Dawn of the Dead (1978) Who could have guessed that a relatively low-budget indie feature about a small band of friends boarding themselves up in a shopping mall to escape the zombie apocalypse would become one of the most analyzed films in horror movie history? Come for the genre-defining gut-munching effects that made Tom Savini a household name (well, in Addams Family type houses at least) and stay for George Romero's go for the jugular critique of American consumerism.
TIL: When thinking about movie taglines it doesn't get much better than Dawn of the Dead's "When there's no more room in Hell the dead will walk the Earth." Theologically, it makes no sense as, fiery metaphors notwithstanding, Hell is just the term we use to describe the final state of those who have willfully chosen eternal separation from God. There will be resurrected bodies involved, but as with Jesus after he came back, normal physical rules don't apply to those, so there's no way Hell can get full. Still, it's a cool line, and it looks great on a one-sheet.
I HAVE SOME NOTES: Just jotting down random thoughts on my daily Scripture readings.
