There's no denying it, George Romero's original Dead trilogy is the greatest and most influential trilogies in all of horror, or at the very least the zombie genre. DAY OF THE DEAD is perhaps the goriest of the lot, with so many great characters, zombies, story and blood and guts. This Arrowdrome DVD is perfect for those in need for some zombie action whose wallets are slightly empty. The quality of this DVD is top notch, with a very interesting commentary, a couple of featurettes, an informative booklet and awesome reversible artwork. It's a great package especially at the price it is!
Highly recommened for those you've yet to see DAY OF THE DEAD and dont want to spend too much of their hard earned cash.

Purchased as part of the four disc boxset c. 2002.
My view is that this is the best of Romero' zombie films to date.
Romero executes the last days with a dispassionate and (possibly) very gory sardonic humour.
Brief Synopsis - "Blackadder' Darling" in charge of the "war" against zombies; The head scientist (nicknamed Frankenstein) trying to domesticate them (zombies,soldiers and civillian survivors), civillians agog at the mismanagement by the army and the scientists, and the grunts not getting a lot of time to do anything but complain, and die.
It's not subtle - but like Return of the Living Dead,Shaun..., Dawn... - the remake, Zombieland and the fourth of the trilogy- Land...) there is gore aplenty, and a lot of subtext, if you want it.
The payoffs are the equal of those in the 1st 2 movies. The effects are still jaw dropping - Mr Savini and his cohorts outdo themselves. The nearest match I can imagine, to the last 20 minutes of mayhem, would be to somehow get transported in to a Breughel or Bosch painting.
SPOILER ALERT Romero' characters do not comply to stereotype all the way through. They get subverted very soon after they are setup. One bad turn deserves another... The captain in charge , the scientist playing at God, the girl, the good time "boys" - are all stock , but watch how they develop or don't...
Romero does not appear to want us to get too attached to any of the main protaginists, as we had in Dawn and Night. The best character is dead... The overriding feeling is that anyone could be for the chomp... In deed have humans become just food?
This film goes further with the "progress" and regression elements that were hinted at in the first 2 movies. This is more than a Hollywood disaster movie (Think Will Smith in Legion has it tough???), This is gristley and gut wrenching (literally) but properly thought provoking and entertaining.
This is a classic 10 out of 5
