Think about the shot where Ben clubs the zombie in the doorway, and as it falls away it reveals three more emerging from the darkness behind it. I think that is one of the best shots ever captured on film! Glad to see others noticed it as well.

I think that is one of the best shots ever captured on film! Glad to see others noticed it as well. While that particular sequence did not make the movie per se it certainly established a hopeless feeling of impending doom. While I understand why Mike's friend laughed at Dawn due to its lack of "slickness" I also vividly recall my first viewing of the film when it premiered on the big screen. This was in the late 70s, of course, and movie goers had yet to become jaded with all of today's dazzling SFX and digital clarity. No one laughed at the movie. In fact quite early on people were getting up and walking out of the theater -- not because they thought the movie sucked. They could not handle the gore. Heck, when Wooley blew that dude's head to pieces half a dozen got up and walked out (probably scarred for life lol). Despite its limitations and flaws I believe Dawn set the high bar for every subsequent horror film. It is definitely a classic and should be viewed as such. -stray-
