Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead is a 1985 horror film directed by George A. Romero and is the third film in Romero's Dead Series, being preceded by Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead . Director George A. Romero describes the film as a "tragedy about how a lack of human communication causes chaos and collapse even in this small little pie slice of society". This film features Sherman Howard in an early appearance as Bub and make-up artist Gregory Nicotero playing Pvt. Johnson and doing the make-up effects. Some time after the events of "Dawn of the Dead," zombies have overrun the world. The... remaining fragments of the U.S. government and military hide out in fortified enclaves, attempting to find both survivors and a solution to the zombie phenomenon. Sarah, John, McDermott, and Miguel—four such survivors—arrive in the deserted streets of Fort Myers, Florida, and search for survivors. They are instead met by a zombie horde, and quickly escape via helicopter to an underground Army base in the Everglades. Inside, a small group of scientists search for a way to stop or reverse the zombie process, assisted by a skeleton crew of Army soldiers.
