Day of the Dead (1985)
There is no denying George Romero made the zombie film what it still is today. Coming swinging out of the gate with 'Night...' and then solidifying his influence with 'Dawn...', now there's 'Day...' but this is a slightly different beast altogether. You'll soon see why. The apocalypse is in full swing. Cities are decimated and a very small band of survivors is desperately trying to find out if there are any other people struggling now that the undead are everywhere. In an old underground military complex, a couple of scientists and some leftover soldiers are looking for a way to survive. Well, the scientists are trying to either discover if they can reverse the zombie outbreak, except for one. See, the eldest scientist is attempting to understand how zombies work and to that end, he is almost domesticating one example he affectionately calls Bub. Bub does have traits that indicate he somehow remembers things from his past and he doesn't try to bite...
