This is another zombie film that I avoided for a long time, but just recently gave in to watching.I already knew that this was just a cash-in (and unofficial sequel) of the original masterpiece, but felt I HAD to watch it sooner or later.I tried to go in with an open mind, but it was pretty fruitless to say the least. There is one good thing, however, to say about this movie. It is better than the 2008 remake of Day of the Dead. That's about it.Where to begin? The plot tried so hard to be different but failed miserably. The score was so forgettable I don't even remember it. At all. The actors may have tried their best with what they had to work with, but that wasn't enough. Gore and zombie make-up/action was also pathetic.This is currently my second-least favorite zombie movie, with the first being the horrifyingly bad 2008 remake.In short, don't waste your time unless you are like me and have to watch any zombie film you can get your hands on.Watch the 1985 original, along with George A. Romero's other zombie films.

View MoreAfter finding a sealed canister on their grounds one day, inmates at a psychiatric hospital begin to undergo a strange metamorphosis and eventually learn the hospital was the site of a military accident involving a virus that brings the dead to life and now follow that action.This here turned out to be quite a terrible and overall disjointed effort. One of the biggest issues is the fact that the film takes so long to introduce the zombie pathogen that it's almost hard to believe that was the main focus of the plot the entire time. While the fact that they're changing throughout after being exposed and it generates a fair amount of tension as the deterioration keeps occurring and changing them, the fact that this takes place at a mental hospital means the entire time is spent around those that are way too mentally-stunted to understand the obvious, more-so how the virus got loose among them in the first place being the high-point of their stupidity that makes no sense were that to occur in the real world. As well, the fact that there's about ten different subplots surrounding the inmates that don't really make any real point of interest in the whole film that these combined efforts force the zombie carnage until the very end of the film. Even still, these scenes are rather lame with various extras being swarmed over by the zombies as they scream in panic yet nothing is shown of the body dismemberment or entrails removing that seems to pop-up in the scene, leaving the gore to remain in the opening carnage flashback scene as well as the assault at the end on the human assistants, which gets some points but overall, this isn't anything we haven't seen before and done better which leaves this one lacking considerably.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
... View MoreThis is less of a review and more of a warning. You might be suckered into thinking that this trash has something to do with Romero's classic it has not.I was really interested to hear that they were going to make a sequel to G Romero's Day of the Dead, then I found out he was not involved. Just as well as this is number 3 on the all time terrible list for zombie movies. This movie has nothing to do with the first movie and has a first when you become a zombie you become telepathic... tele-pathetic more like... avoid this unless you enjoy pain......If they had let it stand on its own merits rather than trying to lay claim to a classic this would have just been pathetic. As it is its not so bad its good its just play bad. I love bad horror movies but this one left me completely cold. It was another one of those movies I suffered at Frought fest. That was when I could be bothered to go.
... View MoreI have seen many really bad films during my lifetime, but trust me dear reader, this is one of the worst ones. I am quite surprised this isn't already on the IMDb Bottom 100 list.Where do I start? Plot is non-existent, or at least it has too many giant gaps to hold together something that could actually resemble a plot. Characters are made out of cardboard and only redeeming fact is that the most annoying person, the stereotypical, annoying and plotting junkie actually dies but hat is NOT an excuse to waste more than an hour of your precious lifetime to this garbage! Director doesn't seem to have any idea how to make this movie work. Pointless and irrelevant things are happening and they are never explained.Special effects... oh, dear Lord... no muzzle flashes, nor empty shells flying out from the cartridge chamber, no slide moving. This must be the worst case of any weapon-effects ever made! Even some shitty shoelace-budgeted Finnish indie films from '90s got better special effects than this when it comes to weaponry, and that's a lot to say! Not to mention other 'effects' which are just ridiculous. With a budget of seven million, one should at least get some muzzle flashes and actually decent effects, but don't expect to see any decent ones in this film.Overall; DO NOT watch this film! This one has got absolutely nothing to do with Romero's amazing trilogy. This is just a mess.... Honestly, what more one can say about this? Don't watch!
