“Dawn of the Dead” (1978) – With These Zombies, it’s Black Friday everyday
George Romero continued the tale of the decimation of society by a zombie outbreak with this follow up to "Night of the Living Dead".
Romero angled for social commentary more heavily this time showing a horde of zombies inhabiting a shopping mall and lumbering about all the trinkets and merchandise available in a multi store shopping mall.
There are comments from the still human cast about how the undead have returned to a place of comfort where they wiled away hours, buying and looking at products and shit, when they were still counted among the living. Consumerism is criticized but the mall setting in the film allows all occupants the ability to find life sustaining supplies and ample shelter.
We can muse over the pros and cons of the self-contained mall environment on this, Black Friday.
Or not.
