First came Night of the Living Dead, then Dawn of the Dead..Now the darkest day of horror the world has ever known... It was the darkest day for this legendary series... While boasting without a doubt the best FX in the series, Day lost out where the other two succeeded...Story and characters. Did anyone really care when any of the army men died? Or when Miguel got bitten? I didn't, and no one else did either....While Night and Dawn had just so-so effects (orange blood in Dawn?), the stories were great....
George, I know there has to be one more story to be told in this series....please find it and make it... Don't let the sun go down on this Day
You know what, at the time, I stood by this review. But, with the new feature the IMDb is offering, I can finally come back to this and say...I was wrong. "Day of the Dead" is a great film..it just took awhile to get what George was driving at. This film is a scathing look at how isolation and claustrophobia can cause people to snap under the weight of the developing situation. Brilliant look at human emotion under great strain. While not "Dawn of the Dead", "Day" succeeds on a deeper darker level. Good film after all, and more than well worth a watch.
