5 Great Reasons To Revisit Day of the Dead (1985)

Was Day of the Dead misunderstood when it was released in 1985? #DayOfTheDead #GeorgeRomero #zombie For years, George A. Romero's third zombie masterpiece lived in the shadow of Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, but over the last four decades its reputation has grown enormously. Today, many horror fans consider it to be Romero's finest work. In this episode of Only Sands, I explore 5 Good Reasons to Rewatch Day of the Dead, from its brilliantly symbolic opening and unforgettable characters to Tom Savini's career defining practical effects, the film's troubled production and why I believe time has finally been kind to Romero's darkest zombie film. I also share my own memories of first seeing the cut UK VHS in 1987, finally experiencing the uncut version years later, and why Day of the Dead means even more to me today than it did as a teenager. Whether you've loved this film for decades or you're thinking about revisiting it for the first time in years, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Where does Day of the Dead rank in Romero's original zombie trilogy? Let me know your own reasons for rewatching this horror classic in the comments.
