Another outstanding film by Romero and Savini. Fleshes out the universe further, and gives us great over-the-top acting performances! 9/10!

The jump in production and design from DOTD to this is just incredible. Holy fuck. Absolutely astonishing. Story can be a bit mid, though.

Great fun almost all the way through even with several overacted characters.

My personal favourite of Romero’s zombie movies, phenomenally gross practical effects, make up & gore and an interesting score, a classic

Great overlooked film in the dead franchise. Lots of great ideas that flesh out the world, and the effects and makeup still look great

Not as action packed as modern zombie films, but one of the best regardless. Stunning effects and great atmosphere.

This movie is a powerhouse when it comes to gore bud is so damn cute and the protagonist is capable but vulnerable which is nice

an almost objectively good somewhat artistic zombie flick

Enjoyable all the way through, even if everyone is shouting all the time. The make-up effects are disgustingly amazing

Decent social commentary but fails to sufficiently give the characters depth. Banger of an ending tho
