Let's play a game, how many Dawn of the Dead ripoffs can you spot:
- The blue SWAT suits with 4 zippers plus hats.
- The Goblins and their soundtrack.

The SWAT guys are introduced conducting a raid on a U.N. building, similar to the apartment raid by Roger and Peter in DOTD.
Two characters are made up of news people, Max and Lia. This is similar to Stephen and Francine in DOTD.
The "Civilian" Newsman (Stephen was a news traffic reporter, Max is a cameraman) Both end up getting eaten in an elevator that suddenly springs open (Romero did it better. LOL.)
Two characters are similar to Roger. Osborne dies because he's wrapped up in having fun and not being aware of his surroundings, which is the start of Roger's downfall in DOTD, (And he's got the short, blonde thing going) and Zantoro goes increasingly nutty as the film progresses and ends up being reckless, getting too close to the zombies while fighting them and ending up dead, which is eventually how Roger gets bitten in DOTD, whilst being in a crowd of them getting the tool bag.
The final two characters are accosted by a horde of zombies led by a character that was once one of the heroes (Flyboy in DOTD, Vincent here)
And it rips from Night of the Living Dead, the original. The original had a scientist that mentioned in a tv interview that an armless and legless cadaver that moved it's trunk. The same speech, nearly word for word, is stolen and used here.
Also, it has two parents which are squabbling, similar to NOTLD, and they have a child that's been bitten which later eats the father, AGAIN similar to NOTLD
I love to love my Lisa. -

Very good, very good indeed. Though this one had a naked woman running through the jungle with painted tits which no Romero movie had.
What are they doing? Why do they come here?
Some kind of instinct, memory, what they used to do.
