<p dir="auto">Released 40 years ago on this day–19 July, 1985–George Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD. The 3rd (and least) of the director's original zombie trilogy, DAY offered an incredibly bleak vision of a future in which the walking dead have entirely overrun humanity, both in the world outside and in the souls of those still theoretically living.<br />
A brief appreciation/evaluation:<br />

A profound statement from Socksss(ss), seasoned with a pinch of racism.</p>

But they all look like they just took a concrete bath.</p>

<p dir="auto">Love this film for both its unsparing bleakness and hardcore graphic in-your-face gore.<br />
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't know, when it comes to zombie pictures, "thought-provoking" is a pretty broad field<br />
I guess what I should've said is that it was the most serious and "talky" of Romero's zombie films. Dawn of the Dead, of course, is a tongue-in-cheek critique of American consumer culture but one can ignore that aspect of the film and just enjoy it as a great horror film. With Day of the Dead, the social/political statements are much more direct and in your face. It's hard to ignore who the "good guys" and "bad guys" are in this film and the whole brute force vs reason argument in dealing with the zombies. I think it was obvious which side Romero was on.</p>

<p dir="auto">I really loved Dawn. I remember showing the shopping mall sections to students and discussing the odd effect of a kind of forward-projected nostalgia–what would it be like to look back at malls when they were no longer in use? It's an oddly affectionate film. It took its time: leisurely camerawork, lovely soundtrack…. Those shots of the zombies clustering at the shopfronts were strangely moving….</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't generally do "top" lists but NIGHT and DAWN are my 2 favorite horror movies. They trade places for the #1 slot–whichever one is my absolute favorite at any given time usually just depends on which I've seen most recently. Great, great movies.<br />

<p dir="auto">I liked Day of the Dead, but I thought Dawn was much better. Night was the second best.</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't know, when it comes to zombie pictures, "thought-provoking" is a pretty broad field. This was the 2nd of Romero's zombie pictures I saw–on VHS and after NIGHT, and while the effects work and darkness of it blew me away, it seemed a pretty big step down from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (and was). When I first saw DAWN shortly after that, it made DAY look even poorer in comparison. It's definitely the least of that trilogy, by a fairly wide margin, but it's still a really good horror movie.<br />

<p dir="auto">In many ways, it's the most thought-provoking zombie flick ever made. Oh, and the bleakest one too (as you already pointed out). I've loved it ever since I first watched it on VHS video back in the day. A perfect ending to Romero's Dead trilogy. <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f480.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--skull" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":skull:" alt="💀" /></p>
