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 was born in 2000 and movies like this reminds me I was born to late. I saw this movie when I was 13 and have loved it ever since. Not scary just a fun watch.
Romero at his 80s best.
Five skulls. By far the best that George R. Romero had to offer.
I've seen this movie multiple times, and it still leaves me feeling uncomfortable at the thought of underground zombies. This is a certified classic of one of the best horror films of all time. Modern horror films try so hard to have a build up to something that usually is anticlimactic, but not this film! Right away you get the sense of disaster and that this world has been ravaged. This is also one of Tom Savini's best SFX. The characters are well crafted, and you can't help but feel for them one way or another. Buy a physical copy of this film if possible, and enjoy the masterpiece that this film.
I have not seen this in forever and did not remember it very well but it was good, some characters are interesting some not but it took a bit to get good but once it did I was satisfied.
