like they are enjoying being stuck in a mall full of dead caniballs. The zombies make-up is appalling, they look crap, and the film is over 2 hours long, making it unbearable to watch. Avoid this trash at all costs and watch the remake as it is 100 times better.

- I don't see why it gets soo much love, perhaps you had to be there.
Don't get me wrong it's an alright film, but after being told for years how great it was I expected more. The zombies are not great but then for the time and budget it isn't a shock so I don't hold that against it. The thing is it didn't grip me, nothing made watching it compelling, not the tension nor cast nothing. Perhaps it is because I saw it much later in life, I saw it first in 2002, maybe the subtleties are lost on me, I personally prefer the remake. I don't want to say the people that love it are wrong but maybe they are caught up in nostalgia.

(This review is not to be taken as an altogether serious expression of my views! It is part of an elaborate joke.)

This film was recently shown on BBC2 in its "Forbidden Season". Though described in The Radio Times as "the Citizen Kane of horror" and promised in its entirety, several minutes from it appear to have been forbidden by the controllers. The cinema version, which I saw in June 1980, I remember as much nastier - more blood, more cannibal scenes, and even some zombie children at the airstrip. Never mind this, however. The film has been trimmed of a few superficial ... Read More:

- The greatest zombie movie there will ever be
First of all I would just like to say that the remake of this will never and even over a period of time ever, ever be anywhere near as good as this original.

Along with John Carpenter's The Thing, Dawn Of The Dead isn't the scariest film I have seen and in my opinion not as scary has Night Of The Living Dead but overall I prefer this and it is in my top ten films of all time. I know why this is one of my favourite films because I have watched it so many times that I have lost count and enjoy it equally if not more every time I see it. It all starts off with a feeling of panic and end of the world and this part of the film works because there is not much of a sense of humour, it takes itself very seriously until the scenes with the ...

- AMAZING, MIND BLOWIN ZOMBIE MOVIE
I wuold like to first say that the person that said 'bad movie', should be put in a mental home. This is THE zombie movie its got LAUGHS,GORE, STORY,ACTING AND IS a GREAT horror MOVIE. VERY ORIGIONAL. Who ever says otherwise should be kept in a metal cage and given SAW treatment.
