Portraying humanity, rather than the zombie horde, as the largest threat to itself was a smart move and an excellent departure from the first two films of this trilogy. The acting (with the sole exception of Terry Alexander's accent) is fantastic and contributes significantly to the film's absolutely vivid portrayal of humanity at it's breaking point. It's a great improvement over Dawn (although it still doesn't quite reach the heights of Romero's original masterpiece).

A zombie movie where the greatest threat to the survival of the human race isn't zombies, it's the people. Talk about perpetually relevant social commentary.

I remember not caring too much for this when I first saw it, but I was much more impressed this around. It lacks some of what made its two predecessors so effective, be it the social commentary or the overall impact, but still has captures their feel. Some of the conflict feels a bit forced, and some of the acting gets a bit hammy. However, it's ambitious, it elicits genuine tension and features some great practical effects. Decent.

I ended up loving this. It's not Dawn of the Dead or Night of the Living Dead, but it's for sure a worthy "of the dead" movie. Some of the acting isn't good, but Cardille and Pilato are both great as well as a few supporting characters. The Bub plot really helps make this a fairly unique zombie movie too. I can't recall a movie where I felt sympathy for a zombie like I did with him. It feels a little dated, but I think it holds up. Well worth a watch if you saw the first two in this series.

"I'm running this monkey farm now Frankenstein! And I wanna know, what the fuck you're doing with my time!" Every line of dialog is oversold and the gore is fantastic. It's every bit as good as Dawn

The third and bleakest of George Romero's original "Dead" trilogy is my personal favorite. Depressing and claustrophobic, the movie applies the same creeping closing pressure on the audience the hordes of the dead employ over the characters and civilization as we know it. Tom Savini's horrifically gross special effects are easily the best of the series. The star of the film is the zombie test subject, "Bub" who introduces the idea of "smart" zombies, and some of the best creature acting ever.

An ambitious horror whose impact is somewhat undercut by corny musical cues and bad acting which really stands out in this more dialogue driven effort that Romero seems to be taking seriously. Nonetheless, he effectively explores moral themes and builds incredible tension between the human characters in a claustrophobic underground setting which functions as a temporary, though tenuous, refuge from the zombie infested world. The gore soaked finale with Giallo style lighting is classic horror.

Underrated addition to the "of the dead" series which has the best effects of the series and 100% the greatest death scene in movie history.

I didn't like Day of the Dead. Maybe I wasn't in the right mind set, but I think a good movie has the power to transcend how a person is feeling when watching it. I found it on a list of the goriest movies of all time. I didn't find this movie gory at all. It had similar acting as a bad Predator sequel, and I couldn't wait for it to finish.

Lots of entertaining meat in the story (both literally & figuratively) but suffers from a bit bipolar tone, especially with the acting. The comically dumb and evil army assholes were a bit overdone. Plenty to love here though. The setting is appropriately claustrophobic and Savini's gore is just brilliant. The story attempts to do something new and interesting with the zombie concept and feels pretty fresh even today. I guess that tells a sad tale about the current state of this sub-genre.
