The Reel Film Forum and Soo Zombie Walk Present: George A. Romero’s DAY OF THE DEAD 40th Anniversary Screening – One Night Only!
Get ready, Sault Ste. Marie! George A. Romero’s DAY OF THE DEAD—the apocalyptic final chapter in his legendary zombie trilogy—returns to the big screen for its 40th anniversary, and we’ve secured an exclusive one-night-only screening just for local fans.
DO NOT MISS this rare chance to experience “the darkest day of horror the world has ever known”—as it was meant to be seen: on the big screen, with fellow fans.
Released in 1985, DAY OF THE DEAD is the third entry in Romero’s influential Living Dead series. In a world overrun by the undead, a group of scientists and soldiers take refuge in an underground bunker. But as the outside world crumbles, tensions inside mount—between those holding onto scientific hope and those driven by fear and control. Featuring groundbreaking special effects by Tom Savini and a haunting score by John Harrison, DAY OF THE DEAD remains one of cinema’s most visceral and thought-provoking visions of societal collapse.
Join us in honouring four decades of Romero’s chilling masterpiece—a theatrical experience celebrating the film’s artistry, legacy, and cultural impact.
“This is SFX maestro Tom Savini’s magnum opus… a gorehound’s dream with some of the most intense prolonged set-pieces of carnage ever committed to celluloid… my favourite zombie movie altogether.”
