Coming across as clean and crisp in its cinematography, it also persists in its expansive vision but also – an important thing – the Zombie-deaths pack a punch and, yeah, the blood and gore doesn’t lose its grisly edge. That’s not all either because the process was supervised and approved by Dawn of the Dead’s very own DoP Michael Gornick himself, and it looks stunning to be fair. Not only is it finally the long-awaiting release of this seminal film in this form, it comes as a Limited Edition 4K UHD and/or 4K Blu-ray release, with the 4K scan and restoration coming from the Original Camera Negative, which was backed by Second Sight at the wonderful Final Frame New York (and London), a post-production company who work with independent companies. This Second Sight Films release is an extensive, incredibly prominent bundle as well. Playing on the fears of the unknown, something the States and beyond have excelled in with the wrong kind of leaders of late, this film continues to impress as a small group of people look to survive after an unknown virus causes the dead to come back to life, and they kill the living to endure. Romero’s 1978 Dawn of the Dead rightfully remains a hugely influential film in the scheme of horror, social commentary, and creativity.
