DAWN OF THE DEAD

Italy/USA: George A. Romero, 1978

(George A. Romero, Tom Savini, Christine Romero and moderator Perry Martin commentary listened to on my MP3 player)

IMDB reference

Following on from my sampling of the Night of the Living Dead audio commentary, today I listened to George A. Romero's director's commentary for his masterpiece Dawn of the Dead. Again, this track manages to make you feel as if you are sat in George's front room and watching the film with him. In fact this is a far more entertaining listen whilst retaining the high level of information evident in the Night audio track. Tom Savini takes a lot of the credit for this as his enthusiasm really drives the conversation along and as a listener one is given a taste of the creative freedom and fun the film-makers experienced in the making of the greatest zombie movie of all time.

Commentary Rating: 8/10
