DRIVE-IN SATURDAY
Heads chopped off. Eyeballs gouged out. Intestines devoured. A screwdriver in the throat. If these aren't your idea of fun and games, you're probably too chickenshit to last ten minutes at Dawn Of The Dead, a new screen puker that will. have Charles Manson and Son Of Sam saying "Enough already."

Heads chopped off. Eyeballs gouged out. Intestines devoured. A screwdriver in the throat.
If these aren't your idea of fun and games, you're probably too chickenshit to last ten minutes at Dawn Of The Dead, a new screen puker that will. have Charles Manson and Son Of Sam saying "Enough already."
Dawn is director George Romero's sequel to his revolting Night Of The Living Dead, an inspired screen classic of the late 60's which is now considered tame enough for late night television, provided you can stand the horror of public service spots, sermonettes and used car commercials.
Night, if you can remember back that far, was a black and white cheapie shot in Pittsburgh about a houseful of people fending off thousands of zombies determined totear them limb from limb before devouring them. Some people will do anything when their local Kentucky Fried Chicken closes forthe night.
— The sequel is in blood-spattering color, with a considerably higher budget, though still filmed in the Iron City. Someone oughta tell this Romero geek that dead folks will work for scale in other places, too: Detroit, Akron, any city in Canada...
