Day of the Dead has a great scene with a zombie listening to a Walkman. Zombies enter the 80's in this very enjoyable horror that's not as good as the previous two but is still one of the best in the genres!
Lori Cardille, Terry Alexander, Joseph Pilato
A small group of military officers and scientists dwell in an underground bunker as the world above is overrun by zombies.

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 Da...( read more)

The plot is amazing, but the execution not so much. The acting was pretty bad, even for a movie not requiring much talent. It's worth watching for the crazy experiments on zombies, great effects. It just seems that not as much effort was put into this as there was for its predece...( read more)

Part of Romero's original dead trilogy (but he has gone on to do Land of the Dead & Diary of the Dead) is not nearly as good as Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead. The zombies have a little more depth (Bub anyways) but the rest of the characters suffer in the shallowne...( read more)

July 26, 2008You 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.
