Review: In my opinon, this was the worst of the three dead movies. With that said though it is still a movie worth your time.

Summary: Brilliantly done, insanely real...
Review: A movie that looks like it must be based on a true story, it throws you into a world in which zombies are all too real and the characters fee like home. This is the most realistic zombie movies i've ever seen. It makes it seem as though you're in it, the way people act, the tensions between them, their way of going around things, the blood, gore, and zombies are all genuine if not fantastic. A truely underrated gem unlike most zombie movies, even the predecessors of this, Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead.
Everyone has their favorite of the trilogy, most people would probably easily say that Dawn was the best, some people would say Night, and few people say Day. I think that Day is easily the best. Night and Dawn influenced more than Day has and will ever influence but i think it's the most entertaining. The movie builds throughout the body of the film, it shows the reality of the situation and the mounting tensions between the characters. There is an all out gore, zombie attack scene in the end which makes the whole movie worthwhile to those who watch a movie solely on the gore value. Yet, it has enough storyline to please most fans of movies that don't enjoy those of the horror movie genre.
The Anchor Bay DVD is greatly restored, everything is crystal clear and it just adds to the reality of the experience. It has some great special features, including a 31 minute featurette which is great. A movie that is strong and vivid as Day is brilliant and i'm not sure why it was dismissed so easily by critics when it was originally released. It's a strong movie and to anyone who hasn't seen it, go and watch it, great movie.

Summary: a TRULY GENUINE FILM
Review: DAY OF THE DEAD IS ONE OF THE MOST OVERLOOKED FILMS EVER. IT IS MORE THEN A 'HORROR FLICK', IT'S GENUINELY A TRUE MASTERPIECE AND IT'S PLOT AND DIRECTION IS AMAZING. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EVER SAW IT AND IT'S GREAT. THE SECOND DISC IS LOADED WITH EXTRAS. I NEVER KNEW ROMERO'S TRILOGY WAS SO GOOD, STILL HAVE TO SEE DAWN OF THE DEAD! CAN'T WAIT!

Summary: Day of the Dead
Review: Ok, I don't like this movie a lot. In fact the only reason I watched it all the way through is to see the gore. The gore is disgusting and very well-done. Here are some reasons why I dislike this film; 1. It takes place mostly in the light 2. The profanity is stupid, there is no reason for 50+ f-words in this movie 3. It is way overrated. As always Anchor Bay has made a great DVD, jampacked with features. I only wish they wouldv'e done this kid of quality work to a movie like Airplane!

Summary: Simply put one of the best Zombie movies of all time
Review: When watching this movie it is hard to imagine that are coming up on the 20th anniversary for this movie, the special effects are absolutely amazing Tom Savini definitely deservers credit here for the amazing special work on the zombies. Now before I continue I should let you know I love horror movies and I personally believe this movie so different from a lot of the horror movies we are fed nowadays. The fear you feel while watching this movie isn't the sort of "make you jump out of your seat" fear, even though there are a few moments where you'll definitely be jumping. However the psychological fear of the movie (you are literally being overrun by these creatures who do not seem to fail pain, and think of nothing other than eating YOU) is enough to give you goose bumps if you think about it. You just have a complete sense of helpless, because regardless of what you do, they will keep on coming. The DVD itself has excellent picture quality and very good sound definitely a pleasure to watch and listen to. The special features, especially the documentary done by George A. Romero are also a very interesting. I never thought that any movie could top Dawn of the Dead but I honestly believe that this movie is just a little better. Absolutely recommended viewing if you are into horror/zombie movies. I can safely say that you will not be dissapointed with this purchase

Summary: Day of the Dead: Extreme gore+good acting=Great horror movie
Review: Let me just say that I bought this movie a few days ago on target.com. When I first got it and put it into my dvd player I was amazed. I own all the othe "Dead" movies and let me tell you I believe this is the best and strongest movies in the series. The acting in this movie was done extremely well and the scenario with all these people living in an underground base and struggling with control powers is pulled off pretty well. I especially liked Richard Liberty's character who was Logan or better known as "Frankenstein". I thought he portrayed the crazy scientist well. I hated Rhodes,who was the lead military head figure, and was extremely happy when I saw him die an excruciatingly violent and gory death. What made this a great horror movie was the well crafted special effects and gore. I think Tom Savinni is an awesome and great special effects artist. Some of the gore and death scenes in this movie were very awesome. The best was where a zombie's head was taken off with a shovel. Great movie. Just buy it. Worth all the money it costs. Also see the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Just as good as and maybe even better than the original.

Summary: Liked It More than Dawn of the Dead...It's True!
Review: I just bought this Dvd before even seeing the film, because of the great packaging and features it came with. I am truly glad I made that purchase, because this is my favorite Dead film now. The make-up by Tom Savini is his best to this day and holds up 19 years later. The zombies come off disgusting and imposing rather than cheesy and colorful as they were in "Dawn of the Dead." I understand that "Dawn" was suppose to be more like a gory comic book film and "Day" was to be more depressing and serious, but having now seen and bought both of these movies I like "Day of the Dead" a little more. Be sure you can take gruesome gore, because most of the blood and guts don't spill until the last 20 minutes, but these scenes challenge even "Dead Alive" (another great zombie flick by Peter Jackson) in gag worthy content. Hope George and Savini make one more, as they claim they might do eventually on the special features found on Disc 2.

Summary: the darkest day of horror the world has ever known
Review: Basically, this DVD edition of Romero's third "Dead" film is nothing short of awesome. Although it is not my favorite film in my horror collection (its pretty close, though), I would say that this DVD is probably the best peice of my collection. It is jam-packed with special features, and the video and audio quality are great. Anchor Bay definately did quite a job with this one.As far as the movie goes, it is really good. I had heard, of course, that it was the least of the three films in Romero's trilogy. While this may be so...it is only the least because the other two were so great. This is still a great, great movie...and maybe the most entertaining of the three. The zombies look great, the gore is well done, the plot is intense, and the overall post-apocalyptic feel is just spooky. Overall...this is a MUST HAVE for any horror fan.

Summary: Scary and under rated zombie flick
Review: The only gore or zombie film I've seen that's actually scary. The tension builds beautifully and is dramatically boosted by the very few, but very effective special fx scenes. The first 3/4 of the film is stunning and unique. After that it gets a bit same ol - the seemingly obligatory scenes of zombies munching away made me yawn...
