Description
Summary:
"Sequel-cum-remake of Night of the living dead is apocalyptic horror masterpiece; as zombie population increases, four people set up quasi-Utopian existence in barricaded shopping mall. Satiric, metaphorically rich adventure jerks viewers around with stunning ease, as zombies are, by turns, horrifying, heroic, made clownish, and even forgotten.
