Quick Hit

Day of the Dead feels like an apocalyptic zombie blast—gory, 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.

I see both sides. Some parts worked, some didn’t.

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