Dawn of the Dead (1978)Ĭommentators: George Romero (writer/director), Chris Romero (assistant director/actress), Tom Savini (special makeup effects/actor), moderated by DVD producer for Anchor Bay Perry Martin
However the path it takes to get here, here are all the things we learned listening to George & Chris Romero and Tom Savini talk about Dawn of the Dead. It could be such a slog it makes us wish Hell would run out of room. It could be a nice, organized way to handle information from the commentators. The commentary on this Anchor Bay Divimax is moderated by the DVD’s producer, not something we’ve come across before in this column. Who better to take us through Dawn of the Dead and show us how it all came to be than Romero, Savini, and George’s wife, Christine, who served as assistant director on the film. It’s the high watermark for epic, zombie storytelling, and, for 34 years, no film has come close to topping it. It’s the film that really introduced us to what Tom Savini could do with some plaster and a machete. It the film that made living in a zombie apocalypse fun. George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead is more than just an improved follow-up to 1968’s Night of the Living Dead. Okay, maybe more than one of them shows up all the time, but this one’s considered by many to be the best of them.
Of all the movie about the walking dead, one of them continuously appears on the best of lists time after time after time.
In this edition, Kate Erbland cracks open a fresh skull cap and digs in for George Romero’s commentary on his horror classic, Dawn of the Dead. Welcome to Commentary Commentary, where we sit and listen to filmmakers talk about their work, then share the most interesting parts.
