Day of the Dead

"It's an intelligent, well-written, excellently played movie, with top flight gore/horror effects, perverse humour and a provocatively bleak vision."

"Maybe Romero, whose original movie was a genuine inspiration, hasn't figured out anything new to do with his zombies... He should quit while he's ahead."

"Yes, there are enough spilled guts and severed limbs to satisfy the bloodthirstiest fan. But these moments tend to be clustered together, and a lot of the film is devoted to windy argument."

"Day of the Dead is every bit as compelling and unsettling as its more lauded predecessors."

"Tense rather than terrifying, and with a strong black comic undercurrent, it rests on the mordant observation that zombies or no zombies, chances are the living will tear each other apart. A fitting conclusion to a remarkably astute series..."

"Though it’s still a disappointment in relation to its two predecessors, it has much to recommend it."
