Shot through with claustrophobic chills and gruelling blood-letting, this heavy nightmare is not for the faint-hearted.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2024

Day feels like a movie that knows the conventions and is pulling them on like a flesh suit, rather than tearing them apart to see how they work.

The film’s strengths lies in it’s brilliant performance from its central female lead...

| Nov 10, 2023

Largely missing is the primal horror of the first film and the sharp satire of the second, yet what remains isn’t bad at all.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 14, 2023

There’s no doubt what Romero’s meaning is—and his movie remains potent not just because of the loving attention it gives to special effects involving throats being ripped out and heads being ripped off, but because of the question at its core...

Romero called Day of the Dead his favorite of his films. It's certainly his most challenging.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 12, 2022

Less successful than its predecessors... Day of the Dead can work as an example of voyeuristic masochism. [Full Review in Spanish]

This excellent slice of horror from Romero deals with the head-butting elements of science and military in a world ravaged by the zombie virus.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 3, 2019

Overall, I recommend Day of the Dead to all, especially the zombie enthusiast.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 30, 2018

Demonstrates you don't need to be bombed back into the stone age when you can reach that state by exercising your own stupidity. The subterranean setting is the tip-off: While the zombies evolve the humans devolve -- almost literally -- into cave men.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 15, 2013

The years have been kind to Day Of The Dead, however...And though it's still a disappointment in relation to its two predecessors, it has much to recommend it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2013

An indisputable classic.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 17, 2013

One of the most uneasy and unnerving horror movies ever created.

| Jun 13, 2012

The third leg of an entertaining and thought-provoking but not completely satisfactory 1950's zombie trilogy.

| Original Score: A- | Apr 9, 2011

This deconstruction is so encompassing that the climactic explosion of zombie mayhem - revealing and awesome though it is - is practically an afterthought.

| Original Score: A+ | Oct 28, 2007

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 14, 2007

It feels frustrated, embittered, made by a man who's fed up with the business side of the movie industry.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 29, 2007

A fitting conclusion to a remarkably astute series, a landmark in the horror genre.
