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.

I didn't like it as much as Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead, bit still really good.
What can I say? Romero the master of horror x
One of the best horror films of all time! I met Tom savini and multiple actors and actresses at a comic con! Great movie and staff!
I don't think this comes anywhere close to being a masterpiece. It's a mixed bag. The practical effects are outstanding and the best thing about the film, which is an enormous disappointment after the first two classics. It's a difficult watch because it relies on character interactions for most of its running time, and this doesn't work because the characters are uninteresting and the acting is cringe-worthy terrible throughout. One exception is Sherman Howard, who brings Karloff-level nuance and pathos to his role as Bub the zombie.
The 'Boss' zombie horror film. An 80s horror masterpiece and my 2nd all time favourite horror movie. Still the goriest horror I've ever seen, even The Walking Dead is tame compared to this film.
