PLOT: 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

~ Interesting plot, good watch
Very
entertaining! The plot was fun and kept me very into the movie..Of coursem it
was a Romero film, and zombie fans world wide sing his praises! I loved Dr.
Frankenstein, his slightly insane personality was a delightful mix to this
enthralling movie. His portrayal of zombies that can learn was innovative. He
did it again in Land of the Dead, with a twist. I liked that these ones were
taught by people, where in Land they were simply evolving. The effects were
obviously 80’s, but still good, a lot better than some of the more recent
flicks of today.
