Summary: A worthy installment (contrary to popular beilief)
Review: A lot of people tend to say this is by far the weakest in the series but I strongly disagree. I'm not saying it's the best but I think the each chapter in the "Living Dead" trilogy had something the others didn't and there all great in their own respects. Night of The Living Dead was a very tense film and focused a lot on creating a creepy and claustraphobic atmosphere which the other two clearly are lacking. Dawn Of The Dead was a grandiose epic spanning over two hours (unprecedented for zombie movies and horror movies in general even by todays standards). It rose the bar for what horror movies could actually be, and no installment in the trilogy or just about any horror movie before or since has been able to capture this kind of movie (although the original script for Day of The Dead would have given it a run for its money). Day of The Dead's most redeeming quality is it's spectacular zombies and great special effects(that in my opinion haven't been topped to this day). These zombies and special effects absolutley trounce the black and white humanesque zombies of NOTD and the blue zombies of DOTD and the same goes with the gore which is absolutley great in Day. But along with all this I also feel there is a good story and a very apocolyptic feel behind it all. I mean most actors do a good job of displaying a small band of people struggling to survive and possibly find a cure at what seems to be the end of the world(granted, I don't think the preformances are oscar worthy but quite good by horror standards). And although you may find the beginning slow and boring, if you listen to the dialogue it's actually quite interesting and plus the climax of the movie just about makes up for any problems you might have with it). So don't just write of Day as a mediocre conclusion, if you actually take a closer look I think you will find it is quite the opposite.

Summary: Widescreen or Fullscreen?
Review: My first exposure to Day of the Dead came via a scratchy and beat up VHS edition that had seen far too many rentals. The picture was grainy and the audio was substandard at best. This new DVD edition was a perfect way to amend the travesty of that abused VHS copy. The DVD transfer is fantastic and the audio is astounding. The extra features are wonderful and really give a great insight into the making of this movie. My only complaint is that the movie is advertised on the back cover as being widescreen, yet the movie was in fullscreen. My friend and I could not track down an option to choose between full and wide. Has anyone else run across this problem?

Summary: Submitted for your consideration
Review: First, my fan credentials: I saw "Night of the Living Dead" in a western Pennsylvania theater on its original release, and many more times at the local drive-in; I can whistle the theme from "Chiller Theater" since I rarely missed a broadcast on WIIC Channel 11 in Pittsburgh, and finally, I am among those who think "Day of the Dead" is the absolute best of the thrilogy. So, I won't review the film itself, for I'd only gush more than the torrents of screen blood unleashed by Tom Savini & crew's spectacular makeup effects. I will say, however, that Howard Sherman's performance as Bub is every bit as astonishing as Karloff's in the original "Frankenstein" for its pathos and humanity beneath the surface of the beast. This new two-disc DVD? Wonderful in every way. Spectacular transfer and near-pristine audio. Extras abound and are well-worth repeated viewings. Separate commentary tracks are equally good. If you are a fan of this movie, you will want this one, trust me. And, more importantly, if you are among those who initially dismissed this great movie, perhaps now that you are a bit older and the world has gotten a bit more chaotic, you might give this another look. You may be pleasantly surprised by how terrific it is!

Summary: Best Zombie movie ever!!
Review: George.A.Romero the genious behind the best zombie movies has created his final master piece DAY OF THE DEAD.
Day of the dead has to be the best from his zombie trilogy.
The reason is he made Day of the dead, alot more realistic as compared to the previous parts.The gore scenes were horrific but cool at the same time.The blood and brains looked alot more real then Dawn of the dead, as the Dawn of the dead had bright blood,which made it look like red Dulux paint.Rumours have spread that the actors and actresess who played as zombies in this movie had to eat real raw chickens and other animals to make it look real as possible. If you find it hard to belive, i advise you too watch it yourselves then hearing it from me. Remember, You have been warned

Summary: Amazing...
Review: When I saw "Night of the Living Dead" two years ago for the first time, I was amazed. "Day of the Dead" is the third and final film in the "Night of the living Dead" series. I was suprised by the amazing makeup effects, and the gracious gore. "Day of the Dead" is not scary, but it is a great film, directed by George Romero, one of my favorite directors, along with Sam Raimi and Ridley Scott. The box art and design is really cool in this edition. It is a paper and plastic case, and it folds out and has a great informational booklet, designed to look like a pad of paper. All in all, this DVD is a great buy, and worth it.

Summary: The Living Dead Trilogy redux
Review: The final chapter of George A. Romero's "Living Dead" Trilogy is an exercise of digestive tolerance. I once had this film playing when a group of friends came over. Among them was a little blonde cutie named Cora. She took one look at the screen, which showcased a pile of human innards plopping to the floor like a cherry pie someone dropped, and ran out of the room. Poor girl couldn't handle it. Heh. I still think it's funny. That said, I don't need to reiterate that "Day of the Dead" is a film of shocking gore content, created with such authenticity by makeup effects maestro Tom Savini that it's no wonder if you do feel the urge to expel some nachos. Of the trilogy that exists today as probably the best in horror history, "Day of the Dead" was released to awful reviews back in 1985, when happy endings were a must for critical praise and box office return. For George Romero to create a film that not only went as far as anyone had dared to go with gore effects in addition to being depressing and psychologically in depth was not only daring, but back in Reagan's 80s, it was preposterous. How dare he! In case you can't tell, my sarcasm glass runneth over. This is a film that, like its two previous installments, was a reflection of the times we lived in. In 1968, the original zombie masterpiece, "Night of the Living Dead," was a paranoia tale reflective of the Cold War's very heavy on-set, after such disasters as the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Communism in America was something very highly feared, and radiation was something the average homeowner knew little about, but feared nonetheless. Americans seemed very quick to turn on each other in a crisis, and in this film, we have demographics from all over crammed into a single house during an unexplained phenomenon that has the dead rising from the grave. They turn on each other and in the end, they all lose. Wow... pretty awesome stuff. In 1979, when shopping malls were first coming to existence, George Romero created "Dawn of the Dead," which depicted American at its most consumeristic. Completely involved only in our ability to consume, even the zombies couldn't keep away from the mall, and in the end, even the "civilized" humans were shooting each other to be first in line for the bank with no tellers. I'm still debating over whether this film had a happy ending, but I actually don't care. It's an impeccable masterwork. "Day of the Dead," as I said, was a product of Reagan's 80s. In a virtuoso scene of excellent dialogue, Romero's traditional leading black man with an entertaining and remarkably thick Jamaican accent delivers some real insight into the times. He says that the best course of action would be to acknowledge the loss of society and move away from the underground tombstone they inhabit, and live out the rest of their days on a tropical island, maybe have some children and teach them to never go back to that dank place to get the records of what once was. Why? Because it's really not worth it. The human race destroyed itself with their own inattentiveness, and now they are paying the price. Bam! This during the time when Patrick Bateman was killing people based on having better looking business cards than he had. Critics of "Day of the Dead," Roger Ebert included, picked on this film for having unlikable characters and nothing for us to relate to. Well, you know what? That's kind of the point. Unlikable military figureheads and overworked scientists are not your prototypical neighbors, and we have never been locked in an underground bunker for years at a time. We wouldn't know what that's like, but you know what? What if that was all that was left? How depressing would that be? And how fast would you become one of these people if you were in their shoes? Ouch. It carries a bit of a sting with it. But it's worth thinking about, and George Romero thinks it through well.

Summary: This is garbage
Review: I loved "Night of the Living Dead" because it was scary. I loved "Dawn of the Dead" because of the fantastic special effects and the obvious humor/parody. I hate this third movie because it is not scary, it lacks humor and it's just plain stupid. The basic premise is that the government is no longer functioning because the zombies have overrun the country. That's pretty farfetched, to begin with. Then, we learn that an obviously unbalanced doctor is trying to housebreak one of the zombies. Why in the world would anyone do that? Didn't we learn our lessons from pit bulls? This movie used up my tolerance to stupidity by the 30-minute mark. Do not buy it, do not rent it, do not get it on pay-per-view. If you must see it, wait for it to come around on cable. Better yet, go watch something else.

Summary: Want Zombies? Need Romero.
Review: They walk, they moan, they bite chunks of meat off of living human beings- What's not to love about zombies? George Romero seems to adore them because this is his third installment of the "Dead" series and possibly his best. I have to admit that I got downright giddy when I heard this movie was being released on DVD. Not only did I get to see the unrated version of the film in Widescreen format, but I also got a wealth of DVD extras. Although many are critical of Romero for setting this movie underground, I find it more than fitting. While the Dead have left their graves to frolic in the sun, the living are forced to fill them to fight amongst each other. In one corner, Romero places a band of wigged out Army goons. In the other corner, a handful of mad scientist research nerds patiently await the sound of the bell. When the bell finally rings, both groups come out swinging only to blow the ceiling off their underground refuge. The open ceiling invites a sea of hungry zombies to feast off their innards, fingers, eyeballs, gizzards, and other icky oogy body parts. It's really quite disgusting, but I have to admit that I love it. Once you finish watching the movie, you can dive into the extras. Both commentaries are worth a listen. I highly recommend the Behind the Scenes footage of Tom Savini and his army of Special Make-up Effects Artists. Having never been a fan of digital special effects, it's good to learn how they did it in the good ole days. P.S. I do not recommend the eating of naturally-cased frankfurters while watching this film.

Summary: THE BEST IS YET TO COME
Review: For sure buy this DVD, you must..but I hate the story, always have..the effects are great, but I am waiting for that perfect "walking dead" movie that makes you believe it's happening. "DAY" fails, because noone would act they way these characters do and they are not likeable. But own it for the great beginning scenes of the city , the cave scenes and the good ending.
