Day of the Dead, a review by Jimmy

Title : Day of the Dead (1985)

Overview
In this third and final shocker in the legendary trilogy from writer/director George A. Romero (DAWN OF THE DEAD, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD), a small group of scientists and soldiers have taken refuge in an underground missle silo where they struggle to control the flesh-eating horror that walks the earth above. But will the final battle for the future of the human race be fought among the living or have they forever unleashed the hunger of the dead? Lori Cardille, Joe Pilato, Richard Liberty and Howard Sherman star in this controversial classic with groundbreaking gore effects by Tom Savini and featuring the most intense zombie carnage ever filmed.

My Impression
Surprise, I review a well known movie. You see I can watch mainstream film sometimes
For me this is the zombie movie, yes Dawn of the Dead is also good but it is just too cartoony to be taken seriously. This one had all the ingredients for the perfect zombie movie receipe : great acting (overacting some will say but not necessarily the case), great special effect by a Tom Savini at the height of his art, a claustrophobic mood, a complete schizophrenic crazyness (no one is mentally stable in this building, except for the chopper pilot) and a fear created by the number and not the speed. What can I add? Nothing really since it's the best movie Romero had ever done after Martin.

Supernatural Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 8: Bugs

Guest Stars:

My Thoughts:
This is another good episode. If you do not like bugs this one may make you squirm a bit. I know I personally could have went without that damn big spider the kid had! I liked the reason they came up with for the bugs to go nuts the way they did.
