Dawn, Day or Land in terms of gore....

**Doc** · 01-Feb-2008

In terms of gore which is your favorite?

Also for the people who keep saying Lands gore was toned down a bit.....what are talking about? I from what I've seen it's probably the goriest out of the series.....the only problem being the scenes are to short.

Day had the most well done gore, hands down.

**SRP76** · 01-Feb-2008

I say Dawn. Realistic effects.

**Mike70** · 01-Feb-2008

day hands down. easily.

rhodes getting ripped in half, by itself kicks the ass off of the gore in the other two films.

okay, i've thrown down my gage about this thread.

I'd toss my coin with Dawn on one side and Day on the other. Right now I'm thinking Day'. Hard call though.

I like the Gore in Day...just awesome, Land is good but as stated the scenes are short...Dawn would be my least favorite based on the Gore factor

im gonna have to go with day, i liked lands gore but had too many cg effects.

**Anthony C** · 02-Feb-2008

of the three films... Day by far is the goriest...

Day: vicious, sadistic, the stuff of nightmares.

Clearly I'm going with Day, it has the best FX not only in the series, but in ALL of horror movie cinema, hands down.

Dawn has many classic gore moments, but with the lower budget, earlier FX techniques etc it doesn't play as well over time, or as good as they might have with better techniques - however this plays into the comic book style of the film, and to me it's my favourite all-time movie ever-ever-ever.

Land has superb make up FX, but the inclusion of CGI is a bit annoying - although considering the schedule for the film, as GAR has mentioned it was pressurised, I can fully understand why they used CGI and completely forgive it. For the most part I don't notice it - some are quite noticeable, but I still love the gag itself - e.g. Zombie Priest.

Land did however, also use CGI in a fantastically non-obvious way. Watching the CGI featurette on the DVD and seeing a bunch of things that were CGI that I thought were actually real was amazing - e.g. Riley and Charlie exiting the underground - I was flabbergasted when I found out that was entirely CGI.

But in all respects - technique, iconic nature etc - Day wins hands down, in the whole of horror cinema as well. BEST. ZOMBIES. EVER.

Day, and then Land. Dawn doesn't have that great gore effects really. I know lots of films that have better.

**Legion2213** · 02-Feb-2008

Rhodes being ripped apart is awesome, Day wins out just for that (and the inards falling out of that zombie in Logan's lab).

BTW, I know that the CGI core in the theatrical release of Land was toned down, they added a good bit more to the directors cut.

I agree totally. I think Day's effects are pretty amazing.

And you'll remember why it has the best gore. From the shovel in the head to just every single zombie's makeup to Rhodes' awesome death, this is the best! Tom Savani's masterpiece. I believe Romero has also stated that he considers this his best film.
