Dawn of the Dead (also known internationally as Zombi) is a 1978
American horror film written and directed by George A. Romero.[3] It was the second film made in Romero's Living Dead series, but contains no characters or settings from Night of the Living Dead, and shows in a larger scale the zombie plague's apocalyptic effects on society. In the film, a plague of unknown origin has caused the reanimation of the dead, who prey on human flesh, which subsequently causes mass hysteria. The cast features David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger and Gaylen Ross as survivors of the outbreak who barricade themselves inside a suburban shopping mall.[3]
Dawn of the Dead was filmed over approximately four months, from late 1977 to early 1978, in the Pennsylvania cities of Pittsburgh and Monroeville.[4] Its primary filming location was the Monroeville Mall. The film was made on a relatively modest budget estimated at $650,000, and was a significant box office success for its time, grossing approximately $55 million worldwide.[2] Since opening in theaters in 1978, and despite heavy gore content, reviews for the film have been nearly unanimously positive.[5]
In addition to four official sequels, the film has spawned numerous parodies and pop culture references. A remake of the movie premiered in the United States on March 19, 2004. It was labeled a "re-imagining" of the original film's concept.[6] In 2008, Dawn of the Dead was chosen by Empire magazine as one of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time,[7] along with Night of the Living Dead.

One of the greatest Zombie films of all time. Don't care to much for the remake, though you do get to see a few members from the original in the the remake.

Tom Savini is the one you are thinking of De Niro, and the greatest makeup artist in the business.
