Romero was ahead of his time when he did this one.
This movie is pure Closter phobia and maybe that's why when it came out it was badly criticize. It's shocking that nobody liked this movie when it came out. You can blame this on the 80's they simply didn't want to deal with this type of tension at the time. As I was watching this movie I kept getting this morbid feeling of hopelessness at times I didn't want to watch it anymore. This is probably the reason why people dismiss it. You need to watch it at least three times in order to really understand why you wanted to stop watching it. One of the reasons for me was that all the characters were beyond redemption, they were apathetic and maniacal. None of them deserved to live and as I was watching the movie for the second time I wanted all of them to be eaten by the zombies because none of them deserve to be human. Through out the whole movie you feel that there's no solution and no matter what the characters are doing things can only get worst. Extremely different from all the other Zombie flicks that are out there. It's great horror flick, Romero's masterpiece for sure.

Dawn is the Best? Ya I'm Sure!!!
One year ago,When I was 12 years old,my mom bought me 3 zombie films:Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead,and Day of the Dead.I had heard many things about these films.About "Night" I heard it was a good start to George A Romero's series. About "Dawn" I heard it was the greatest of the 3 films, if not all zombie films. And about "Day", I heard it was horrible, discusting, and damaging to the good name of George A Romero. Okay,I watch Night,almost exactly what I would expect.I put in Dawn, fairly dissapointed.It wasn't a bad movie but this film was much too overrated.I put in Day, expecting an even worse outcome. 2 hours later my jaw hit the floor.This was the zombie film I had been waiting for. This was what a zombie film was meant to be.And yet for some reason it flopped in the box office,and was hated by critics across North America.Being labeled "Shallow" or "The weakest film in the series. Personally, I'd choose Day over Dawn any day.

Day of the Dead and the Prison System
Of all Zombie movies, I liked this one the best for it's grim portrayel of a world gone mad and over run by blood thirsty rotting corpses. I think the sub-plot/story of this film is based apon our current prison system if zombies=criminals. The underground shelter has become what is left of society, or at least what these solitary survivors percieve as the last fragment of society. They keep several zombies in a corral, like cattle or a prison of sorts if you will for the zombies (criminals) every day more and more of the zombies are captured and put into this prison. Let's say that Dr.Logan (Frankenstein) is a bleeding heart liberalist with an idea to rehabillitate the zombies, he thinks they can be 'tamed' or domesticated. He knows that with the zombie population at 125,000 to every one human that the war against them is futile. I think this represents a huge problem with the prison system, the war against criminals will never end, every time you imprison one there is always one or tow more to take their place, and theres definately not enough room for them all, and many prisoners today are serving long pointless sentences for non-violent crimes and some are in for minor crimes. Many of these people could be rehabillitated and turned back into society as useful members of society. Nobody wants to pay for this rehabillitation however so we lock them in a room for several years hoping when they are released they will be so afraid of returning to jail they wont re-offend. However this is not the case as after release from prison they are not rehabillitated for their crimes and will most likely re-offend. Lets say Sarah and her Lab Partner are open minded yet sceptical as Logans theories are quite sound but they do not have the time and the resources to go along with his plan. THe government doesnt even want to imprison them at all, the government represented by Cpt.Rhodes and his militia. They want them to simply drop dead or execute them all, but as said before they are hopelessly outnumbered. Much like the government they desire a quick cheap easy safe way for the problem to be solved which is insane as it is not realistic. <
>The whirlybird pilot and radio-man could care less either way, however they dream of a peaceful utopia away from the problem to start civilization all over again from scratch. By their philosophy theyd just rather ignore the problem at large. But if they're not part of the solution they're part of the problem. I think Dr.Logan was on to something briliant when he tamed 'Bub' and taught him how to use a pistol...Dr.Logan quite possibly could have, given the time he needed, tamed and trained several zombies, armed them with fire-arms (or other weapons) and sent them out to kill other zombies. They'd have no opposition as the other zombies would never have seen them as a threat.
