Product Description
When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
With the U.S. in the grip of a zombie apocalypse, four desperate survivors find refuge in a shopping mall. But the flesh-eating hordes, still possessed by an instinctive desire to consume, are drawn to the same destination. What follows is a nail-biting fight for survival.
George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead remains one of the greatest horror films ever made, often imitated but never equalled, and is now presented in a brand-new restoration.

Aside from great effects, fantastic over the top (for its time) gore, and an underlying statement about our zombified society, what really makes DOTD shine is its characterization. All 4 main characters are built up throughout the film and you begin to really care about them; the life they start to make in the shopping mall makes one wonder if they would do the same. George Romero has always had a touch for building good characters and this film is no exception. Critically acclaimed and arguably the GREATEST horror movie ever made (in my personal opinion, it absolutely is), this is one that no fan should be without and no avid horror fan should pass up.
Disc 1 includes the U.S. Theatrical version, which actually is George Romero's preferred version, running at 127 minutes you'll get the most well-balanced version of the film available. Includes all the gore and blood that was meant to be in theaters, as well as the genius soundtrack.
Disc 2 is the full extended version of the film which adds 12 minutes to the original length, running at 139 minutes. While the soundtrack to this version is the same, the movie features extra scenes but at times can just feel a tad too long; still though, because the movie itself is so great one wouldn't mind sitting in an extra 12 minutes. For me personally this is MY preferred version, but contrary to popular opinion, this is NOT the version George Romero himself prefers.
Disc 3 is the European cut of the film, and seems to be mostly everyone's LEAST cared for version of the film. And for good cause. The movie runs 118 minutes long and the soundtrack is greatly reworked for the European audience, featuring somewhat stranger ideas in terms of musical tension that comes in the form of funny synth sounds that while still workable, still takes away greatly from the original soundtrack which featured zombies walking and moaning to goofy "carnival-like" music that really made George Romero's "zombie nation" statement applicable and note-worthy. Furthermore, in this version, the ending is simply a black screen with credits, whereas in the other versions, credits were atop more zombie "pranks" with the same carnival type of music, that while on the surface sounds goofy, it still gave the film a pretty creepy touch that gets you smirking on the outside, while feeling a bit uncomfy on the inside.
The European version of this film is basically cut to make this more of a straight out action film rather than a psychological spine tingler that the other versions were so good at being. Classic director Dario Argento remade this version to appeal to European audiences, and while it does the job, more art-film enthusiasts may be turned off by it's almost complete lack of psychological creepiness.
Disc 4 features 4 different documentaries that fans of this film will absolutely pine over. 2 features are over an hour long each in length, and contain FULL cast and production team interviews all these years later, therefore it's VERY fun to see where all these actors are and how they've aged (may I say that the female protagonist of this film, Gaylen Ross, still looks just as gorgeous as she did 30 years ago! Wow!), including George Romero himself. Plus 2 shorter features that are home video shot, one featuring some cast members and zombies (the actors from way back when) going to the actual mall where the film was shot, as well as home videos made during the production of this film. All in all, the documentary feature gives fans a greatly detailed influx of info on this grand horror masterpiece.
At this price, it's an easy decision, if you're already a fan of the film, you owe it to yourself to add this to your cart IMMEDIATELY. And for those who have never seen the film, for the price listed this is one buy that will absolutely not let you down.
Dawn of the Dead Picks up sometime after Night of the Living Dead, and we see a television studio in pandemonium as the zombie plague spreads and various commentators argue about a course of action. It's here we meet two of the main characters of the film, who are romantically involved, in Francine Parker (Gaylen Ross) and Peter Washington (Ken Foree). Francine works in the studio, and Peter is a helicopter pilot. Peter speaks of a plan to leave the city and fly to Canada using the helicopter. We then cut to a SWAT team getting ready to enter a tenement where it is thought local residents are harboring a group of family members who are now of the undead variety, unable to let go of hope that they may be helped in some way. Here we get our first look at the zombies and some particularly violent and brutal scenes involving the munching of flesh and the popping of heads with various small arms weapons. One of the SWAT members, Stephan Andrews (David Emge) is in on the plan to leave the city in the helicopter, and confides this information to another member, Roger DeMarco (Scott H. Reiniger) who both soon departs to meet with Peter and Francine.
Flying in the helicopter, they come across a shopping mall, land with the hopes of getting supplies, and find that this might not be a bad place to hole up for awhile. They begin to clear the mall of the undead, and fortify their position by blocking the entrances into the building, keeping the zombies at bay. Things seem to be going pretty well until a roving gang of bikers/mercenaries crash the party, allowing for the zombies to re-enter the building. This sets up some pretty funny scenes with the bikers racing around stealing now useless articles and beating up on zombies.
A few things set this movie apart from the original Night of the Living Dead (1968). Obviously this film being color is a huge difference, allowing us to see the visceral gore in all its Technicolor brilliance whereas the original was in stark black and white. Another point is the inclusion of comedy. Some of it ironic, some subtle, and some being slapsticky (a pie fight with zombies? Yep, it's here). The elements I appreciated most were seeing the zombies walking around the pinnacle of western consumerism, the shopping mall, and hearing the pre-recorded announcements playing ("For each five dollar purchase, customers will receive a complimentary one pound bag of hard candy") A final point I found different from the original was the scale of that film compared to Dawn of the Dead. Night of the Living Dead was a much smaller production, relying on a small number of settings to tell that highly effective tale. Here we are treated to a number of large sets, and most of the film takes place within a shopping mall with a cast of hundreds, many being zombies. This really served well in displaying the extent of the problem, in that it seemed no matter how many zombies you dispatched, there were always more to take their place.
It's interesting to see how well the more violent scenes hold up in this movie, eliciting revulsion from this viewer, despite a number of previous viewings. I'll never get used to seeing a zombie take a chunk out of someone's neck, blood spurting, flesh tearing...I'm serious, if you have a weak stomach, this film should be avoided. The realistic portrayal of the violence is not toned down one bit, but certainly doesn't go as far as some of the European horror/splatter films of the late 70's/early 80's. Tom Savini really set a standard here with his mastery of special effects.
I really appreciate Anchor Bay for re-releasing this original theatrical version on DVD again. Their first release sold out quickly and now commands a much higher price from third party sellers than I was willing to pay. Along with a beautiful print of the film, we get a commentary by Romero and effects master Savini, trailers, TV spots, promotional materials, a preview of the comic book, and exhaustive liner notes. This film is followed up by Day of the Dead (1985), also written and directed by Romero. I had heard Romero was working on a fourth film, tentatively titled Dead Reckoning, but given his sporadic output and his seemingly continual difficulties with financing and creative control, I would be surprised if that project ever saw the light of day. One can always dream...

Ok, so the people buying this most likely know the film like the back of their hand anyway so I won't bore you with yet another synopsis of the movie at hand. This review is about what the product has in it, compared to previous releases.
So, the first 3 blu ray discs are the film, in 3 versions:
The Original Theatrical Cut (127 mins)
• NEW 4K scan and restoration of the Original Camera Negative by Second Sight at Final Frame New York and London supervised and approved by DoP Michael Gornick
• Presented in HDR10+
• Audio: New restoration of the original OCN Optical presented in Mono 1.0, Stereo 2.0 and 5.1.
• Commentary by George A. Romero, Tom Savini, Christine Forrest
• NEW commentary by Travis Crawford
• NEW optional English subtitles for the hearing impaired
The Cannes Cut ( basically I think this is the director's cut at 137 mins long )
• Produced using 4K scan of the Theatrical Cut Original Camera Negative and 4K scan of the Extended Cut Colour Reversal Internegative
• Presented in HDR10+
• DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0 Mono
• Commentary by Richard P. Rubinstein
• NEW optional English subtitles for the hearing impaired
The Argento Cut (120mins)
• 4K scan of the Interpositive by Michele De Angelis at Backlight Digital, Rome
• Audio: DT-HD Master Audio Mono 1.0 / Surround 5.1 / Stereo 2.0
• Commentary by Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, Gaylen Ross, David Emge
• NEW optional English subtitles for the hearing impaired
NOTE, sadly this collection does NOT contain a blu ray ( or otherwise ) transfer of the "MALL HOURS CUT" ( 157mins. <-- this version edits in every last second of footage from various releases around the world and is the one to own if you want to see EVERYthing ) which is kind of a shame, but I understand why it isn't here, because it's really a fan - edit and not an official release of the film.
If you DO want a blu ray version of Dawn of the Dead ( Mall Hours Cut ) you can actually buy it on blu ray ( it's actually bluray quality too, not a crummy, thrown together VHS print, just slapped on a bluray disc ) you'll need to hunt down a ( pretty expensive ) 4 Disc blu ray collection from XTVideo in Germany/Austria(?) and that will have it on there. The packaging on that set is all in German, but don't worry, all the versions of the film and extras have English Audio on them too.

This is actually some pretty exciting news for mega fans of DotD, because Second Sight Films have really gone to town with finding the music cues that have never been commercially available before, outside of things like the incredibly hard to find and expensive De Wolfe Library. They haven't just slapped the old Trunk Record's Unreleased Incidental Music into the packaging, they've actually gone and found a whole tonne of previously unavailable cues. Not ALL of them, but A LOT of them.
These have probably been around on the net, in various places, for a few years now, but it's fantastic that this company has provided us with CD quality versions without the need to go hunting on forums etc.

21 - Proud Action
22 - Dramatic Moments No.4
23 - The Gonk ( Sadly doesn't end like the film's credits with the clock tower chimes and zombie moans etc, but i'm nitpicking )
NOTE: These cues are sometimes edited down from the full original pieces of music, to the cues in the film itself, to give context to what you're hearing, rather playing the entire piece of music that has only 30 seconds of a DotD cue in the middle of it, that was used in the film.
So that's 69 pieces of music and edited cues from the various film releases. So not complete by any means but all the important stuff is in there, like Victorian Vintage ( turning on the mall power ) and Cantando ( melancholy classical guitar piece ) and the superb Fugarock ( part of the shopping music scene ) etc...
Plus you also get
• Rigid box with lid featuring the original iconic artwork
• Two inner digipaks
• Dissecting the Dead – 160 page hardback book featuring 17 new essays, archive article and George A. Romero interview plus original marketing, artwork and merchandise images and behind-the-scenes stills.
• Dawn of the Dead: The novelisation book by George A. Romero and Susanna Sparrow with exclusive artwork
Overall kinda expensive maybe, but not too bad at all, considering what they've put into the package. The music cues alone, make this release a really cool edition for your DotD collection. The DotD novelisation is a HQ paperback and the Dissecting the Dead book is hardback and includes colour images through the middle section of it. Photos of various behind the scenes and paraphernalia, relevant to the film and it's original release.

このブルーレイのレビュー以外に、DVDや粗悪な3D盤のレビューまで一緒になっています。
レビューを参考にして購入を考えている人は、十分に注意して読んでください。
しかし何とかならないモノでしょうか?Amazonさん!
さて私が今回購入したのは、ドイツのゾンビ・ファンが、ダリオ・アルジェント版をベースにディレクターズ・カット版と米国劇場公開版の3本を編集し直して製作したという、幻の155(156)分バージョンの最長版。
DVDは2枚組で、プロの機材を使って編集している様子を記録したメイキングまで収録されているモノです。
ちなみに今回のブルーレイは、本編のみの収録です。
DVDは、スタンダード画面にビスタサイズという上下に黒い枠があるモノでしたが、このブルーレイはビスタサイズ収録。
DVDは、リージョンが違うしPAL盤なので、オールフリーの再生環境を持ったプレイヤーがないと再生出来ません。
現在でもこのDVDは、購入可能です。
しかし今回のブルーレイは、日本の機種でも再生可能なフリーのブルーレイ。
Amazonさんから届いて再生するまでは、16,000円を超える高額商品だったので、見てガッカリするのではないかと心配していましたが、結果はその逆でした。
DVDは、日本のファンには聞き慣れないドイツ語だけだったのに対し、今回のブルーレイは英語版も選択できます。
そして何と言っても画質が良かったこと。
DVDとブルーレイの差だよと言われそうですが、それ以上のように見えました。
レストアもされているのではないかと思うほど、DVDの画質とは違ってフィルム・キズも目立たない画質でした。
また、国内盤の他の3種類のブルーレイと画質を比較してみましたが、他のブルーレイと殆ど差はありません。
しかし3本を再編集しただけあって、色合いがかなり違う連続するシーンもあり、気になる人には向かないかも知れません。
ただし、映画『ゾンビ』のために撮影されたカットが、全て繋ぎ合わされて見られるという幸運に、各シーンの色の差や画質の違いはあまり気にならないというのが、ゾンビ・ファン(ダリオ&ロメロ・ファン)の本音です。
とにかく買って損はなかったと言うのが自分の感想です。
ファンの人にしか分からない感覚かも知れませんが、私は高額でも満足しています。
と言うより、購入出来るうちに購入しておかないとプレミア商品間違いなし感がある一枚だと思います。
ケースは、スチールブックの特別仕様で、ケースの表面は一段の段差が有り、その段差に厚みのある立体カードが固定されているモノです。
少し動かして見ると3D感が際立ちます。
と言うことで、問答無用で5つ星とさせて頂きました。

このブルーレイのレビュー以外に、DVDや粗悪な3D盤のレビューまで一緒になっています。
レビューを参考にして購入を考えている人は、十分に注意して読んでください。
しかし何とかならないモノでしょうか?Amazonさん!
さて私が今回購入したのは、ドイツのゾンビ・ファンが、ダリオ・アルジェント版をベースにディレクターズ・カット版と米国劇場公開版の3本を編集し直して製作したという、幻の155(156)分バージョンの最長版。
DVDは2枚組で、プロの機材を使って編集している様子を記録したメイキングまで収録されているモノです。
ちなみに今回のブルーレイは、本編のみの収録です。
DVDは、スタンダード画面にビスタサイズという上下に黒い枠があるモノでしたが、このブルーレイはビスタサイズ収録。
DVDは、リージョンが違うしPAL盤なので、オールフリーの再生環境を持ったプレイヤーがないと再生出来ません。
現在でもこのDVDは、購入可能です。
しかし今回のブルーレイは、日本の機種でも再生可能なフリーのブルーレイ。
Amazonさんから届いて再生するまでは、16,000円を超える高額商品だったので、見てガッカリするのではないかと心配していましたが、結果はその逆でした。
DVDは、日本のファンには聞き慣れないドイツ語だけだったのに対し、今回のブルーレイは英語版も選択できます。
そして何と言っても画質が良かったこと。
