Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Chapter three of George Romero's mighty zombie trilogy has big footsteps to follow. Night of the Living Dead was a classic that revitalized 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 vigor--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 makeup effects could make even hardcore gore fans tear off their own heads in amazement. --Robert Horton

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Philosophy of science and medicine
This movie is a metaphor for the public response to AIDS--making unreasonable demands on scientists, who respond by overhyping the immediate value of their work (which all scientists do anyway). The exchange between Rhodes and Dr. Logan at the conference sums it up. "Civility must be rewarded, Captain. If it's not rewarded, there's no use for it. There's just no use for it at all!"
It also contains at least FOUR world-class character-acting demonstrations: Rhodes, Steele, Dr. Logan, ... Read More

Day of the Dead (Divimax Special Edition)
Loved this version of a classic zombie movie, very exciting from the very start! Like the idea of people trying to domesticate a dead person, if you can't stop them, use them....great!
Rating: - My personal favorite of the "Dead Series".
Keep in mind I'm reviewing the dvd not the film.
As for as the dvd goes I say it was great transfer. The first disc contains the film and commentaries by Romero, Lori Cardille, Tom Savini, and Cletus Anderson. There is also another commnetary by fellow Day fan Roger Avary.
Now the second disc it contains all the trailers and tv spots(as I know). Poster, Advertising, Behind the Scenes, Production stills, Memorabilia galleries, and also a zombie make-up gallery included(shows ... Read More
Rating: - If you're a self proclaimed zombie fanatic, and you for some reason don't own this disc, pick it up today!
My favorite of Romero's "Dead" series, and my favorite zombie flick of all time. This is the movie I compare every zombie flick I watch to. The scene where Rhodes has his head torn off is one of the best scenes in any movie ever.
The overall atmosphere of the film is disturbing, and its alot less light hearted than "Dawn."
If you're a self proclaimed zombie fanatic, and you for some reason don't own this disc, pick it up today!

Rating: - A MASTERPIECE OF ZOMBIE-HORROR! 9.5 OUT OF 10
First and foremost, I would like to thank my Amazon friend J-Train for recommending this sublime zombie movie to me. It truly blew away what I thought of zombie movies. This is a great film, that was unfairly panned by film critics and other people who gave it low review scores. This film, in my opinion is George A. Romero's true zombie-horror masterpiece.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: It's about a group of survivors who live in an old missile silo working on research for domestication and possibly a cure for ... Read More
