Dawn of the Dead
As modern society is consumed by zombie carnage, four desperate survivors barricade themselves inside a shopping mall to battle the flesh-eating hordes of the undead.

'When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the earth'. Preceded by 'Night of the Living Dead' (1968), followed by 'Day of the Dead' (1985). Remade in 2004.
