dmdb I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!I must admit I expected more, the casting is cool, as well as the story taken from the original, but... something went wrong. Zombies are bad, really, really BAD. Now imagine MJ singing this in his Thriller zombie costume! That is probably the only thing I don't like. When you watch a remake, you already know what will happen, and you expect to see that old story again in some new form, like other 'modern' films... this one had a potential for that, but failed. Zombies shouldn't be so fast, and camera in those parts is bad, too. I blame producers for this, instead of giving money to Ving Rhames and Mena Suvari, they should have gave it to someone who knows how to create and shoot zombie-fight scenes. Then the movie would be cool even without known actors.I watched it only because I like movies about apocalypse, and if you imagine it like that - it is watchable! I was able to watch it to the end. All craziness caused by zombie outbreak is 'realisic', so I can't regret watching this.5/10

DigitalRevenantX7 A small town in Colorado is placed under quarantine by the US military when it is hit by a mysterious flu-like virus. Corporal Sarah Cross, a former resident of the town, & her family & a couple of soldiers are the only survivors when the infected turn into fast-moving flesh-eating zombies. Barely escaping a bloodbath at the local hospital, they seek shelter in a nearby nuclear missile silo. But what they don't know is that the silo they're in is also a clandestine military research facility where the virus originated.George A. Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD was the third in his landmark zombie series & his personal favourite, a film that was incredible in its depiction of a world gone mad as it fell into the hands of the zombie hordes as a group of increasingly unstable human survivors hiding out in a nuclear silo attempt to find a way to destroy the zombies, only to fall prey to their own destructive impulses. Since then, the film has become a cult classic due to its intelligent script & awesomely gory visuals.Since the millennium, the zombie genre has received a boost thanks to the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD & the British chiller 28 DAYS LATER. Zombies became popular again, since then spawning about a hundred such films over the past fourteen years. In 2007, Millennium Films, purveyor of heaps of cheap & nasty Steven Seagal action flicks, decided to buy the rights to the remake of Day of the Dead & make it their way. Getting on board is Steve Miner, director of films such as Friday THE 13TH PART 2, Friday THE 13TH PART 3 & HALLOWEEN H20: 20 YEARS LATER. These films suggest that Miner's expertise lay in slasher films, but that won't stand in his way to make a zombie film.The original Day of the Dead was an underrated masterpiece, only recently getting more fans thanks to lovingly crafted DVDs & the resurgence of the zombie boom. But this remake is the complete opposite – a travesty that fails to reach the original's level & a dead weight in the genre. For a zombie film, this remake neglects its potential fanbase & was made in the same cheap way that the studio had did with its other films – shooting the film in Romania & hiring American youngsters who had a brief 15 minutes of fame in the film & were seen no more after this.Steve Miner is a director whose specialty is in making slasher sequels (he did have a minor hit with the supernatural time travel flick Warlock but that was about it), not zombie films. It shows in this effort, Miner's lack of familiarity with the type of film he is making proving to be apparent here. The script has been haphazardly written, with only minor lip service paid to link it with the original – the nuclear silo from the original was the main setting for the story – here it is nothing more than the setting for the climax; the characters of Dr. Logan & Captain Rhodes are here but changed drastically & have negligible impact. And the zombies themselves… The zombies in this flick are nothing more than a cynical marketing ploy to draw in those who are naïve in their expectations about watching horror remakes – another corpse to add to the pile. Here the creatures have been designed to copy the success of the fast-moving zombies in Dawn of the Dead & 28 Days Later with no limits to how they move – they can even climb on ceilings! This really breaks with established zombie film rules – there's even a stupidly-written scene where the survivors encounter a group of zombie soldiers charging forward whilst firing M16s in the air. This was the final straw for my expectations.Yet after all that, the film does have a couple of pluses in my book. The acting is reasonable & the action scenes, even after you deduct points for lack of care put into it, work with a reasonable intensity that will entertain slightly. That keeps the film from sinking into the lowest score.George A. Romero would be insulted by this stupid flick.

denis888 Mena Suvari is a sweet decent actress. she shone in several 90's movies, whether they were comedies, or erotic dramas, but here she tries her hand at a horror flick. Did she do well? I can say, that maybe she personally was not bad, but the movie itself is a mediocre attempt to make yet another zombie kill film. They are aplenty, they run, kill, eat, attacks, roar, yell and do frighten... There is nothing new, and all the clichés are here galore. That was not a really poor film, but so predictable, so obvious, that yawn appeared soon, and ReWind button became a Must. Sad but true, the movie drags along and never grabs our real attention. Can be viewed once and then very quickly forgotten

Captain-Rhodes When I heard that Day of the Dead was being remade, the mere thought sounded absurd. I mean that is one of, if not THE BEST zombie films of all time! But you never know, could be interesting, right? Like the Dawn of the Dead remake? Wrong.This is honestly the most boringly awful "zombie" "film" (I used these two terms VERY loosely here) I have ever seen, and I watch all I can find.Even if you try to pretend this movie has nothing in common with the original, it's still beyond atrocious. Not even remotely half-way through this movie I was craving for it to be over.The actors who portray characters-in-name-only of the ones from the original film, are pretty mediocre. Ving Rhames' presence could have been good considering how great he was in the Dawn of the Dead remake, but even he couldn't save this mess.The movie seemed very anti-climactic throughout with a very boring and forgettable score. Terrible CGI, terrible gore, etc.This "movie" isn't even worth an in-depth review, because it seems they didn't even put in a decent amount of effort.Avoid this movie like a horde of zombies. Watch the original Day of the Dead (1985) instead, as well as Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Dawn of the Dead (1978).
