Day of the Dead (1985)
Directed by George A. Romero
Quick Hit
Day of the Dead feels like an apocalyptic zombie blastāgory, angry, with atmosphere doing half the killing.
Full Take
Day of the Dead leans hard into zombie horror energy, and George A. Romero keeps the tone gory without letting the movie drift. It balances style and ugliness the right way, letting the mood get under your skin before the worst of it lands. The rough edges are part of the charm.

Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
