Directed by George A. Romero
Day of the Dead, the third and concluding chapter in George Romero's zombie trilogy is the most distinctly 1950s-style science fiction version of the lot. Set in Florida, as the film begins the dead have taken over the world, outnumbering humans 400,000 to one. The handful of surviving humans have taken refuge in an underground missile silo and argue and yell at each other like players in a Rod Serling Twilight Zone episode. Among the survivors are Sarah (Lori Cardille) -- a scientist who is trying to reverse the process whereby the dead turn into flesh-eating, irrational zombies -- and Dr. Logan (Richard Liberty) -- an out-of-his-mind psychologist who wants to capture the zombies and turn them into domestic help. Things heat up when the military tries to take over the scientific experiments. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

"This came on BBC 2 the other night,and i thought,lets give it a go..I pretty much loved it..and i'm not a "gore" fan or anything..I found it very upbeat and life-affirming. I liked the way,there was no exposition, i didnt need it,even though i have not seen the previous films. The flashbacks that the main character has, just "grabbed" me straight away.I cant remember seeing Lori Cardille in anything else,nor any of the others come to think of it,but this was pretty much perfectly ca " [More]

"The opening scene is the shit, I love that feeling of an abandoned, havoc wrecked upon town full of zombies and shit waiting to bestolen. I wish he'd've had the money to shoot it the way he originally wanted, in the full script theres shoot out scenes between some guys on some docks, and zombies and shit, I dunno I wish he could've fit it all in " [More]

"Who can resist this George Romero classic: George Romero's The Crazies involves a biochemical warfare virus code-named "Trixie" that gets into the water supply of Evans City, Pennsylvania. It has two equally unpleasant effects, either killing its victims outright or driving them hopelessly insane. The military descends on the town like a plague of locusts, quarantining the area and dragging the frig " [More]

is neutral about it.
The last, to date at least, of George Romero's living dead films is in many respects the least interesting, although it's not for a lack of ambition. Set in a claustrophobic underground missile silo long after the zombies have taken over the surface, it populates its creepy milieu with two competing factions: soldiers and scientists. One party seeks a logical solution to the zombie problem, even going so far as to attempt to domesticate a soulful-looking walking corpse. The other seeks only survival. The most blatantly allegorical of the Dead films, it's also the muddiest and least resonant, with its attempt to connect its story to Reagan-era America coming off as too self-conscious when compared to its predecessors. Too talky by far, it comes alive in a gory finale, and while still memorable than most horror films, Romero fans have come to expect more from the director and his signature series. ~ Keith Phipps, All Movie Guide
