Review of Day of the Dead (1985) by Nathan Rabin for The A.V. Club — 11 Oct 1992
Day Of The Dead is more like Romero's scorching 1973 satire The Crazies, in which anarchy reigns and the very concept of heroes dissolves. The action at the end is lurid, made giddily disgusting by Tom Savini's amazing gore effects, and made gripping by Romero's gift for the cold logic of systemic breakdown.
Still, some audiences may give up early, fed up with the shrill claustrophobia.
