Chicago – Scream Factory refuses to let up, releasing four more stellar Blu-ray editions that will just add to the debt of hardcore horror fans. Not all four of these films are great on their own but they’re all great Blu-ray releases, full of special features and with some truly amazing transfers. Genre junkies, like myself, should own all four, even “Psycho III.” Sorry. Maybe you can take out a loan. It’s not my fault. Don’t shoot the horror messenger.
The first thing one notices about any of the four new Scream Factory releases this month — “Psycho II,” “Psycho III,” “Prince of Darkness,” and “Day of the Dead” — is that they look absolutely fantastic. Scream Factory’s HD transfers are approaching the best on the market, up there with the Criterion Collection. “Day of the Dead,” in particular, is just stunning. I’ve seen the movie several times,...

When George A. Romero's Day of the Dead premiered on Friday, July 19, 1985, it was released in the same fashion that his Dawn of the Dead was distributed seven years earlier, which is to say without an MPAA rating. The poster sported the caveat (or allure, depending on your point of view): “Due to scenes of violence, which may be considered shocking, no one under 17 admitted.” Widely considered as an independent maverick in the film industry, Mr. Romero once again decided not to submit his film to the ratings board knowing full well that they would demand extensive cuts, leaving most of Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero’s best work on the cutting room floor. One of the major problems with releasing a film unrated is that the perception is that it is, in fact, a self-imposed X-rating. An “X” generally means death at the box office,...

To get it out of the way, I’m am going to alert you to the fact that Day of the Dead is not only my favorite Romero film, but quite frankly, I think it’s the best zombie film that has ever been made. I often refer to it as the “Empire Strikes Back” of George Romero’s Dead Saga. The atmosphere is dark and claustrophobic, the performances are all exceptional, despite the fact that some refer to them as over-the-top. Actors used to actually portray characters at one point in cinematic history. Some still do, but for the most part, popular actors generally just play a version of their own self in any given movie that they appear in. The zombies in the film, save for the few extras that are wearing zombie masks rather than being touched-up with Savini’s excellent makeup effects, are the best looking,...
