Second Sight Films are releasing the George A. Romero classic ‘Dawn Of The Dead’ in a standard 4-Disc BluRay set for the first time following their limited edition set released last year.
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.
