This fantastic two-disc set gives the third part of George A. Romero's zombie trilogy (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, etc.) its proper due. More zombies roam the earth, but this time scientists capture one, name it "Bub" and teach it to shave. Darker and more contained than the first two, this is one film that deserves a second look. (It is reportedly the director's personal favorite.) Features two commentary tracks -- one by Romero and his crew and one by Rules of Attraction director Roger Avary -- and much more.
