There were parts of _Day of the Dead_ that I wanted to really hate…but in spite of the handful of shortcomings, I have to say this was one of the better zombie movies out there. Granted, it wasn't as "scary" as some of the more modern zombie flicks - because, as in most of the earlier zombie movies, these were your typical unthinking, shambling, shuffling, half-blind zombies that a child could outrun - but it was plenty bloody, with an adequate amount of gore mixed in. In addition, though, I thought the writers took _Day of the Dead_ to a new level when they gave "Bub" a sense of emotion. It was a fun movie, and [spoiler]Joseph Pilato played his part almost too good: you couldn't wait to see him get him get his at the end.[/spoiler] By today's standards, granted, this was kind of weak - even the Tom Savini special effects, as good as they were - but it was still enjoyable. I think this marks the third (?) time I've watched it and it's still very watchable. Yes, the acting is sub-par pretty much throughout but hey...it's a zombie movie from the mid '80's so what can you expect? If you're into the zombie genre, I would definitely recommend this one. Just go in with low expectations and enjoy it.
