What does George think of Day now?
Glad you asked! He has called Day his favorite of the series for over ten years now, always maintaining that its ‘scarier and more mature’ than his previous zombie films. It’s definitely a purer horror film. This is from his 8/1/02 airing of The Directors on Encore Channel: “Alot of people think of Day as the least successful of the three zombie films, but it happens to be my favorite for some reason….when you try to rank them as how successful you think they are, so much of that is personality, is the time you had making it, the people, how much fun did you have and did you enjoy it…the nostalgia. Beyond that there’s something about it that I think is the most apocryphal…the idea that maybe these things are developing intelligence, a scientist that is actually feeding them…I like that about it. There are things that I can’t even see. Everything about it was such a good time. I particularly loved the score.
