Day of the Dead, chapter three of George Romero's mighty zombie trilogy, has big footsteps to follow.
Night of the Living Dead was a classic that revitalised 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 vigour--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 make-up effects could make even hardcore gore fans tear off their own heads in amazement.
