"WHEN THERE'S NO MORE ROOM IN HELL, THE DEAD WILL WALK THE EARTH"
Be Kind Rewind Bristol Cinema Club is excited to present our third Halloween Special of 2024, a cult masterpiece of zombies and social commentary, George A. Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978).The DIRECTOR'S CUT! Screening downstairs at The Ill Repute.
In this scathing rebuke of the baby boomer generation's unfulfilled promise, the zombie apocalypse moves from the remote farmhouse of the first instalment of Romero’s Trilogy of the Dead – considered by many to be a microcosm of America – to the country's capitalist altar: the mall. In one of the film's most iconic images, zombies roam the shopping mall out of mindless routine in a satirical statement on consumerism that's as relevant today as it was in the late 70s.
Enjoyed by many as a political horror, a biting satire, and a stomach-churning visual effects extravaganza, Dawn of the Dead is revered as one of the best zombie films ever made.
The film starts at 8 PM. Please make sure to get down early to guarantee yourself a good seat.
