Dawn of The Dead.

Stephen, Francine, and two SWAT chaps Roger and Peter steal a helecopter and bugger off and take refuge in a shopping mall to escape the army of zombies that are taking over the world and eating everybody.

I have to say that this is still a fun watch and very entertaining zombie film. and despite the OTT biker gang and comedy moments, has great characters that you care about.

i will admit that the special effects don't hold up that well anymore and the zombies in particular are quite poor when you compare them to Lucio Fulci's creepy specimims dripping in worms.
most of the ones in Dawn just seem to have been given a quick green spraypaint in a similar style to Jean Rollins Nazi chaps in his classic Zombies Lake.

However it's still far more entertaining than most of the so called horror nowadays, and has a fabulous Goblin score as well. And will award this Romero classic a solid 77 out of 100.
