During an ever-growing epidemic of zombies that have risen from the dead, two Philadelphia SWAT team members, a traffic reporter, and his television-executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall.
Editor's Verdict
"Dawn of the Dead (1978) is a seminal horror film. While the setting of a shopping mall is often associated with consumerism and the holiday season, the narrative itself contains no explicit references to Christmas in setting, plot, theme, or iconography. Therefore, it definitively does not qualify as a Christmas movie."
