One thing the current batch of remakes of late-70s and 80s grindhouse and horror misses completely are the stand-out performances; indeed, Wes Craven, George A. Romero, and Stuart Gordon might be better directors of actors that we’d like to give them credit for.
The above scene features two examples from one 1985 film, long time character actor Howard Sherman’s sublime turn as the guinea zombie “Bub” and Richard Liberty’s mad, sad “Doctor Logan” in the third film of Romero’s zombie-social crisis cycle, the woefully underrated Day of the Dead.
