Chapter three of George Romero's mighty zombie trilogy has big footsteps to follow. Night of the Living Dead was a classic that revitalized a certain corner of the cinema, and Dawn of the Dead was nothing short of epic. Day of the Dead, however, has always been regarded as a comedown compared to those twin peaks--and perhaps it is. But on its own terms, this is an awfully effective horror movie, made with Romero's customary social satire and cinematic vigor--when a "retrained" zombie responds to the "Ode to Joy," the film is in genuinely haunting territory. The story is set inside a sunken military complex, where Army and medical staff, supposedly working on a solution to the zombie problem, are going crazy (strongly foreshadowing the final act of 28 Days Later). Tom Savini's makeup effects could make even hardcore gore fans tear off their own heads in amazement. --Robert Horton

Day of the Dead (Divimax Edition) Reviews
| 115 of 130 people found the following review helpful  "The Darkest Day of Horror the World Has Ever Known", By This review is from: Day of the Dead (Divimax Special Edition) (DVD) The third--and possibly the final--entry in George Romero's DEAD series, 1985's DAY OF THE DEAD was initially panned by both critics and horror fans. Many complained that, in spite of the much improved special FX, the film did not live up to the creepiness and the literacy of the groundbreaking first film of the trilogy, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968), nor was its content equal to the offbeat humor and satirical subtext of the second film, DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978). Thus, it was simply written off as another exercise in shock value. But in the time that has passed since the initial release of DAY OF THE DEAD, many fans and critics alike have grown to regard the film as a worthy entry in the series, with many claiming it has become their favorite of the three.DAY OF THE DEAD is a claustrophobic character study set almost entirely in a secured underground military bunker. The story picks up some months after the end of DAWN OF THE DEAD, with the earth now nearly overrun by the...

But you're not sure whether or not to watch this film because of the mixed reviews it received. My recommendation is that you should rent this film and watch it twice and if you liked the film buy the Anchor Bay remaster widescreen version.The plot to Day of the Dead is simple. The world has been conquered by zombies, as seen in Day's predecessors. There are only 12 survivors left in Florida and they've taken refuge in an underground salt mine and silo. There's heated conflicts between the soldiers and the scientists and civilians and by the end, thousands of zombies pour into the silo and wreak graphic havoc. Yes, Day of the Dead is extremely graphic and gory (It's probably the most violent and gory American horror film ever made) as most zombie films are. But this... Read more 22 of 23 people found the following review helpful Incredibly underrated., By A Customer This review is from: Day of the Dead [VHS] (VHS Tape) Day of the Dead is more talky than its predecessors, but what the characters have to say are usually interesting. I've read a lot of comments about a lack of likable characters. That's not really true, since you'll find plenty to admire about the film's two lead characters, Sarah and John, as well as Billy, the electronics expert. Some of the film's best moments involve them talking about what should be done in the future and what hope is left.This is director George Romero's last zombie film to date, and it's easily one of the best, at least as good as Dawn of the Dead, or so I felt. Lucio Fulci's Zombie is incredibly overrated, and so dull, but Day of the Dead makes for compelling viewing. Let's face it, anybody curious about this movie will wonder about the zombie action. I'm glad to say that I felt that Day of the Dead had the best zombie action I have ever seen. There isn't as much of it as in Dawn, but the film's last 20 minutes are absolutely nonstop, crosscutting... Read more |
