So imagine, if you will...* The worst of the worst acting you've seen from SyFy Channel original movies * The worst of the wrost acting you've seen from Lifetime movies (my wife watches them all the time so sadly, I'm well experienced) * That awkward friend you had back in your college days that fancied himself an indie filmmaker whose films were far too cringe-worthy and embarrassing to actually laugh at.Add them all together...and the acting in this movie is still WORSE.Between the lead actress over-enunciating every spoken word, to the completely insulting-to-your-intelligence and sophomoric dialogue between characters, this film is a cringe-fest from start to end. Gore effects look like they were made from Campbell's vegetable soup, and zombie makeup, while at some points relatively good, still tend to barely be above amateur.As is typical with modern zombie movies, these aren't Romero shamblers (despite the semi-related title). These are World War Z style super mutants capable of Olympic Athlete levels of gymnastics, superhuman running speed and Herculean strength. When the "Bub" zombie manages to infiltrate the military base, the lone zombie somehow manages to outsmart and outmaneuver an entire contingent of soldiers, stealthily picking off people of the base one by one without a single person catching on...despite how much noise he makes, gore he leaves behind, and how bad he must smell...you know, being a zombie and all. The Captain Rhodes-esque character is so hammed up he makes Spam look like Easter Sunday Honey Baked Ham, with some of the worst dialogue of any character (even worse than my terrible puns). Other villainous characters are typical b-movie lackey types.The main character, a combination of Sarah and Dr. Logan from Day of the Dead, looks like a less-bloated Rhonda Rousey, with probably comparable or even worse acting skill. And again...that over enunciation remains irritating throughout the film. Maybe it's a credit to her speaking ability, but the hard enunciation of each and every independent syllable in a word makes her sound like a robot attempting to mimic human speech patterns.By the halfway point, the movie starts to emulate the original with similar plot points, but ultimately fails to be as captivating as the original, which in the eyes of many is the definitive Romero zombie films, if not the original Dawn. Ultimately, it's a poor attempt to remake a classic film in the genre, and is the THIRD remake of Day of the Dead since 2005.

Day Of The Dead (1985) has held its ground as one of the greatest zombie movies ever made and one of the jewels on the crown of the true king of zombie movies George Romero.When it was remade back in 2008 starring Mena Suvari it understandably flopped, it had big boots to fill and failed spectacularly. For whatever reason 10 years later in what is already shaping up to be one of the worst years in movie history they decided to remake it again.Bloodline is exactly that, it's not just a cashgrab attempting to live off the originals name it is in fact an attempt at a remake. Sadly however they decided to change a great deal and that doesn't sit right with me.It follows our heroine as she lives in the military bunker alongside civilians and soldiers alike. The soldiers vs scientists dynamic that made the original so memorable has been removed altogether.They have a Bub like character, but he is an abusive stalker of our leading lady and is smarter than the rest of the zombies. Relentlessly pursuing her which is interesting but simply not Day Of The Dead.Though I don't think this is bad it certainly isn't good either. It's an offensively inferior remake of a movie that needs to be left the hell alone. All the changes to the plot have done it no favours, the pacing is dreadful, the characters are interchangeable and the "Bloodline" thing is pointlessly tacked on.The Good:Couple of nice nods to the originalLooks better than you'd expectThe Bad:Instantly forgettable charactersAwful pacingSimply shouldn't existThings I Learnt From This Movie:Being bitten by a zombie will cause a mini explosion which sprays blood upwards of ten feetDuring the zombie apocalypse while seeing people being ripped apart and while surrounded by zombies it's best to take a leisurely walk through the middle of it all and have a telephone conversation

As you know, human brain is the most intelligent one among all living on Earth. So, you expect some quality. I never see an animal brain wrote a story, make a movie before, etc... However, WHATever wrote and directed this movie, successfully did something. For humans, of course, you will use bad words every second of the movie. But, if you make your dog watch this movie, it can be okay for it, or any other animal you have.

Everything that could be bad, is bad. The script. The direction. The dialogue. The acting. The overblown, unrealistic special effects. The worse part? They dared sully Romero's legacy. This review requires I say if there are any spoilers. Rest assured, there's nothing anyone can say that could spoil this movie.
