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

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

George Romero directed "Day of the Dead" in 1985, a nihilistic little masterpiece. Director Steve Miner would release a film by the same name in 2008.Fans of Romero's film were unsurprisingly disappointed with Miner's feature. Romero was political, unconventional, satirical, and took his time when building tension. Miner, in contrast, is simply interested in making a teen slasher movie. In his film, humans run from monsters. End of story.Still, at the very least, Miner's trashy film is more tolerable than Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead", a 2004 remake of Romero's 1978 horror classic of the same name. Where Snyder tries desperately to be cool, hip and glossy, and where Synder tries pathetically to "construct characters with depth", Miner's content with basics: humans run from monsters. Shoot. Print. End of story.Actress Sarah Polley was the only bright spot in Snyder's flick. Mena Suvari, cute in uniform, is similarly one of the few bright spots in Miner's. She plays Sarah Bowman, a US Army Corporal struggling to escape a Colorado town infested with zombies. Like most bad horror movies, or most contemporary remakes derived from allegorical source-material, the "monsters" here are now something "literal" and "carefully explained": the product of a government designed virus gone haywire. Such literalism epitomises Miner's entire film; humans run from monsters. End of story.6.9/10 - With little connection to Romero's film, Miner's "Dawn" works fairly well as a standalone, B-movie. Worth one viewing.

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).
