Review of Day of the Dead (1985) by Acidcasual — 15 Dec 2020
You want to hate this film but you can't for the love of god you just take it like a b**ch. All elements of this film i'm sure could be improved, no, they defiantly could but you wouldn't even dare change it.
Sadly it seems that Romero was unable to muster some inner strength to create a truly great film but what he did make is a mastery in creating the definitive zombie film. It has the right blend of interesting locations, impending death, the blurred lines of sinister with a categorical virtuoso level of bad language and one liners from actors who, if they're not being agonisingly annoying there collateral for your enjoyment. Whilst reminding you of how you would act if you were in that situation yourself.
The most enjoyable scenes are the ones where people are at each others throats because they're unpredictable. The most lovable, relatable character is a zombie and the timid underdogs leave you no option but to feed them to kid - Whilst you know behind the doors, in the tunnels, the living dead are getting closer.
You will genuinely enjoy this film, on your own, drunk.
Any other time, it's just not worth it - that's it's charm.
