Quite possibly the best horror film ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warning: Spoilers
Never, in my years as a horror fan have i found a review that has given good reason to why this film is sub-par. And only twice in my entire life have i found anyone who has disliked this movie ( one of which being my sister ). The film is one of the most intelligent horror films ever made. It quite cynically shows that we as a society would crumble in a situation such as this for the reason that we would more be fighting each other than the enemy at hand. Also it pretty much documents the rise of consumerism, in two ways:one, the characters feel that they are just fine as long as they have these material things, two, the zombies come back in instinct. This was one of the most important pars of their normal lives, & they try endlessly to get in. The story ( if you don't already know it) concerns a group of survivors, 2 swat team members, 2 television station employees ) steal a traffic helicopter & take to the skies to find a safer place of refuge. After a day of danger & no luck, they stumble upon a shopping mall. They hole up in a sort of emergency shelter in the roof, & slowly begin to make the mall theirs. Once they have cleared all the zombies out of the mall, they live like french kings, living it up while the poor starve outside their "castle". But a looting biker gang brakes their way in, & our main protagonists try to fight for what they have successfully stolen. The makeup is top notch, (i like blue-faced zombies), the gore is awesome, the music, catchy is an under statement, every little thing about this film is excellent. No matter what others may say, DAWN OF THE DEAD , will always the biggest cult phenomenon for decades, maybe even centuries to come.
