Always been a huge fan of Day of the Dead - many detractors claim it is too "shouty" and claustrophobic... but these are qualities that make the film work, especially after the shopping-mall setting of Dawn.
Rhodes is plain nasty, and the good guys are all likeable (apart from the noob who cracks up, but at least he loses his guts and gets his arm chopped off to cheer us up) so we really want them to escape at the end.
Dr Frankenstein's nurturing of Bud is always intriguing without descending into farce, and there is still room for one or two comedy moments in the film (the Irish dude is hilarious) without detracting from the terror.
The start is great - those sudden hands through the wall by the calendar are startling, and what about that alligator?
