Day of the Dead is George Romero's 3rd instalment of his legendary dead trilogy series which all began in the 1960's when he created his first
zombie movie Night of the Living Dead, after that came his unforgettable gorefest Dawn of the Dead which came out in the 1970's and now
George Romero's, Day of the Dead was shot in 1985 and it shows us what exactly happened after the zombies have taken over the country
towns and malls & now the cites.
This movie shows that a group of military and the top leading scientist are underground in a bunker on the outskirts of Florida where they are
trying to come up with a cure for this terrifying zombie plague that has sweep though the country or even the world. The military goes out from
time to time to capture like specimens and they bring them back to the underground bunkers limestone mining cave where they store all the
zombies for Dr Frankenstein can do this experiments on the creatures and try to find a cure or any other ways with them. Dr Frankenstein works
out that these creatures are also holds vague memories of there past lives. This is where you get to see zombie icon Bub (Howard Sherman). A
zombie who can barely talk and understand and do what the doctor tells him to do, but for this to happen the doctor rewards Bub with treats
which are human remains of solders that have recently been bitting by zombies before turning rabid. This causes a lot of tension within the bunker
because the military are not patience anymore with the scientist. The military everyday risk there own lives and many solders have died and there
is only a handful of them left where the scientists just about out number the military now. So you can imagine how they are feeling knowing that
there are zombies above and below with them so there on alert 24/7. They start demanding and telling the scientists to hurry up and find a cure, if
not they are just going to get in the helicopter and fly the fuck out of there and head up state, while they are left to defend themselves without
any ammo. The chopper pilot refuses to leave anyone behind especially his friends which he classifies them as his family. Before you know it they
are split in two groups and they turn on each other, shooting at each other while running from zombies that have broken out of the barriers within
the bunker.
Now comes the gore, you see zombies ripping the head off a solider and tearing there guts out and heaps of good old zombie fun. If you enjoy the
Tom Savini's FX in Dawn of the Dead you are going to love Day of the Dead. As you notice in Dawn most of the zombies looked the same but Tom
really brings out the dead in Day of the Dead. The zombie skins are slightly discoloured skin, decayed and torn flesh.
Zombies even show the puncher wounds where they attacked before they became infected, but what i love the most was seeing the
dismemberments and disembowelments of the solders. Seeing the zombies chew the shit out of a helpless victim in front of the camera just spins
me out. George really captures the gore so well it really feels like your there in the actual room watching it happen with your very own eyes. Any
gore fan will love the FX in Day of the Dead. But like all movies Day of the Dead does has it flaws due to low budget restrictions. Also Day of the
Dead is the weakest link out of the whole trilogy, but it’s the most graphic zombie film out of the whole lot. Pity they didn't have more money to do
exactly what George wanted to do in the first place. Most zombie fans love it and some hate it, it’s hard to say what you yourself would think of it
until you actually rent it or buy on DVD, but i myself love Day of the Dead and i am happy to have this movie in my collection even though other
zombie fans hate it.
