George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978) stages a satirical apocalypse in which the shopping mall becomes both sanctuary and symbolic locus of late-capitalist desire. This paper argues that Romero’s film operates simultaneously as a horror text and as an incisive critique of consumer culture, using spatial dynamics, crowd behavior, and visual motifs to expose how capitalist infrastructures shape social relations even during collapse. Drawing on primary sources from the Internet Archive — contemporary reviews, promotional materials, production documents, and home video essays — alongside secondary scholarship on horror, urban space, and political economy, this study traces how the film’s representation of the mall reframes bodies as commodities and consumption as a form of necropolitics. Methodologically, the paper combines close film analysis with archival historiography to map the film’s reception history and evolving cultural meanings from 1978 to the present. The conclusion contends that Dawn’s enduring resonance lies in its ability to reveal the persistence of capitalist logic under extreme conditions and suggests avenues for future research on media, memory, and material culture in late-20th-century genre cinema.
