Shout! Factory has announced the 4K UHD Collector’s Edition release of “Dawn of the Dead.” The movie will be released from Scream Factory in a 4K UHD + Blu-Ray combo pack this coming January 31, 2023. The release features a new 4K transfer of the unrated cut of the film and marks the first time the film will be available in 4K in the U.S. and Canada.
“Dawn of the Dead” is a remake of George A. Romero’s 1979 apocalyptic horror classic of the same name and was the directorial debut from Zak Snyder (“Army of the Dead”). The film was co-written by James Gunn (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) and tells of a handful of survivors who must wage a desperate, last-stand battle to stay alive when society is endangered by a mysterious virus that turns people into mindless, flesh-eating zombies.
Powered by heart-pounding action and bone-chilling thrills, this edgy and frightening film stars Ving Rhames (“Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2”), Sarah Polley (“Splice”), Jake Weber (“Wendigo”), Mekhi Phifer (“Divergent”), and Ty Burrell (“Modern Family”).
