Dawn Of The Dead (2004) Screening

Graveyard Shift returns to Cultplex on Friday August 1st for a special screening of Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake of the George Romero classic, Dawn Of The Dead. In a sea of 00s remakes, this movie stands head and shoulders above the masses with its brutal take on the source material and in our opinion, one of the best opening sequences in modern horror.

When her husband is attacked by a zombified neighbour, Ana (Sarah Polley) manages to escape, only to realize her entire Milwaukee neighbourhood has been overrun by the walking dead. After being questioned by cautious policeman Kenneth (Ving Rhames), Ana joins him and a small group that gravitates to the local shopping mall as a bastion of safety. Once they convince suspicious security guards that they are not contaminated, the group bands together to fight the undead hordes.

The Graveyard Shift DJs will warm the room up just before the movie and afterwards if you need some time to avoid the outside world and potential violent zombies. You can’t be too safe.
