The conclusion to George A. Romero’s landmark “Dead” trilogy follows a group of scientists and soldiers taking refuge in an underground missile silo in Florida while the undead dominate the outside world. As tensions rise between the military and scientific factions over how to confront the flesh-eating apocalypse, one researcher makes a startling discovery after attempting to train a zombie known as Bub. Showcasing gut-churning practical effects by Tom Savini, DAY OF THE DEAD remains the trilogy’s most underrated — and eerily prophetic — chapter.
