Summary

This week on Shat the Movies, we're heading underground with Day of the Dead (1985), the grim and gory finale to George A. Romero's original zombie trilogy. As scientists and soldiers clash in a bunker full of tension (and entrails), we break down the film's bleak tone, standout effects, and the unforgettable performance of Bub the zombie. Gene and Big D ask: Is this a zombie masterpiece, or just a depressing mess with great gore?.
