"The Darkest Day Of Horror The World Has Ever Known."	Year of Release: 1978 Directed by: George A. Romero Running Time: Approx. 102 minutes Rating: Not Rated Listing on the A.K.A. Page: Nope! A Second Opinion: Sci-Film Buy it on new or used DVD at: Amazon.com. My Rating:

Sarah- Scientist (?) who's helping Dr. Logan to find a way to either control or eradicate the zombie menace.

Dr. Logan- A borderline mad scientist (rightfully nick-named Dr. Frankenstein) who is trying to find a way to control the zombie population. Shot by Captain Rhodes.

Captain Rhodes- New leader of the army unit. This guy has a screw loose and gets what he deserves in the end. Shot by Bub and eaten by zombies.

Miguel- Soldier who's having a nervous breakdown. Gets an arm hacked off and is eaten by an army of zombies in the end.

John and "the Irish radio guy"- John is a Jamaican helicopter pilot. His counterpart whom I've deemed the Irish radio guy, is a drunken Irish-man who's supposed to reach anyone on a radio. They both escape with Sarah to a deserted isle.

Bub- A rather cute zombie that Dr. Logan was experimenting with. He shows many human characteristics (e.g.- Listening to music, shaving, reading, and evening speaking at one point) and avenges the death of Dr. Logan.

The Zombies- It's been years since the dead have been rising from their graves, and now it appears as though they have completely taken over the world (well Florida anyways).

This is the third film in the "Night of the Living Dead Trilogy." Why is it that the sequels (of most trilogies) get worse with each outing? Hasn't Hollywood learned? Not that I can tell. I'm not saying that this movie is bad, it's just not as scary, funny, or exciting as the previous entries of the series. The movie mainly focuses around a group of scientists and military officers (along with John and the "Irish radio-guy") who are holding their own in an old military missile silo. As far as they can tell, they are the only living people left in the world.
During the movie Sarah, her colleagues, and Dr. "Frankenstein" Logan are attempting to discover a way to either destroy or control the zombie population. Meanwhile Captain Rhodes takes over after the head officer dies. He and the other soldiers threaten the researchers and demand immediate results. It's around this time where we meet "Bub." I don't care what anyone says, Bub is rather cute and even (in a sick, twisted kind of way) loveable. Dr. Logan does a series of experiments with Bub involving the use of a razor, gun (unloaded), book, and also a walkman. Rhodes gets pissed off because they've been wasting time on "teaching" a zombie.
In my opinion though it's not all that bad of an idea. It's very possible that they could have, over a very, very long time, began to condition the behavior of zombies. Oh I almost forgot about poor Miguel. This poor bastard is having a nervous breakdown through most of the film. On an excursion to round up a few zombies for Dr. Logan's experiments, one escapes and takes a bite out of a soldier. Miguel is also bitten by one of the undead and then has his arm hacked off. Talk about bad luck. Anyways it's later discovered that Dr. Logan has been feeding Bub the remains of Rhodes' fallen comrades.
This makes Rhodes very unhappy and he pumps Dr. Logan full of lead. He then puts Sarah and her drunken Irish pal into the "specimen area" which is a huge cave full of zombies. They run through, later followed by John. As this is all going on, Miguel, who's been in shock for the second half of the moive, comes to his senses and does something very hasty. He opens up the silo and lets an army of zombies in. He of course is eaten as are the other soldiers. Rhodes runs into Bub who had found a gun earlier, and is shot several times, then eaten by zombies (as Rhodes dies, Bub mockingly salutes the dishonorable soldier). In the end, Sarah, John, and the drunken Irish radio-guy escape in a helicopter to a deserted tropical island (In the Florida Keys perhaps) to live, relax, and procreate.

Soldier: "Hey. Ya find anything?"
John: "Yeah. A bunch of real estate at close out prices mon!"

Soldier: "C'mon you dicks! Here's a nice one hangin'! C'mon you dumb f*@#s!"
