Memorable quote: “I know that there are some things worse than death. And one of them is sitting here waiting to die.”
Synopsis: Dawn Of The Dead is a 1978 horror film directed by George Romero. In the film, a plague of unknown origin caused the living dead to walk the earth. The zombies prey on human flesh, which causes mass hysteria. The movie is based around survivors of the outbreak who barricade themselves inside a suburban shopping mall. While the original is considered a classic by many the re-make with Ving Rhames isn’t shabby either.
