The above ground scenes in this intro were amazing, according to the set producers this was the most detailed scene they ever did at the time and took 2 days, the city officials shut down a part of the city to create the dead zone. just imagine what George could of made if he gained that 7 million contract instead of the 3 million, we could of had more amazing deserted city scenes
I've read the original script once, for what Romero had planned with if he actually gotten the 7 million budget. That should make an amazing movie. He had a big fallout with LAUREL production, when they decided to half the budget. This is still a great one, but it can't top the original 1978's Dawn of the Dead.
"Listen......You Can Hear It Over The Engine" I swear, one time me and a few family members drove to a haunted house tour on Halloween, me and my younger cousin were to scared to get out the truck so my mom and my other relatives left, the people running the haunted house were playing some looping noise that sounded like the echoing wails of zombies in the distance just like this scene 5:49
When I first saw this movie, it was through DVD and I had to rewind it just to make out what exactly they're hearing. Imagine the chill running down my spine when I realize it's not wind nor the helicopter blades I'm hearing all that time, but the moans of the dead. 😨
The first zombie....brilliantly and horrifying introduced! You can hear the man's voice in the background and the music choice as the zombie listens and looks around to find the screams. He is very dead and far from what he used to look like or who he used to be. Its just so good! I wish there were more zombie intros like that as well the designs.
Fun detail, the zombie in question ("Dr. Tongue") is actually a cast of Tom Savini's head made into a puppet (and it was actually an accident, as they were drilling a hole in the face to make it look like it had literally "rotted away" over time when it caught on the drill and tore the entire jaw off, leading to them eventually creating the shotgun blasted face you see here so technically he appears in all of the main Romero films aside from Night of the living dead Dawn of the Dead: "Blades" (biker) Day of the Dead: "Dr. Tongue" (puppet) Land of the Dead: "Blades" (but zombified)
I was reading the description and you got some of the release date right they released it in July 3rd for a limited time and released it world wide on July 19th 1985
It’s meant to represent the absolute disrepair the world is in now, no people or pollution so now the gators and whatever other animals and plant life are retaking earth basically while the zombies just shuffle till they eventually rot into dust
Ya entiendo el hombre que grita con el megafono era la misma cancion de m1A1 de gorillaz pero mezclada con la musica de john harrison no me creen vayan a buscar en internet pongan m1A1 gorillaz ahi les va a salir la cancion

greatest horror opening ever
Hard to argue with that, especially with John Harrison's score. It really sets the tone and the pacing is perfect.
I agree nothing tops the sheer horror of knowing she's trapped in a military facility with nowhere to go
@@Badvibesdude love the music too
@@caseyjohnson5346 yeah there really arent too many horror films like this
@@seanmills7586 Absolutely. It makes the scene. I own the soundtrack on vinyl.

Quality , one of fav films 80s class captain Rhodes is Quality.

Her little bit of acting, that little eyebrow at 0.50 set up the whole movie for me. Great opening scene.
Classic 😎
Getting 28 Days Later vibes when he yells "Hello".
Sure, but that movie and The Walking Dead owe everything to this film.
Just makes me want to watch the actual movie again. I was startled when the video ended. XD

Thousand miles an hour…
Are we not gonna talk about this strange crocs 5:11 doing during the post-apocalyptic situation ?? Like why the hell is crocs here?!
The film is set in Florida. In Florida there are alligators everywhere!

If you look closely you can see something wrapped around its snout, obviously so it didn't bite anyone...
I love the idea that the dawn/day of the dead zombies ignore animal life. Makes em specifically crave nothing more than fresh human meat alone.
Alligators prefer rotted meat.
What version is this?? My disc is so grainy and blurry at times. I have the 2013 Blu-Ray
M1A1
THE GORILLIZ..BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM
