Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead is an American feature film of the zombie holocaust subgenre. It is the second sequel in the "Living Dead" film series developed by writer and director George A. Romero and follows the 1968 seminal classic, Night of the Living Dead and the 1978 sequel, Dawn of the Dead. Romero once again takes the help in expanding zombie lore in Day of the Dead, which was produced by the Laurel Entertainment Group and distributed through the United Film Distribution Company (UFDC). The movie premiered in the United States on July 19th, 1985. Day of the Dead takes place in the near future, several years after the events of the previous film. In this post-apocalyptic setting, the military has set up quarantine stockades by which to herd all of the flesh-eaters. One obsessive scientist at the compound, dubbed "Doctor Frankenstein" by his peers, believes that he can call forth a zombie's past memories and personality through experimentation. Things naturally go awry and good ole gooey flesh-chomping, innard shredding chaos ensues. A fun time was had by all.
