MCT:October 10, 2008In 1985 this zombie movie virtually went by unnoticed except for many Romero fans. It was virtually dead a week or two after it hit the theaters. Many attribute its failings to the other many horror films released that year including "Re-Animator", "Fright Night", and "Return of the Living Dead". All these movies were R though and day was not. Romero stuck to his guns and made a very gory movie. Unfortunately, when dawn was released there were still many independent theaters, but by 1985 the chains had taken over and one thing chains do is not show movies like this. So it went by unnoticed and those that did notice it usually had nothing good to say about it other than the zombies looked really good. So suffice to say, I wasn't expecting much when I bought this movie except the zombies would look good. However, I am happy to report that I was very pleasantly surprised. The movie mainly takes place in an underground facility though there is the scene at the beginning in the town. I wish there were more scenes above ground as the one there is, is very well done. In the underground facility there is a lot of bickering between some scientists and some army guys who look and act nothing like army guys. Then again who knows how long they have been down there so people are bound to crack. There are also a couple of guys who may be army, but act like civilians and definitely have cooler heads than the rest of them. There is also a doctor who is trying to teach the zombies how to be more docile. All the wildness and arguing eventually leads to a major meltdown which leads to of course zombies penetrating the base and this leads to a very good gory finish. Not quite as good as Dawn, but not as far off as I was lead to believe this movie is very entertaining.

MCT:October 4, 2008This zombie flick didn't quite meet up to my expectations. The majority of the story takes place underground and there is a great deal of time wasted with talking. I thought the Bub zombie character was fun. Besides that everything else was bland. If only the film was more like its opening sequences.

MCT:September 26, 2008Romero's trilogy is a feast for the..human fleshes!!!No,really,the hordes of manic zombies violating us,the entire population is one shockingly realistic vision.No other type of film (let alone this trilogy inspired the video game for youths like Resident Evil) is placed next to these epic films,the last part containing even emotional theories and common sense from the zombie side.

MCT:September 22, 2008Zombies! I like this one, fir score of zombies and a good plot, it has its gore and the acting is pretty good. A must see for zombie fans.

My favorite of the Zombie Movies! Military Soldiers and a Team of Scientist are inside a Underground Storage facility in Florida, trying to survive as Zombies take over again. Another favorite from George Romero. ;)

Not as good as Night or Dawn but still fucking awesome. It also has two of the most memorable characters in the history of cinema, Rhodes and Bub. Ehodes is a badass and looks like Bono.

Not nearly as bad as some fans make it out to be. It's not the best in the series, but there are far worse zombie movies out there.

not quite as good as dawn of the dead, but still really good. the soundtrack wasn't as good as dawn's either, but the effects were so amazing i could hardly believe what i was seeing. the movie itself is great and worth seeing multiple times

i liked this movie and it was pretty good for a zombie movie but i saw they remake before i saw this one and the remake sucks and i didnt like it ata lkl because it wasnt that good as the original one
and its about The Dead have conquered earth, leaving just small groups of people out of their clutches. One group made up of both scientific and military personal, hiding in a bunker somewhere in Florida tries to get in contact with other survivors of the zombie infestation, but find themselves quite alone in this new world. Desperately searching for a cure and therefore indulging in strange experiments to overcome this strange transformation into zombies, the scientists loose the faith of the military, resulting in a race against death while the zombies take over the facility.. Only common sense can save them now.. so if you like zombie movies then you should really see this and a very good zombie movie

MCT:August 25, 2008Sounds a lot like the Resident Evil series, only this time, they're trapped underground.
So literally, they're already six feet (if not more) under.
Not a very assuring thought. -

for those gore fest fans this is the perfect film for you blood,guts and stray body parts everything you want in a zombie film!

I don't like it as much as Dawn, because of the setting, but it's by George A. Romero which means it's a great, very well done zombie flick with a good ending.

Interesting ideas kicked around, impressive special effects for their day and the acting stays just the right side of hammy

The (up until recently!) final chapter of the Romero zombie trilogy sees a research installation operating on the ragged edge in a world seemingly populated by nothing but zombies. Easily the weakest of the original three films it lacks the impact of Night, and the suspense of Dawn. The acting is rather amateurish and not a great deal happens plot-wise but it has some memorable lines (when there is no more room in hell...) and an interesting attempt to expand on the idea rather than retreading the same ground. Easily the best characters are "Frankenstein", the scientist in charge of researching the phenomenon and his zombie sidekick Bub; the scene when they listen to his tapes is genuinely chilling in an "All work and no play..." kind of way! There are some low budget but inventive effects but the biggest drawback is ironically the strength of the opening; the scene of a completely deserted city populated entirely by zombies being roused into action by the presence of a rescue helicopter is easily the best part of the film and it unfortunately fails to deliver on the promise it shows. Still, despite it's flaws and a rather anti-climactic ending, it's a solid zombie flick with some nice ideas.

Out of all of Romero's dead films this has to be my favorite. The story and special effects still hold up till this day.

Of Romero's original trilogy of zombie films, this one is by far the most gory, disturbing, and dark. It's not quite as amazing or brilliant as "Night" and "Dawn", but it is still a really good movie that is done quite well. The special effects are magnificent, and are a definite highlight.

You want to put some kind of explanation on all this? Here's one as good as any other. We're bein' punished by the Creator. He visited a curse on us. Maybe He didn't want to see us blow ourselves up, put a big hole in the sky. Maybe He just wanted to show us He's still the Boss Man. Maybe He figure, we gettin' too big for our britches, tryin' to figure His shit out.

Day of the Dead is the third act of of George Romero's original Dead trilogy. Night of the Living Dead was the first encounter. Dawn of the Dead was civilization coming to grips with these events. Day of the Dead deals with a civilization collapsed from the outbreak that has consumed the world.
The story is about a group of military and science personnel who inhabit an underground base. Their purpose is to figure out a way to stop the dead epidemic. After just a month in this bunker the tension has reached a boiling point as the inhabitants are dwindling due to accidents and the belief that the head doctor is just taking his time in finding a solution.
A virtual gore fest with effects by the God of Blood Tom Savini (who also worked on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th) Day of the Dead is, like its predecessors, more about the conflicts between the remaining living than with the dead themselves. The living dead are like a huge MacGuffin while the interactions take center stage.
Even though it's not as great as Night or Dawn, Day of the Dead still represents Romero doing his best work. His the master of the zombie film. -

preachy and overreaching, but it has its breathtaking cinematic moments, like the amazing beginning sequence in the zombie-infested town, or the pet zombie's merry romp through the bunker's halls.

a very overlooked film and one of the best horror films of the 80s this is the second favorite in the series

Another Romero classic. Not as good as the first two but still enjoyable. Tom Savini's effects are amazing.

Not my favorite of the series, but still a great movie. Probably the 2nd strongest one! It's more of a continuation of Dawn than anything. George A. Romero is a legend in my eyes. Plenty of one-liners and gore in this gritty and raw zombie flick. As much as I hate to say it (especially since Land has Dennis Hopper in it), they should've shut the book on zombies after this one was made. I own the 2 disc set and cherish it dearly. I know Jeffrey Reddick personally, and you can't compare the remake that he wrote. This is classic Romero dammit!!!

The zombies flesh is a blue/grey color because their flesh is dead and cold.
