I am treading on very dangerous grounds now, but I always thought that day of the dead was actually superior to dawn....best movie ever!
Day Of The Dead is pretty close to Dawn.........effects are superior........as is part of the story line.......HOWEVER.........Dawn was and will always be the first PROPER zombie movie...with a LOT of social criticism added........
True, but the social criticism is much better layered in Day of the dead. I once had an article published about dawn/day a few years ago. Basically, the bottom-line, and what many people always failed to see in day is that it is as much a criticism against blind faith in science as it is anti-militaristic. Dawn is basically only attacking consumerism.

I am sorry if you obviously don't know your horror movies... better go back to watching Scream 2 and be REALLY scared , James..
Nightbreed was NOT above average, I could name at least 100 horror movies that are beter, might even find 200
Yes, it was.........therefore it is in my 300+ horror dvd collection...top 100......? Nope...but definitely in the top 250.
top 250 horror would not mean above par in any way in my book. Anything that does not fit a top 100 is mediocre.

You have got a point there...........and yes, both Dawn and Day is when Romero got it right....with Night to a lesser extend... Dawn of course had more impact.....however.......if you ARE into Romero..one can't deny Day is equally good. I am kinda surprised to find a kindred spirit on this forum. ;-)
