Day of the Dead
Directed by George Romero
After a zombie apocalypse, scientists attempt to reverse the reanimation process and train zombies to abstain from eating people. But this being one of George Romero's films, the scientists and military enforcers at the underground lab facility soon wind up in deep trouble. As with his previous two zombie films, Romero inserts a commentary on the decade it was made - the '80s - connecting the walking dead to the homeless, the poor and people with AIDS. Controversial on its release, DOTD later found a group of champions who consider it one of Romero's best.

Like the previous Night and Dawn entries, Day of the Dead focuses on a bleak and despairing
All the zombies, all the gore. Great zombie movie. Highly recommend. We Love Bub.
Most distractingly dodgy Jamaican accent I’ve heard since Meet Joe Black.
A hood classic
Choke On 'Em! The dehumanisation of the human race in its final phase. In its last breath, the movies bleak and dark tones shine honestly and brutally. This isn't the comic book adventure of 'Dawn Of The Dead', this is the end. All the characters are miserable and cynical and it adds to the bleakness portrayed throughout. The magnum opus of special effects work, setting the standard back in 1985 that is yet to be beaten. Are the monsters outside truly as terrifying as the ones within? Prepare yourself for the darkest day of horror the world has ever known and find out for yourself.
