35MM, COLOUR, MONO, 97 MINUTES, USA, ENGLISH / DIRECTOR/SCRIPT: GEORGE A. ROMERO / CINEMATOGRAPHER: MICHAEL GORNICK / EDITOR: PASQUALE BUBA / PRODUCTION CO: DEAD FILMS, LAUREL ENTERTAINMENT INC / PRINT SOURCE/RIGHTS: UMBRELLA ENTERTAINMENT / SCREENING FORMAT: DIGITAL BETACAM
‘In Day of the Dead society has irretrievably broken down, and a disparate group of soldiers and scientists hide deep underground in a military bunker. With hordes of zombies on the outside, tensions inside reach crisis point, climaxing in a stand-off between the survivors as the military base is overrun by the living dead. George A. Romero's message is an allegory based around the destruction of one society and the formation of another. The living dead and their human antagonists are merely the hook on which the allegory is hung.’ National Museum of Photography, Film & Television
