[@lastofmygeneration]

@Christopher McMillan The movie didn't do well because people were still so hung up on the feel and experience of Dawn of the Dead and its massive success - they wanted more of the same from Day of the Dead, but it's a different movie entirely, and far more oppressive in tone. The movie makes you think and audiences weren't expecting such a cerebral zombie after Dawn of the Dead. Add on top of that the fact that the marketing for the film was just awful... the people running promotion didn't know how to sell this movie to audiences or critics. They also had their budget cut to a third of what they requested for the film, and the movie was a limited release, as well as having a mature rating. It was a total mess. Thankfully they recovered their losses when the movie came to VHS and the movie found a much larger audience there.

Some of this they talk themselves down, I consider Day to be the second best film after Dawn. There is no way it is not a masterpiece, and also Joe Pilato plays Rhodes so well, I never once thought it was unrealistic. Also the score is a work of art. I hate to think these people don't really think that there's people out there who consider it the highest form of art. I had no idea some Romero fans of the day werent impressed, I saw this in the 90s, 2 days after Dawn, and was absolutely blown away. Also I think Savini would make a great Rhodes, and also that the film it is is probably better than the film that was planned, as Romero even said. The end confused me but I would never boo :-) Great docu thanks very much. Amazing!

And Day has been my favorite ever since. And i always took the ending to mean that most of the movie was her reliving things that actually happened in her dreams, with more than a bit of nightmare logic thrown in.

It's been awhile since I read that 'Dead Reckoning' script (this was before 'Land Of The Dead' was even in production, maybe during?) and I seem to remember one of the story's biggest flaws was having way too many characters. I also wasn't crazy about the "remote-controlled undead special forces" bit either, but that's just me. I dug the "class war" aspect--which they ended up exploring in 'Land'--but I preferred the way the Kaufman character (or whatever his name was in the script) went out in the script (devoured alive after attempting to seek refuge inside a tanning bed) rather than his demise in the film (an explosion).

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

After watching most of George A. Romero's works, and reading the initial prototype film script for his interpretation of the first Resident Evil, I wish he got to direct the Resident Evil film series. It would have been both truer to the video game source material and added to the worldbuilding of the series. It would have allowed him to expand further upon the ideas unique to the Resident Evil franchise as well allow him to continue expanding on the philosophy and ideas that his Living Dead trilogy began and which Resident Evil picked up, as the creators of Resident Evil admit that they were strongly inspired by George A. Romero's works. Wes Anderson's RE films are a mess in terms of vision. They lack a cohesive message and direction, and feel extremely derivative, more like a series of action vignettes inspired by so many other different films than one whole and continuous progression, like Romero's works.

Honestly I've read the Day of the Dead script, the unfilmed version. I don't much care for it. I much prefer the film we got. It's fantastic. I'm not always on the same page as Romero politically, but I think Day of the Dead is probably the best of the zombie movies. At least, to me. It's the one I love the most. It's from my favorite decade, it's got a great soundtrack, it's got great zombies by Tom Savini, a great performance by Joe Pilato... and how can you not love BUB?

[@andy7666]

A brilliant film. The atmosphere of the movie is just great, you really feel they are utterly DOOMED from the start.. A shame he never got to make Road of the Dead, I didn't even realize he had passed away.. :(

[@gdgbjbfgcbjn]

Man a great documentary for a great movie! Saw it in the theater when i was 9 and have been obsessed ever since! Takes me back to a time when things were simple...for me anyway. This movie is a gem and im glad more people are tuning in to George Romeros genius!

[@dazwannawzad9272]

Dawn, Day and Land are my fav Romero films by far. And the score in this didnt bother me at all, I thought it fit the tone of the movie quite well and some of those tunes still play in my head for days after watching this great film.

[@ZheadMonkey]

Georges best and a testament to the work of Tom Savini - Titans, both.

[@SolidusScott87]

All 85 minutes of this documentary just blew right by me. The care and love that went into the making of Day of the Dead only makes my appreciation for it grow.

[@Badvibesdude]

This movie has aged so well and John Harrison's score is brilliant. It really takes me back to my late adolescence I'm the late 1980s and early 1990s. I saw a clip of this on some news presentation about gore in movies and it scared the hell out of me. Zombies always bugged me in a way nothing else in horror could. I couldn't even look at the box when I went to the video store, but eventually I worked up the courage (with some help from my friends) to rent it. I still own a VHS copy.

[@Emulous79]

As a kid this was my first movie zombie experience after seeing Thriller maybe a year or two before. Freaked and shocked me at the time. I even remember the eerie howling noise in the trailer, then the arms burst out... still get chills! A masterpiece of a a movie. When 28 Days Later and Resident Evil came out it didn't have the same impact.

[@danielnhowell8534]

I remember as a kid going to the video store and seeing g the poster for this movie. It gave me nightmares Everytime I'd go there . It wasn't until many years later I actually started to love zombie movies. This is a total masterpiece!

[@zillsburyy1]

DAY OF THE DEAD (the best zombie makeup in film history)

[@BaronOfAnarchy]

Man I hope they take the original script and make it into a graphic novel at least.

[@mfcblaze6983]

This was the first ever zombie film I see one of the best in the dead series

[@Kilian600]

Romero's third installment, but for me, it's THE best Zombie movie ever made. Period.

[@WilliamPalmer-y1n]

An absolute masterpiece on every level and one of THE most underrated movies ever made. A tour de force in make up and practical effects on par with 'The Thing'. My favorite will always be 'Dawn of..' for sentimental reasons and how much that movie impacted me when i first saw it aged 14 years old. It remains my favorite movie. But HANDS DOWN 'Day of..' is the better crafted movie on every level. The first three movies in Romero's zombie trilogy and untouchable in my opinion. Romero is a master visionary and director. Always makes me laugh that all of his contemporaries like Scorcese, Spielberg, Friedkin etc all loved and respected him so much but the scumbag suits in Hollywood always saw him as a pariah. Goes to show that no amount of money can ever kill true creativity, and George kept his integrity by refusing to play the Hollywood game. RIP GEORGE A. ROMERO and thank you for bringing the dead to life.

[@leejunfan6]

Fantastic film and personally I think the score is creepier than its given credit for

[@montana7]

This and Return of the living dead are my favorite.

[@jamesobrian1643]

Ya know, as far as the acting in Return goes, I felt it was top-notch. Especially the attic scene, where the old dude is contemplating shooting the girl in the head as her boyfriend tries to bust through the attic door. I realize the movie was kinda campy, but still a great performance.

[@captiankirkgames4385]

Ant Live my top 4 day dawn night return of living

[@maskedathiest]

this has been my favorite movie for 30 years. i remember watching this for the first time at 6 years old. thinking it was something special. some people play music as their backround house noise. i turn on day of the dead.

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

maskedathiest yeah when you are a kid Romero's films are intense as hell, completely scary.

[@samnieves8158]

I also do this. You can hear Rhodes yelling from my place at least once a day.

[@simontempler3239]

Not sure why but this was my fav of the three movies..But Dawn Of The Dead was an amazing film !!

[@umbrella0326]

When I saw this film in the theatre, I wasn't very impressed. And like many Kubrick films, appreciation can take a while. Just like this film. That's in a way a compliment to the artist.

[@iainwestwood7379]

A film ahead of its time👍

[@grease_monkey6078]

Richard did an amazing job as Logan, his facination with the undead's function and what drives them. I loved his explanation of the brain activity and his enthusiasm.

[@derrickforeal]

This was the best of the zombie genre films period. If i could pick one to carry me it would be day of the dead.

[@whostolecarlosrox]

Loved this movie for a long time. Funny though, I didn't like it much when I first saw it around age 10. The picture quality on VHS was very poor, super dark. Rewatched it last week and it's even better than I remember. Amazing movie. My favorite Romero Dead movie.

[@Flip4910]

I'm sorry this movie didn't get the pop that it deserved, I really am. It's an amazing piece of cinema, just amazing. I'm so happy that today it gets the recognition it deserves!!!!

[@edskt_]

This is incredible, and I love this movie, Rest in peace George A. Romero, thanks for everything.

[@misaeltoral508]

This movie is definitely my favorite of the trilogy. The gore is top notch, Bub, Rhodes and Frankenstein were a great triumvirate of characters that played off each other very nicely. Also, the suspenseful opening left quite the impression in 8 year old me. I love this movie.

[@maximadrvr217]

I wish Gary Klar read these to know how much he is appreciated as an actor (and even in the documentary including him)

[@Heitor328]

Critics don't know shit. They only know how to praise what is the popular flavour of the week, or the studios that pay them. How can art be "judged" by one time watching or by comparing to what you wanted it to be? Film critics are bullshit and Day of the Dead is maybe the greatest Romero's film.
