PeterBradford Nick Cannon plays the saddest excuses of a Hollywood stereotype of a black man. I am surprise Ving Rhames didn't take Nick aside and bitch slap him for accepting such a part. This film had potential. All of the other actors (besides the awful Cannon) were good. The efforts were good. The zombie make-up top notch. The dizzy- inducing camera work was bad. The film did capture that same oppressive feeling Romero captured in his original, although the story lines are completely different. But Cannon's presence is about as offensive as it gets.

darth-tobe This film didn't make sense on so many different levels. Now, of course, it's a work of fantasy but I strongly believe that a story can be a completely dreamed up and still make sense in its own set of rules. This one doesn't have any.A few minor spoilers to illustrate the point: the little town this is set in is literally a dead end - there's only a single road in or out. I'd like to see the topography! All soldiers sent in to quarantine the town are armed, except one, and others even make fun of him. He's essentially this film's Jar Jar Binks. Another soldier is issued a gun but no ammunition - and this is never explained. Said soldier abandons her post, uses a military vehicle to make private house calls and doesn't even get frowned at by her superior officer. The infection takes precisely as long to break out as it needs to - call it "Gandalf". A few zombies retain their personality but only those that make the story more interesting. Add to that a few bland characters that you couldn't care less about and one black character that's so stereotypical it's almost offensive.On the whole the movie tries and fails to copy from big names of the genre, not only the original Day of the Dead but also 28 Days Later and Resident Evil. Sadly, the result is not even remotely scary nor inventive. It gets a 3 only because the satisfying gory visuals reminded me of what World War Z should have looked like.

Realrockerhalloween Two horror writers Jeffery Reddrick and Steven Miner take over the remake to day about a town under seize of the undead. The military moves in to contain it from spreading when they find out the dark secrets leading to its cause.The military created a virus, a.k.a resident evil, to fight terrorism and now its leaked to the unsuspecting populace.Following the trend of early 2000 horror tropes it consists of cheap scares, famous or good looking teens who can't act and dark lighting for atmosphere. Nick Cannon should stuck to singing.The zombies had great makeup, but the standard slouch is replaced by crawling up walks and moving fast across vents like super mutants. This effect alone made many potential creepy scenes like the hospital massacre cheesy and quite humorous.These characters make one stupid mistake after another like the boy who sees his zomified mother and runs out into a crowded street full of rotting bodies to get her or the army waiting so long to take action making them ineffective institution when a new recruit recognizes the danger right away.One ingredient missing from this travesty is the moral implications and philosophy you become accustomed to leaving it a hollow shell.I didn't bat an eye lash it even win razzes awards that year in all categories and was negativity received by fans.

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.
