Despite Anchor Bay's dwindling reputation following the Opera fiasco and some major color timing problems with their much-touted 25th Anniversary Edition of Halloween, fans awaiting a definitive version of George A. Romero's third entry into the Living Dead trilogy may be slightly irritated to learn that Anchor Bay apparently has still not worked out the bugs in their DVD mastering system. And though on the surface this disc appears to be flawless in terms of both video and audio presentation, some of the original dialogue has unfortunately been replaced with an alternate dub that plays down much of the film's shocking profanity. Fortunately, Anchor Bay has seen fit to pack this disc with some truly irresistible extras. The film itself, presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and processed using the relatively new Divimax procedure, is in pristine condition with colors well balanced and solid blacks well represented in the film's endless underground corridors. Likewise, the DTS ES and Dolby Digital EX soundtracks make impressive use of the film's audio with faraway moans and the sounds of dripping water underground literally placing the viewer in the claustrophobic underground compound in which the protagonists struggle to survive. The newly remastered image, combined with the amazing use of audio, really brings new life to the film and is a major improvement over Anchor Bay's previous release of this title. As impressive as the presentation of the film itself is, it's the extras that truly bring this disc to life. A commentary track featuring Romero, producer David Ball, special effects artists Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero, production designer Cletus Anderson, assistant director Chris Romero, and actors Lori Cardille, Joe Pilato, and Howard Sherman may not be as technically insightful as one would hope, but it is nice to hear many key contributors reunited and reminiscing about the trying production. Likewise, a commentary track by writer/director and all-around Day of the Dead fanatic Roger Avery is entertaining for a few juicy bits of background, but it ultimately takes the back seat to the commentary of those who were there firsthand.
