Product Information

Europe's busiest forums, with independent news and expert reviews, for TVs, Home Cinema, Hi-Fi, Movies, Gaming, Tech and more. track is awful, mixed too tight, with dialogue almost muffled and artificial sounding surround ambience. Romero himself trimmed it down following its Cannes Festival premiere for its US theatrical release. And the opening sequence with Sarah Polley attacked in her home, leading to a vehicluar escape with videogame-like angles to shoot it, is an ALL-TIME great prologue no matter what genre. The Richard France interview is quite heartfelt and he’s an honest and interesting speaker, who offers a different angle on the film than many of the other contributors do.

The virus currently causing worldwide chaos isn’t as destructive as a zombie outbreak, but the argumentative news pieces we see in Dawn and the way our protagonists grow bored of shutting themselves away from the problem certainly felt familiar, adding a further disturbingly realistic edge to the film. The couple (Yes, that’s Nancy from Elm St), talks approaching a remake when they weren’t a thing and how they used war footage and trauma victim footage to get their ideas. Clarity/Detail: Dawn of the Dead features a new 4K scan from the original negative with inserts from the 2K digital intermediate for the unrated footage. The back speakers get involved too, but they really excel in some delicious zombie ambiance that haunts both the outside and the halls of the mall. Although confined to the center of the screen with outstanding dialogue reproduction from start to finish, dynamic range is surprisingly extensive with noteworthy clarity in the higher frequencies.

The colour of the blood is far from realistic, something Savini bemoans in an interview here (he said it looked good in reality but not on film) and Romero excuses, saying he wasn’t going for realism, but it fits the stylised mayhem on screen and may have been a little too sickening, had the blood and gore looked totally natural. British label Second Sight has dated its upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of the 4K restoration of George A. In Europe, Second Sight Films conducted a full 4K restoration of the original 35mm camera negatives for Romero theatrical cut, along with 4K remasters of the "Cannes" Extended version from the internegative and the Argento Cut from the interpositive.

Importantly, the new 4K scan (the few minutes of extra footage finished at 2K) shows exceptional definition. As is the case with the other cuts, optional subtitles are available in English for the Hard of Hearing.The end result is a beautiful HDR10 presentation delivering massive improvement over previous releases and a trio of DTS-HD MA options though the 2. The black of course are improved which helps contrast with the colors to give them a bit more luster. With John Amplas, Roy Frumkes, Tom Savini, Christine Forrest, Tom Dubensky, Tony Buba, Taso Stavrakis and a whole host of zombies and bikers! Snyder does a great job of making the movie a veritable blood bath, with blood, guts, gore and entrails hanging from every corner. It wasn’t Tom Savini’s first film as a special effects make-up artist, but it’s the one in which he made his name and lead to him finding fame with Friday the 13th not long after.

Zombies and Bikers – New hour long documentary feature with contributions from John Amplas, Roy Frumkes, Tom Savini, Christine Forrest, Tom Dubensky, Tony Buba, Taso Stavrakis. Romero himself, in some of the interviews included in the set, claims he was aiming to make more of a comic book movie than anything particularly scary.

He talks about how he knew the film was special when shooting and that he was in disbelief as he auditioned as just a filler. With a clean, well-defined mid-range, atmospherics enjoy strong, fluid movement across the screen while the iconic score exhibits distinct clarity and excellent fidelity in the orchestration. A whole host of extra features spread over all the discs in the set, with almost all the previous released material and an all new set to explore. The tenement scene early on is brutal and intense, but later on more comedy seeps in and the whole wish-fulfilment side of having a mall all to themselves, on top of having S. Snyder has a few other fun cameos in the film, even interjecting famous horror director/actor Tom Savini as a tough as nails town Sheriff .
