Zombie movies are not like wine

Dawn of the Dead 1978 Poster
For my birthday last year my wife gave me a special box-set edition of one of my favourite films: George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978). I let the black box sit on the shelf, waiting for the perfect occasion to watch and enjoy it like a good wine. Recently, I decided the time was right to watch it again, so I ripped open the plastic cover, selected one of the three versions of the film and settled down for a night of zombie apocalypse.
And it wasn’t that good.
