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

- The Underground Zombie Movie that refuses to be 2nd to none !!!!!
Yes This movie is a classic!!!!It gives you that unnerving feeling of gloom and doom like you are trapped and cant escape....however the movie is not completely taken in by zombie action which makes it that much better. How you say???? Its easy to be taken in by seeing people running from zombies or barely escaping death by zombie (the movie has its fair share of these scenes)but the overall story line and the acting take it to a different level....I really see this movie only gaining more underground ...

Rating: - Top notch zombie film and one of Romero's best, great stuff!.
Day of The Dead is usually seen as the weakest of the trilogy by hardcore Romero fans although I'm not sure why, this however is by no means a bad film in fact it's one of Romero's best films that he's ever made and definitely one of my favorites. The film was plagued from the start with budget problems and script re-writes. This was originally supposed to be Romero's epic, but due to the problems that George Romero was going through the finished product turned out quite different. If Romero had had better ... Read More
Rating: - Romero's Masterpiece!!
This has to be my favorite of the trilogy, by far, with Dawn coming in a close second. Each character plays a key role in the development of the movie & moves the story forward. It's been said that the script was over-written (too much cursing, in other words), but I think it just adds to the realism of the setting; if I were one of the few remaining humans around I wouldn't care much about who heard me curse either. This movie took Dawn to a whole new level, and we see the human population growing smaller ... Read More
Rating: - Another great Romero movie
This is the third movie in George A. Romero's "dead" series. It takes place after the hit "Dawn of the Dead" and doesnt dissappoint. Although there isn't as much action as in Dawn, it's still an excellent movie. The reason I purchased this movie is because I've been a fan of George Romero's work and I've seen the movie before. I've always liked it and now that I have a PS3 I wanted to see it on blu ray. Despite it being a movie made in 1985, the picture and sound is still INCREDIBLE. I'd highly recommend this ... Read More
Rating: - Grade A classic
Out of all 5 dead movies Day Of The Dead is my all-time favorite, it's dark, bleak and it times damn right horrific.
The film kicks off with a nightmare scene that Sarah played by Lori Cardelle, she is one of the survivors that's held up in a missile silo that she shares with a group of scientists and soldiers who are at each others necks about how to deal with the zombie problem topside, as tensions increase, the situation gets worse and all hell breaks lose.
The acting is very good ... Read More
