Product Description:
Anchorbay Day Of The Dead (Blu-ray) The 'walking dead' have taken over the world. Only a small band of scientists and soldiers are definitely known to remain, and they have taken refuge in an underground missile silo. The only hope for survival of the humanrace hinges on discovering a way to either control the walking dead or get them back into their graves for good. Grotesque research experiments are being conducted by Dr. Logan, a borderline mad scientist, appropriately nicknamed Dr. Frankenstein byhis associates. His most promising prospect for controlling the hordes of walking dead is one 'guinea pig' zombie who seems to have a trace of humanity left in him. But the military leader soon discovers that some of his soldiers have been used as substitute guinea pigs in zombie experiments, and he retaliates by locking up the remaining scientific team with the zombies. Now, the remaining human survivors engage in a horrific last-ditch battle for life with thousands of the walking dead. The result is the darkest day of horror the world has ever known.
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

The Bottom Line:
By far the least appreciated of Romero's original "Dead" trilogy, Day of the Dead might not have Night's raw power or Dawn's shock value, but it features the director's trademarked blend of zombie carnage and unpretentious social commentary, making it well worth a viewing for fans of the genre.
Rating: - Zombies
This movie although good gave me a rather grim out look on society, which i guess is the point of zombie movies :)
Rating:  - Best of the original trilogy.
As a rule "Day of the Dead" is considered to be the weakest of the original Romero 'Dead' trilogy the general criticism being that the film didn't take the zombie scenario anywhere new.
I for one would say that unequivocally this is the best of the three films for two simple reasons - it is the scariest, it has the best story.
The first of the trilogy "Night of the Living Dead" was a pretty decent B flick but by now is extremely dated. It is not so much scary as creepy and ... Read More
Rating: - Philosophy of science and medicine
This movie is an absorbing symbolic depiction of the initial public response to HIV/AIDS--emphatically making unreasonable demands on scientists, who respond by overhyping the immediate value and scope of their work, which all scientists do anyway, that's their job. Dr. Logan has a plausible strategy. An army of Bubs trained to protect live humans and shoot undomesticated zombies in the head could in principle have solved the whole problem and saved humanity since other zombies would not attack them ...

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!
