This third documentary on the works of George Romero really hit me in the feels and further saddened me about his passing. The man was a genius and we simply didn't get enough of his work.This focuses entirely on 1985 classic Day Of The Dead and provides fantastic interviews with all the surviving cast and crew.The documentary provides backstage footage, production stories and pulls the veil back on how some of the horrific gory special effects were pulled off which I believe were well ahead of their day.It addresses the poor reception and the movies cult status.I really enjoyed it and though it does seem to drag it provides a lot of highly interesting content that any fan of Day Of The Dead will enjoy.The Good: Highly insightful The Bad: Spotty in places Things I Learnt From This Documentary: Gary Howard Klar has never read the bibleSmoking during an interview makes you look like a disrespectful toolBub on a girls butt cheek sounds like the least sexy tattoo ever

At World's End: The Making of 'Day of the Dead' (2013)*** 1/2 (out of 4) This 85-minute documentary can be found on the Shout Factory! release of DAY OF THE DEAD and features interviews with George Romero, Tom Savini, Lori Cardille, Anthony Dileo, Jr., Sherman Howard, Joseph Pilato, Mark Tierno, John Harrison, Anthony DiLeo and many others who were involved in the production. There has been quite a bit of bonus material made for this film so this here really takes things to the next level and really gives fans a details look into the making of the film.Pretty much every aspect of the production is covered from Romero's original script, how the film got made and of course the budget that was cut due to the director not being able to deliver a R-rated film. Many of the stories from the previous documentary and commentary tracks are repeated here but there's some new material as well as a few new things from Romero. Romero talks about the original screenplay and says that it really wasn't that big of a deal that he had to cut it down. He really downplays the legendary or mythical "epic" scale of it. He also continues to say that DAY is his favorite of the series but then states that SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD is his second favorite and he mentions how he hopes that film eventually finds an audience like this one did.Obviously, if you're a fan of DAY OF THE DEAD then this here is a must see because there are just so many cast and crew members telling stories. Even better is that we're really given all sorts of details about the cast's reaction to fans and critics originally hating the film and then there's some nice talk about how the movie's popularity has grown over the years.

Before I began to watch this documentary, I thought to myself "Oh no. They're going to repeat the same information from the last documentary."Surprisingly, they don't. They have new stories to tell us. Although, Romero, Cardille, Piloto, Sherman and Savani tell us the same info though. Which is way I'm giving this a 9.Romero said that the original script was that the film was very epic and had big action scenes. But due to the film's budget, the action scenes were taken out. But those scenes were later used in Land of the Dead.It's nice to see the rest of the cast and crew who weren't interviewed in the last doc. Anthony (for some strange reason, everyone calls him "Tim") talks about how he stayed in character throughout the whole of the shoot, Gary Klar talks about how he auditioned for Rhodes, but landed the role of Steele because Romero liked the fact that he was the big guy who had to be beside Piloto's little guy.Piloto talks about how he was worried that he was going over the top. I think him going over the top made him scary. John Harrison said that when the crew were taking the alligator out of the truck for the Florida scene, they accidentally dropped it and hurt it's snout. If you watch the film, the alligator's snout is bleeding. They talk about filming in the mines and how there were bats in there.The Make up effects team talk about how they made each effect and how one of the men sent Tom Savani to the hospital after spraying him the face with a fire extinguisher.Yes, Piloto talks about what happens in his death scene. I've heard it before.Then they talk about how the movie bombed and the bad reviews it got. The film also failed because it came out the same time as Return of the Living Dead, which added to the confusion. Lori Cardille said that her family went to see "Return" and told that they couldn't find her in the film.Also, people wanted it to be like "Dawn" again and they got something else which disappointed them.Polito said he was upset when he saw Siskel and Ebert review the film and saying "Here's an example of the horrible acting" and showing a clip of him shouting.But then they talk about how this film developed a huge cult following on video. They talk about meeting fans and how much they loved this film.In the ending credits, the cast recite their lines.A hugely enjoyable doc for "Day" fans. Although they could've shorten the title. There's two "Of the"'s.
