This movie is kino. Everyone's about to crack and yet I can agree with the directions almost everyones pulling
I still think Rhodes is justified in his wanting to be done with the science stuff after what happened to his men.

Dawn > Day
I agree to some extent.
I think dawns characters are less tragic and less burnt out which makes for a little less stressful atmosphere, at least for a time
And there's certainly more action and less theorizing about zombies and trying to display some sort of meaning beyond mindless consumerism
I can't decide which I like better as both have different strengths, but Day of the Dead is more intense and features human conflict done right in a survival scenario
If you combine the two I think you have the perfect zombie movie
For me day had so much of it that was bogged down change in command drama that could apply to multiple scenarios, not really capitalizing on the zombie element
The beginning and ending were zombie kino though
The first part of Dawn is top tier zombie movie material, the second part is comfy and sort of eerie
Fantastic movie
Yeah the first part is great. Wish we'd gotten a sequel of week of the dead or something with the hill billies going hunting
I really don't get these competitions where you put one movie against the other when it's the same story and essentially one long movie. It's obvious that the sequel movies have to be drastically different since they happen in sequence. Of course some parts will have more action than the others, the early part will have more panic and confusion, no one knows what is going on, in later parts the characters will have more knowledge and more time to sit down to think about solving the crisis, which is always more boring. So it just doesn't make sense to compare them like they are different and somehow later movies should be so action packed like the starting movie.
With it being a trilogy people will of course give a ranking. I acknowledge I can't decide between dawn and day. Both are good movies in their own ways and have their own stories to tell
I consider night the weakest of the 3 and in a category below the other 2 but as you've said each movie is different
>Both are good movies in their own ways and have their own stories to tell
That's kinda of what I think people should acknowledge I guess. I just don't get how it could be much different. Having them be almost the same movies with the same ups and downs wouldn't be interesting. Has there been any trilogies where all three movies were different yet keeping almost equal entertainment?
Dawn is the best zombie movie.
Day isn't particularly good at best and the cult developing around it on Cinemaphile is almost as annoying as the Alien 3 gays.
>Day isn't particularly good at best and the cult developing around it on Cinemaphile is almost as annoying as the Alien 3 gays.
Day has its moments and is deeper at times than dawn
Both are great though and better than night
No, nothing in Day touches Dawn. No, Day isn't anywhere near as good as Night.
Day has better effects than both and it's human conflicts are the best of the 3
And it's action is better than night
Day has vastly superior zombie makeup, better antagonists (Rhodes and his soldiers vs generic biker gang), and a much more haunting atmosphere. Even with the limited budget, the underground setting just adds to the feeling of claustrophobia and hopelessness. My main criticism is that Romero, as usual, was pushing his social justice narrative at the expensive of realism. So while the soldiers were sympathetic (if crass and hostile) early on, Rhodes eventually gets flanderized into an evil coward so the audience knows we are supposed to hate him.
Night is one of the greatest horror movies of all fricking time you halfwit. The sequels are all in good fun but come on now.
I partly agree with him. My ranking is Dawn > Night >>> Day. Night is what I would call a SEMINAL work, the important contemporary update on the zombie genre altogether. Not the first zombie movie, obviously, but it set the modern standard. However, Barbara is actually annoying with how weak and ineffectual she is, how she becomes a non-character in the second half. The remake tries to correct this, with some success, although her update becomes a Ripley clone.
Dawn is the most human movie (Night, for its charms, is acted like a high school play). People are behaving rationally, or at least, naturally with each other, given that the world is going to hell. Everyone knows what they like about the movie and what they don't, so I won't belabor it. The "le consumer culture criticism" is a perfectly valid and interesting artistic choice. The mall functions as a castle, keeping the plague out, for a while at least.
Overall, I hate Day and I've always disliked this board's strong affinity for it over the other two ones. When I reviewed it a few years ago, it does have a few charms: a great title screen, the nice effect on the lead's dream sequence with the hands popping out of the wall. Another shot I really like is the wide shot when the bus-sized platform lowers and the zombies begin sauntering in, oh we're really fricked now. Despite these, I hate the movie overall, as I said. Even understanding how strung out everyone is, and even realizing how stupid it is for the science experiments to continue, I hate the cartoonish acting, scenery-chewing, and over-the-top cursing. There's no way for me to like any of these characters, even if their motivations have some rationality. And yes, I do have to care about the characters in some way. Her boyfriend being a weak homosexual doesn't help.
I disagree with you on Day, but I like your explanation about Dawn a lot. One of my favorite scenes is when they talk down the rogue cops who are loading up the boat, how both parties seem to slowly realize that humanity overall is starting to lose, and there is really no upside to just shooting at each other as opposed to going their separate ways. I wonder if those guys survived until the end of the movie, I'd like to think so. Also RIP Rog.
>I wonder if those guys survived until the end of the movie, I'd like to think so.
Well, one of those guys is Rhodes, so I assume he survived at least...
>Roads was Captain in his reserve unit
>Elected to stay in Philly
>Makes escape with cop buddies
>They all die on their river adventure
>Rhodes survives and is picked up by an army patrol
>Since we was technically AWOL, decide to give him the worst detail in damp bunker with outdated shit.
>The scientists don't understand how bad Philly was, nor a simple boat escape.
It works for me Anon
Nah I never bought into this. He was playing two different characters. The deserter at the river didn't carry himself the same way as Rhodes, who was clearly comfortable with being in command.
Congrats you are not a moron. Well done.
Thank you. God damnit. Every clause of this is correct.
day is so much better than dawn it's not even funny
Alien Resurrection > 3
showed day to my normie friends, they thought it was great. sorry boomer, dawn is good but dated af, day was where romero fricking perfected his formula (then proceeded to make nothing but dosghit after)
Day is miles better than the assembly cut. sns
Dawn is comfy
Day will always have a special place in my heart as I saw it first. It’s less sprawling than Dawn which I think works in its favour.
I'M RUNNING THIS MONKEY FARM NOW FRANKENSTEIN!
Frankenstein had it coming. Operating on people who were literally there to help and protect you, and then feeding them to the things they protected you from, idiotic
He didnt kill them, he just experimented on their cadavers. He was being practical
You don't do that to people you have helped you if you have any amount of humanity left
He's clearly lost it as can be heard in his recordings "just 5 more minutes mother"
Frankenstein had cracked, just in a different way than Rhodes or the others wind up going.
True. Truly moronic thinking.
I love the zombies and military in Day, but Sarah and the two other dudes are boring to me.
>but Sarah and the two other dudes are boring to me.
I don't hate then. The pilot I think is my favorite of the 3 as he understands it really doesn't matter, they aren't big enough to change anything so they should enjoy what time they do have rather than risking life and limb over something they can't do anything about

>wanting to see a couple shoe size iq dipshits who are dumber than the zombies frick around the whole time and ruin everything
It’s shit
That was the best part of the movie. You hate fun.
They aren't straight up evil though. That's the thing and it's a reason I like it. They aren't bad they've just been pushed to the limit and even then are considerate of their fellow man until they see what Frankenstein has done and come to the conclusion the scientists don't care what happens to them
it took away the charm of zombies
It's one of those movies where you realize later in the movie that the bad guys are the good guys. They explain themselves pretty thoroughly in terms that nobody can fault them for. You can't hear Rhodes talk about how they're low on ammo, low on manpower, and can't afford to keep doing expeditions for lab supplies if the scientists can't even show that they're doing anything useful with it, and think he's being irrational.
I like the part where the black man leaves with the last white woman on earth to a remote island so they can repopulate the world with inbred mulattos.
>I like the part where the black man leaves with the last white woman on earth to a remote island so they can repopulate the world with inbred mulattos.

She fricked both
why dont you finish the movie you stupid homosexual
>when bub saw the doctor dead
That parts season is when steel has to kill one of his friends that got bit
I don't even know what I was trying to type here
I apologize
I dislike the film because of the bad acting. Rhodes doing his "psycho eyes," the two giggling grunts, the guy doing the terrible attempt at a Jamaican accent, the strangely camp Miguel - all shitty performances, even by the low standards of horror.
Miguel gives one of the best performances in any zombie movie. The world has ended and he's stuck underground. His unit casted him out. And Sarah, the only person that he is close to betrays him. He's barely hanging on. And watch him closely. He's physically always holding himself together. He swings from scared to sad to angry to just collapsing. He's one of my favorite characters and it's a great performance. Look at how many things are conveyed in this short scene alone:
NTA but even though I found this movie pretty shitty, that guys acting and character was some of the best I've seen in the horror genre. It's a guy who feels real and knows just how completely fricked the world is and has lost hope.
i still dont understand his suicide tbh. why bring all the zombies in to kill everyone? why?
> why bring all the zombies in to kill everyone? why?
He hated everyone in that bunker and the last person he was holding on for chopped his arm off without so much as asking him how he felt about the idea. He could feel his time was coming, so he thought he might as well end everyone with him, that it might at least give him company.
I see it a different way
When the army started shooting scientists I think Miguel figures everyone will be shot by the soldiers and he will kill the soldiers with zombies.
He figured that Sarah would be shot so he brings the zombies
I sympathize with the soldiers in this movie
I do as well. And I think more than anyone I sympathize with steel
He's seen his buddies get eaten while his commanders cave to the scientists who demand they risk their lives again and again for them
Why was there an Irish guy in this?
There was whiskey at the base, he just showed up.
Rhodes was a legitimately stupid man and probably a psycho.
Frankenstein was a legitimate butthole and probably an autist.
Everyone else was caught in the middle and no one wanted to take unified command and that's why it all turned to shit.
I don't think Rhodes was a psycho initially. He always struck me as someone put in charge before he could really handle it and just cracked under the pressure of everything.
Rhodes literally only did two things wrong.
One, he didn't make John, the flyboy, teach a few of his men to fly the chopper.
Two, he didn't have his men blow the piss out of Frankenstein's precious specimens and leave him and his highfalutin butthole friends to rot in that stinking sewer.
Day feels like the first time Romero actually succeeded in what he was trying to do with his zombie movies.

My homie. That one scared the shit out of me as a kid since they could run, think and were virtually indestructible; unlike the Romero movie zombies.
It freaked me out that the zombies were just hungry
Like they were dying of hUnger us what they say iirc
No, they were in great pain from being dead and the chemicals from eating brains relieved the pain temporarily.
That's it
Always thought that was freaky
it's the worst of the major zombie flicks, you pencil-neck mongoloid
Day is the worst of the original trilogy because of Bud. Sentient zombies don't fit the established lore or serious themes of the series as a whole.
Eh I don't hate bub. I find it an appropriate end to the trilogy
It shows human have been displaced
then what do you call this, Black person?
I call it a piece of garbage you moron, it came out twenty years later, none of the cash in sequels were any good.
Land of the Dead is just as good as Day of the Dead. Sorry you guys have such pleb taste.
Agreed I have a soft spot for it. Zombies echoing humanity is a core theme of the series
>Land of the Dead is just as good as Day of the Dead
You're absolutely right, but only because Day is garbage.
>No, don't blow up those zombies who just slaughtered all of our friends and loved ones, they're just looking for a place to live

Are you me?
It's sad how Romero spent his entire life making shitty sequels. He lived long enough to see himself become a joke, his final film was even going to be some moronic shit where zombies are used in race cars.
zombies in space would've been better
I love Land, but it doesn't measure up. it's full of half-baked ideas that are stretched too thin. the characters feel distinctly like movie archetypes rather than real people. the direction is more overtly cinematic - to its own detriment. the plot is downright stupid. it's like the theme park version of a romero film.
but it's relentlessly entertaining and the gore is great aside from a couple of horrible cgi moments.
Perfect review
Awful?
For all the shit that Land gets I still think it’s better than Diary
That thing is a piece of shit
That's like saying puke is better than shit
People are overly critical of Land because we all expected better
Dairy was worse because even with zero expectations it was still the worst of the dead movie by a fricking landslide.
>BANG! You're dead!
If steel kills her there does the military make it out alive?
The black dude and the drunken irish were cool with Sarah so they would've turned against Rhodes. They would have ended up killing each other.
You think I'm frickin around, Steele?

Hellooooooooo
>EM WUN AY WUN
Day really hammers home the hopelessness of everything. The experiment with Bub was working, but even though it was working it was totally pointless because even if zombies are trainable you can't train billions of them. But if you're not going to do something and just give in to the futility of it all, then you might as well just have a nice day because you're already spiritually dead.

>but even though it was working it was totally pointless because even if zombies are trainable you can't train billions of them.
And even if you could theoretically find a way to train them en masse, the main thing Rhodes and even the other scientists try to get through to him is that resources for the experiments aren't infinite. It's hard to find the materials he needs to continue a lot of his study, and they're running out of men to get it for him. There's too few people left to try to pursue the research he's going for.
I agree about the hopelessness. There's no cheesy pie scene or weird soundtrack like in dawn of the dead. it's very somber, trapped in an underground tomb waiting to die. in dawn of the dead they're just running around having fun. no one is doing that in day of the dead
The experiment with Bub wasn't working at all. Not really. What was his REWARRRRRRDD? Warm human flesh. They'll never stop hungering for it.
I just watched it on Tubi and it was a VHS version which I thought was kind of strange, but neat.
Really cool movie. I like how quaint and small it feels. Just a few actors and a few sets. Good stuff!
Rhodes represents the conservative right-wing, not interested in longshot theories and idealist proposals, only what's practical and reliable and makes sense at the current time.
Frankenstein represents the liberal left-wing, willing to sacrifice anything and anyone in pursuit of virtuous end-goals, even if the chances of ever reaching them are near impossible.
The film superficially presents Rhodes as the bad guy and Frankenstein as the good guy, but gives enough dialogue and information over the course of the movie for a thinking audience member to understand that the reality is the opposite. Whether he did it intentionally or not, Romero made one of the most based movies of all time.
Stop thinking in politics homosexual
Movies are a vehicle for politics, not an escape from them.
>Frankenstein as the good guy
Settle down, bud.
i am sobering up it sucks :{
You listen to me frankenstein
I miss that over the top shit acting which works so well in action films
I never really understood why people think the military guys in this are the villains. I always thought they were just all cracking under the stress and pressure.
It's just the way the movie is set up. Sarah is the protagonist, her friends are the other scientists, the pilot, and the engineer, and the soldiers are mean to them. Initially you'll think "okay, those are the villains, picking on the protagonist and her friends."
It just takes some attention to understand as you watch that the real victims are the soldiers, who only became angry when they started to realize that fact. You can always tell when someone didn't pay attention to the movie because they think Rhodes was just some butthole or Steele and Rickles were psychos.
I like that scene where steele is ordered to shoot sarah, so he just does a finger-gun, and then looks all disturbed when he's ordered to actually do it. I think it says a lot about the soldiers.
Steele also almost kills Miguel when he fricks up the zombie extraction that almost gets Rickles killed, and when Greg Nicotero gets bit and begs him to finish him off before he turns zombie, you can see he has to pull himself together to be able to kill his friend. The soldiers are all bros that care about each other.
I'm talking more in terms of the narrative structure. Nobody in the movie thinks they're the bad guy doing bad guy stuff, they all think they're doing the right thing, which allows the audience to decide who the good guy is. But their placement in the structure of the movie is clearly meant to give you some impressions about good vs bad, especially when they're threatening to shoot the protagonist.
Wasn't Greg Nicotero's character that got bit. That was Miller. Nicotero played Johnson, the one that got blasted by Miller's machine gun when he was getting his throat torn out.
Oh right. They have similar hair
Ehhh now your leaning too far towards them being the "good" guys, which they are not. Everyone is just cracking under the pressure. Villains and good guys are not applicable to this movie.
rhodes' frickup was with miguel. keeping him on duty directly led to the base being compromised. if he hadn't done that he would've been able to leave after shooting frankenstein and it could've been him on the island at the end.
It was a frickup, but you can also understand he didn't want another useless mouth sulking around the bunker giving his men shit about what they nee to do for him. They're overburdened already; for all he knows, letting Miguel off would lead to the rest of his unit revolting
He's in the right the whole time until he gets super racist/evil towards the end of the movie, shooting the nice doc, ditching his scumbag friends, idk what he says to the black guy but it was just over-the-top letting the audience know that he's the bad guy.
But yeah my favorite character in the movie he's great.
here just to post this
Based, I've been wanting that opening HELLOOOO music for years.
>tfw unironically feel dread from hearing that music again
All of them slowly creating a massive group after being called at the start was so damn creepy. The way they just sit idle and don't go anywhere till provoked was creepy as shit.
its a good film but the music is far far better
Yeah that soundtrack sounds pretty good. It sounded kind of shit in my memory but I only ever saw it on VHS and then DVD (which just looked like a shitty VHS upscale anyway) and the sound quality for the soundtrack was terrible, which made it feel old and cheap imo. That vinyl rip makes it sound how it should've in the film itself.
It sounds great on blu ray. I'm waiting for them to put the movie on 4K too. Night has a 4K version, Dawn had a 4K release from a UK company, Day is the only one stuck in 1080p.
Rhodes did nothing wrong
1. wouldnt accept situation
2. blamed everyone else
3. didnt act correctly - he couldve arrested Frankenstein much earlier to everyones understanding
4. Didnt understand Salazar's mental state
Salazar is one of the biggest homosexuals ever featured on film.
I think 90% of the world would end up like Miguel in that situation. Look at how many people broke because Trump won an election. Now imagine the world ended, you're forced underground, and everyone that should give you hope turns their back on you. Then you get bitten. Then they want to kill you. Then they chop your arm off. He even says to Sarah, "You're stronger than me. You're stronger than everyone. So what? So fricking what?" It just didn't matter anymore. He's took the blackpill and for good reason. He knew it was all over.
There's still reyards wearing 3 masks out in the open like Kevin Smith
>cares only about his men
>instantly abandons them and deliberately makes their escape impossible
If they can't survive on their own, they're too weak to be part of his unit.
I mean, they were severely fricked and in pure panic mode. Not like a fricking golf cart was going to solve their problem.
It’s been some time, but doesn’t the cave system partially collapse? Once Miguel tore the guts to the lift, anyone not out was clearly fricked.
Also.
Why were there so many people in a random underground military cave structure for preserving microfilm. There was like a village of zombies somehow stuck there.
He literally looks the only escape behind him while Steele is banging on the door, it's almost cartoonish. No collapse that I can remember.
>the guts from the lift
Rhodes didn't know and there was still the ladder everyone else took out
The original script for day of the dead was AWFUL
George calls it his gone with the wind of zombies.
But it was so awful
Link to it? I think the Day of the Dead that came to be is one of the best scripts in all of horror. I wonder what the original was then.
Tl;dr
>everyone lives in a sort of jungle/forest
>scientists operate in a treetop base
>army live in base underground, directly beneath
>areas surrounded by electrified fences
>zombie armies are trained to wipe out other zombies
>scientists also discover that for some reason, new zombies are no longer happening and people just die
>zombie army manages to win and humanity will survive, by having zombie armies wipe out the feral zombies
An overall pretty weird movie idea. He had to re-write since the budget was cut in half, so only the army bunker part survived.
That at least sounds interesting, although harder to direct.
>scientists operate in a treetop base
>army live in base underground, directly beneath
Sounds like a bit of Metropolis inspiration, a more direct version of with what we got. The scientists as the smart but heartless elites, the soldiers as the working class pushed to rise up against them.
What they ended up doing was probably for the best, but it's still cool to see what ideas were on the table. Do you have a link to the script itself though?
No, just run downs but you could probably find it on horror forums with a quick google. I think the ending with zombies no longer rising and humanity surviving would've been a kind of cool end, especially considering they used zombies to destroy other zombies. Hints of all that survived in the final film but you can definitely tell at what points plots and characters behavior was changed to meet the new cut.
He’s not kidding. Its bad. It had a lot of vibes that later went into land if the dead. Rich vs poor in the face of real danger etc. thank god they cut his budget. The bad guy is just some Miami Cuban type that gets ripped apart in a tanning bed.
Easy to find the script online. Romero also wrote a script for resident evil and it’s hard to believe anyone who had ever seen a movie wrote it much less created the fricking genre.
Here's a good breakdown
Is fricking awful

NO
What's the general opinion on Survival of the Dead?
First time I've ever heard of it, so probably not great kek.
It's a "sequel" to Diary. He was also in the process of writing Twilight of the Dead which was to be the conclusion before he died. Last I read it was being finished by someone else.
everything after Day is shit, save for Tom Savini remake of Night Of The Living Dead and Dawn of The Dead (2004)
Dawn of the Dead 2004 turned me off when they fell for the running zombie meme. The DVD extras were some of the most kino things in any zombie film though.
>they fell for the running zombie meme
You sound moronic. That's okay, you're not the first moron in the world.
IS THERE FOOD? IM HUNGRY, IS THERE FOOD?
It's an enjoyable movie, it has probably the best zombies until the remake of Night of The Living Dead; the story is derivative but it was meant to be an epilogue, so it was predictable. Its flaws however are remarkable; the last third of the movie look rushed, it has two endings (because of different distributions), but both are insipid; photography is too televisive, the directorial style of the previous movie is almost absent here; the musical score sucks, Romero said that he liked that "caribbean vibe" of the OST but it really doesn't suit the movie, expecially compared to the psychedelic rock OST in the european edition of Dawn of The Dead; sometimes the movie tries to imitate the The Thing, it has some similar characters and situations: the nervous radio operator, the doctor who goes crazy, the critical tension between the characters and the environmental sense of oppression, in this case rended with liminal spaces instead of narrow ones.
>has probably the best zombies until
