    Special Features
    Along with the 127-minute U.S. Theatrical Version on Disc One of this three-disc set, you can find two of the original U.S. theatrical trailers for the film, three original television commercials, and nine radio spots. A commentary track is included in the Audio Setup menu, narrated by writer/director George A. Romero, make-up effects artist Tom Savini and assistant director Chris Romero. Twenty-five movie stills and promotional posters are included in the Poster & Advertising Gallery section, and an extremely detailed biography of director George A. Romero can be found in the section sporting his name. Also on this disc is a short preview of an upcoming Dawn Of The Dead Comic Book. Disc Two (which includes the 139-minute Extended Version) has an audio commentary track with producer Richard P. Rubinstein, an actual thirty second commercial spot for the Monroeville Mall

      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    George A. Romero

    DVD Picture:
    This new anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD (for the U.S. Theatrical version) appears to be the same as the previously released Divimax

    Soundtrack:
    This new DVD Box Set for Dawn Of The Dead contains three separate soundtrack versions. The U.S. Theatrical version on Disc One contains the identical DTS

    Reason #37 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The magazine provides no bull, solid technical information that is truly useful to me. The product reviews are excellent for helping me decide what to purchase. The DVD software reviews also help me to decide what movies are reference quality to add to my collection. I also love that the issues are not stuffed full of advertisements.
