Editorial Review - Amazon.com
Chapter three of George Romero's mighty zombie trilogy has big footsteps to follow. Night of the Living Dead was a classic that revitalized 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 vigor--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 makeup effects could make even hardcore gore fans tear off their own heads in amazement. --Robert Horton
Philosophy of science and medicine
A Customer Review by Theodore Shulman
This movie is a metaphor for the public response to AIDS--making unreasonable demands on scientists, who respond by overhyping the immediate value of their work (which all scientists do anyway). The exchange between Rhodes and Dr. Logan at the conference sums it up. "Civility must be rewarded, Captain. If it's not rewarded, there's no use for it. There's just no use for it at all!"
It also contains at least FOUR world-class character-acting demonstrations: Rhodes, Steele, Dr. Logan, and Bub. These make up for poor work in the protagonists' roles.
I object to the character of John the pilot. The only black character is also the superstitious anti-rationalist who wants to find an island and loaf!? A noble savage? Pardon me for being PC but I expected something less ham-handed from Romero.
It's a flawed masterpiece but everyone interested in medical technology and society should see it. Oh yeah, the eaten-by-zombies scenes are very effective too, and Tom Savini should get an award just for the black female zombie who gets loose and bites someone. She is about as scary and repulsive as it gets.

Day of the Dead (Divimax Special Edition)
Loved this version of a classic zombie movie, very exciting from the very start! Like the idea of people trying to domesticate a dead person, if you can't stop them, use them....great!
