Synopsis
As hordes of zombies swarm over the U.S., the terrified populace tries everything in their power to escape the attack of the undead. In Pennsylvania, radio-station employee Stephen and his girlfriend, Francine, escape in the station helicopter, accompanied by two renegade SWAT members, Roger and Pete. The group retreats to the haven of an enclosed shopping center to make what could be humanity’s last stand.

Decades worth of prayers are about to be answered with the big screen return of Romero’s original DAWN OF THE DEAD. Our screening is the official final Director’s cut. For those of you who have seen it you know this is truly a special screening and for those who will be experiencing DAWN OF THE DEAD for the first time you are in for a treat that you will remember long after.

One of the most compelling and entertaining zombie films ever, Dawn of the Dead perfectly blends pure horror and gore with social commentary on material society.

Press
“Dawn of the Dead is arguably Romero’s best zombie film, and its stark social satire (it takes place in a mall, where the excesses of capitalism help to sustain survivors of the zombie apocalypse) will wake you up figuratively if not literally.” – Chicago Reader

“Cynical, devastating and relentless, director George A Romero’s gruelling masterpiece about the American Dream turning into a terrifying nightmare is a brilliant blend of black comedy and hip, if harrowing, carnage.” – Radio Times
