Years after the zombie apocalypse struck earth, a group of survivors are trapped in an old missile silo where scientists and soldiers struggle to agree on how best to survive in the face of almost certain doom. George A. Romero’s last chapter in his zombie trilogy that includes the groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead is perhaps the darkest of the trio, exploring the ways that humans can turn into monsters in desperate times.

"It's an intelligent, well-written, excellently played movie, with top flight gore/horror effects, perverse humour and a provocatively bleak vision. Also, it has the world's first true zombie hero in Bub, who listens to Beethoven and eats people."
"Here, a pessimistic Romero dares to tackle the very essence of man’s inhumanity to man. And in the end, Day of the Dead is every bit as compelling and unsettling as its more lauded predecessors."
This film is part of the After Hours series.
