If I don't see at least one set of intestines set free from the body they came in, it hasn't been a Zombie movie. I have to say that the Zombie & gore effects were better in Day than I have seen in any horror movie since. Todays CG just can't match the viceral look of all the crazy things FX crews created with everyday items (foam rubber, syrup, tubing, etc..) back in the 70's and 80's.

Tell me about it; a perfect example of this would be Resident Evil. Zombie movies are not about bullet time or running down the side of a building, or performing Matrix like moves, while the camera preforms a 360 degree turn around
Like you said, it has not been done better since Day of the Dead, hell, they even used real intestines
. CG has ruined horror movies, we dont need any more House of the Dead's or Resident Evil's, give me the old school horror. This is why Im excited about Romero getting the green light,
