Dawn of the Dead
The only other movie on this list without a “two” in the title is George A. Romero’s essential zombie sequel, released a decade after 1968’s Night of the Living Dead. The movie cleverly takes aim at braindead consumerism by setting the action in an abandoned shopping mall, and intensifies the flesh-gnawing impact of the first film with outstanding Tom Savini special effects, rendered in glorious full color this time.
