The brilliant Second Sight Films is giving George A. Romero’s  Dawn of the Dead a fantastic new home entertainment release. And when I say a fantastic release – I really mean FANTASTIC.

Painstakingly restored, Romero’s horror classic will be released on two separate formats: Dawn Of The Dead Limited Edition 4K UHD and Dawn Of The Dead Limited Edition Blu-ray on 16 November 2020.

There’s a plethora of material for fans to enjoy – both sets include four discs – with three versions of the film: The Theatrical Cut, The Extended (‘Cannes’) Cut and The Argento Cut.
