What a difference a location makes! George Romero's sequel to the original Night of the Living Dead was, on paper, deceptively simple: just move the first film to a shopping mall. Luckily, Romero took the concept and ran with it, creating one of the first universally-recognized-as-socially-relevant horror films, at once lampooning and condemning modern consumer culture (why else would all the brainless zombies gravitate to the mall?). With its groundbreaking special effects (for the time, but they mostly hold up today) and iconic storyline, Dawn of the Dead was so good that even the completely unnecessary remake couldn't screw it up.
