Dawn of the Dead
4K Ultra HD
Blu Ray
Two praises for Dawn of the Dead: A top-notch action-horror with strong character focus and a successful remake that stands the test of time.
Experience the ultimate Dawn of the Dead on 4K UHD with a stunning 2160p HEVC/H.265 presentation in the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Featuring a new 4K scan of the negative and Dolby Vision HDR, it's a must-have for fans.
The exceptional DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound in the release of Dawn of the Dead is not up-mixed to Dolby Atmos, but offers the choice between a 5.1 or 2.0 track, suitable for those without full surround setup.
The 4K UHD Collector's Edition package retains the exceptional supplemental material of the Shout Factory release. Scream Factory's bonus features are still impressive, albeit dated, and worth exploring for fans seeking a five-star experience.
Dawn of the Dead's 4K UHD presentation is top-notch, complementing the action-packed horror and thrilling audiences. Produced by Eric Newman, this remake of George Romero's classic is a worthy addition to the genre.
