From Amazon.co.uk

Day of the Dead, chapter three of George Romero's mighty zombie trilogy, has big footsteps to follow. Night of the Living Dead was a classic that revitalised a certain corner of the cinema, and Dawn of the Dead was nothing short of epic. Day of the Dead, however, has always been regarded as a comedown compared to those twin peaks--and perhaps it is. But on its own terms, this is an awfully effective horror movie, made with Romero's customary social satire and cinematic vigour--when a "retrained" zombie responds to the "Ode to Joy", the film is in genuinely haunting territory. The story is set inside a sunken military complex, where Army and medical staff, supposedly working on a solution to the zombie problem, are going crazy (strongly foreshadowing the final act of 28 Days Later). Tom Savini's make-up effects could make even hardcore gore fans tear off their own heads in amazement. --Robert Horton --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best!
By K. Daniels on 19 Nov. 2011
Format: DVD
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood zombie, have a treat...
By Amazon Customer on 4 Nov. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
In my opinion Day of the Dead is the best of George A. Romero's Dead trilogy. Night was pure suspense, Dawn a satire, and Day a science v. nature parable. We learn what drives the zombies while also wondering if we should; the studies shown raise moral questions which are fun to chew. If it's the smartest, however, Day of the Dead also the goriest. There's more blood, entrails and dismemberment here than in the first two films put together.
In a masterful opening scene we meet Sarah (Lori Cardille), a tough scientist trapped underground with army psychos, including Captain Rhodes (Joseph Pilato) and Miguel (Anthony Dileo Jr.), fellow doctors Logan (Richard Liberty) and Fisher (John Amplas), helicopter pilot John (Terry Alexander) and radio operator Bill (Jarlath Conroy). Tensions rise as Logan pushes for more "specimens"; nicknamed Dr. Frankenstein, he's been studying the zombies' cognition. They keep a herd sectioned off and try "domesticating" them with strange tests.
Though the army guys are typical jarheads, a la James Cameron's films, the scientists aren't spotless. As cold as he is, Rhodes has a point; Logan and Fisher happily risk his men for their experiments then repay them by defiling their remains. Real conflict occurs between a quest for knowledge and a need to survive. In this respect you could argue that Day is also the darkest Dead film. It isn't as nihilistic as Night or as epic as Dawn, but it provokes troubling thoughts. Who's the real villain here, Rhodes or Dr. Frankenstein? Standing outside the fray are Bill and John, who waxes philosophical. This of course is a tradition; each film has a wise black man and a sympathetic white woman. Sarah, meanwhile, is the strongest and most likeable Dead heroine.
The soldiers' acting can be ropey.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsDay of the Dead
By A Customer on 8 Dec. 2004
Format: DVD
What a film!!!!! The first scene where we get the first taste of the claustrophobic atmosphere that surrounds the film is brilliant. The scene makes you jump out of your seat and you know you're in for a movie that'll be full of surprises.
The film has plenty of clever dialogue and, of course, plenty of gore (thanks to the brilliant special effects and the make-up skills of Tom Savini) . It might not be as long or have as many gore scenes compared to the classic Dawn of the Dead but is still enjoyable and terrifying at the same time.
There is dialogue that will make you laugh or get you thinking philosophically and dialogue that will keep you guessing as to what might happen to the survivors in the film. The characters are cleverly drawn together and the zombies are scary looking, bar a few who look like they having a day out in the studio!
You'll be reaching for the sick bag when you see the gory scenes like the one where one of the characters gets his "chest-flesh" bitten off by a zombie; the flesh, as it is bitten off, looks like the stretchy cheese you see on a pizza that hangs on the side of your mouth! You'll see plenty of body parts torn apart and eaten and plenty of zombies that look like they seriously need to see their dentist, as well as their dermatologist!
Romero keeps you guessing as to who are the real bad guys (only one woman not a zombie in the film and she's a goodie!) and you only find out in the last few scenes.
If you've seen the previous two Dead films and not Day then you'll love this film (If your're a real fan you'll realise that the actor who plays the Army Boss is the guy who was in Dawn of the Dead as one of the "cops" that escapes in a boat before the main characters fly off in the helicoptor)
Top marks for everything then to Romero for this third installment of the Dead Trilogy.
Buy the film! It's a true classic!

5.0 out of 5 starsTHE DARKEST DAY OF HORROR THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!
By BUB LOGAN on 8 July 2011
Format: DVD
DAY OF THE DEAD was the first zombie film i ever watched. I was about 15 and had never seen anything like it before, it genuinely terrified me, it sank its teeth into me and they're still firmly clenched there now.

Set in an underground missile silo, this particular group of post-zombie apocalypse survivors are not only having to battle the Zombie's but one another, as science and violence fight for supremacy. Should we study them, or should we kill them? Opinions are firmly divided here.

The claustrophobic catacombs in which the group co-habit create the perfect environment for the Zombie's and the survivors to unleash their equally horrific, unflinching violence.

The special effects, created by Tom Savini, are incredibly realistic and vivid, and the Zombies actually look and act as a walking corpse would. They decaying so they shuffle about everywhere, they dont sprint across the screen like they're on steroids! They just use mass attack tactics to ensure they catch their prey, and when they do catch up to the unfortunate ones the result is total body ripping carnage! The scenes in which some of the characters are literally torn into pieces are the most realistic set pieces of prosthetic gore that you will ever see. No CGI on show here folks, just buckets of animal entrails and blood, and oh how good it looks.

Although not as groundbreaking as 'Night' or as revered as 'Dawn', this in my opinion is the best Zombie film of Romero's career. There's just something about the grimness of the situation in which the characters are in and how they react to each other in an ever increasingly tense and taught atmosphere that, for me, makes the film very believable.Read more ›
