Forty years after the release of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead, the horror and despair are still vivid.

Use of physical commercial facilities is no longer difficult

It has already been 40 years since `` Dawn of the Dead '' was released. The fast-paced development and different edited versions are alluring and create a permanent fan base, without making you feel the aging of the series. However, most of the boys and girls who were traumatized by the key visual of Dawn of the Dead attacking an elevator have now reached the stage of middle age, and director Romero has already passed away.

However, sometimes the true value of something becomes clear after such a long period of time. `` Dawn of the Dead '' is one such work, and it has a value that cannot be obtained today.

For example, one of the important points of this work is a huge shopping mall. The film used Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as a filming location. However, the idea of ​​renting out a large, existing commercial facility for a long period of time for filming is now difficult to come to fruition. In today's world, there are many issues that need to be cleared up, such as the impact of filming on business and the trademark rights of companies contracted as tenants, making it extremely difficult to film on-site.

"Dawn of the Dead" (C) 1978 THE MKR GROUP INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

This is clearly demonstrated by `` Dawn of the Dead '' (2004), a remake of `` Dawn of the Dead .'' In the film, a shopping mall is built as a set, and most of the stores have been changed to fictitious businesses due to legal issues. `` Dawn of the Dead '' left a good impression as a work, but I can't help but feel that the mall was hastily constructed in response to the filming.

`` Dawn of the Dead '' is also a work that stimulates the desire hidden within humans to take advantage of panic and monopolize the goods at the mall. Therefore, there is nothing that can beat the persuasive power that everything shown there is ``real.''

A sharp reference to taboos that are being avoided
