| Flipside Movie EmporiumJeremiah KippIt's the spirit of Romero which shines through in this documentary. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.For Romero fanatics and zombie film enthusiasts, this is a video diary worth owning and treasuring. |
| User ReviewJoshua LA must watch for any fan of George Romero's zombie flicks. Lots of behind the scenes stuff for Dawn of the Dead, including material not found in the theatrical or the director's cut versions of the film. |
| User ReviewWes SIf you are interested in how films were made and released outside of the big studio system in the late 70's then this is well worth checking out. |
| User ReviewTim SA great early look at filmmaking in general. |
| User ReviewClemens HI wouldn't say that I'm into documentaries or something like that but this one is quite interesting. Well and of course it's old... |
| User ReviewKen SWhile this is certainly of interest to fans of George A. Romero and the horror genre, this documentary is actually quite a good explanation of the filmmaking process for any fan of film. If you want a good breakdown of how films are made, or if you are just a fan of Romero and zombie flicks, definitely worth a look. |
| User ReviewRichard DIt seems like this should be a fascinating documentary given the access Frumkes was given to Romero while "Dawn of the Dead" was being filmed. It turns out to just be okay. It's nice to get a glimpse into the process, but the glimpse is pretty unfocused and feels like a film school project. The additional footage tacked on during the making of "Two Evil Eyes" is remarkably uninteresting. Worth a look for Romero fans. |
| User ReviewJak-Luke SAn interesting look into all matters of production of Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Intriguing and enlightening but not as both extensive or fun as it sounds unfortunately. It's highly intellectual at times and fans of the series maybe put off with its age. |
| User ReviewKeith CIf you're a film student looking for a live-action textbook on lighting, camera angles, editing and so on in the horror genre then this is just what you're looking for, however if you're simply looking for an informative look into George A. Romero's classic Dead trilogy (Night, Dawn and Day) then you will likely be left disappointed. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of interesting material - the interviews with Romero himself being the highlights - but I personally found it a pity that the film focused so much on the technical side rather than cultural impact and the like. True a lot of the film was made during the Dawn of the Dead shoot - long before the films achieved their cult status (or were even released of course!) but it's still a shame. This also explains why there's no mention of Day of the Dead whatsoever - another disappointment. I was also saddened that large sections of the film deal with non-Dead Romero movies such as 1977's Martin but again this goes back to the films analysis of Romero's directing style. |
