While this movie is the one in the series that is most ripped apart (although favored by Romero himself), this movie does create some of the most interesting ideas in the series. Bub is an amazing character. While Romero nearly created the zombie film in the 1960s, he reinvented it in the 1980s with this movie.
Giving Bub the ability to function is a great precursor to the lead zombie he would create in "Land of the Dead" decades later. You can't help but feel that if "Land of the Dead" had been made immediately after "Day of the Dead", the lead zombie would have been Bub himself!
While this movie is not the best of Romero's series, it does hold a special place in the pantheon of horror movies.
