DAY OF THE DEAD (1985)
Tagline - Prepare yourself for the darkest day of horror the world has
ever known!
I get that this thing is a cult classic and has somehow won over zombie fans worldwide, but I have seen over a 50 zombie movies now and I have to say this one for me, is one of stupidest. Normally I can spot a cult classic long before it reaches that status but nothing about this movie to me reaches the love a lot of fans have for it. I would even venture to say that there will be better zombie flicks I find by accident in the next month or two that will be better than this.
The plot follows a group
of scientists that seemingly were the parents of everyone that works for the
UMBRELLA CORP. They can’t stop screwing with zombies and trying to figure them
out. Meanwhile outside the zombies are trying to figure out how to get in and
we all know this underground bunker will only hold out for so long even with a
bunch of military guys around that apparently didn’t attend the same politeness
school that the imperial storm troopers did.
The one female in the entire
film is the only one with common sense but even she has grotesque flashbacks
that would have been cool if they didn’t come across as just a way to fill up
the 96 minute running time. I am a zombie movie fan and I really had a hard
time sitting through this disaster. I will give the effects crew credit for
some of the effects but the zombie horde shots in this were right in line with
“we shot this over the weekend” flicks that are coming out from college kids
these days.
I should also say that the only standout performances came from Lori Cardille (as Sarah) and one of the biggest jerks in the movie Joseph Pilato (as Rhodes). In spite of the love others have given this flick, I can't in good faith give it any better than a 3 out of 7.
