I was looking at the trailer on youtube and it looks like a suckfest. Anyone seen anything more about this movie to make them think it will be any good?
I thought I saw Big Daddy from Land of the Dead but it didn’t check out on IMDb. I give it a big “Meh.” Doubt I’ll be seeing this one.
Sweet zombie Jesus, that looks terrible. I had some hopes for this movie, but after seeing that and reading the scathing and spoiler-filled review at AICN, I’m definitely giving it a pass. This POS should go straight to video (or Hell), no way it deserves a trip on the big screen.
Between this and the Punisher 2 mess, I’m having a bad movie news day.
Mena Suvari, B-movie action hero starlet extraordinaire! Ehhh … 
It’s funny, I’d never pictured her in such a role. I’ve always been torn between whether I find her waify look to be attractive or not, but when she grabs a gun I find myself drawn to her like an experimental-government-virus-infected zombie. Speaking of which: at what point did it become standard operating procedure for zombies to be living people with viruses and/or genetic mutations? Can’t zombies just fucking be dead people like they’re supposed to be? At what point was it agreed upon by filmmakers that living people eating living people had become scarier than dead people eating living people?
I don’t know… I sure love zombie movies… but this… I don’t know. I’m sure I’ll go see it. Just because thats the kinda person I am but I might not like it.
Looked like a bad made for SciFi Channel movie
I caught it a while back and thought, oh dear.
Especially when we know how well a remake of Romero’s movies can be.
Especially when Romero had sort of lost his knack with the original Day of the Dead.
I liked the Dawn Of The Dead remake, but this doesn’t look very good.
I liked the remake of Dawn of the Dead(own the DVD). The running zombies sure as hell were scarier than a bunch of shuffling dead people. This movie just looks like crap. We have to go through the entire story again of everyone trying to figure out what is going on and finally figuring out that you need to shoot them in the head. Very boring. I love zombie movies and was looking forward to this until I saw the trailer. Great original concept, small group trying to survive in a world overrun with zombies. New concept, let’s just rehash the same old shit because we have a built in audience. Grrrr!
From IMDB
Is this a sequel to the 2004 remake of ‘Dawn of the Dead’?
No. This is a stand-alone remake of the original ‘Day of the Dead’ which was a sequel to the original 1978 ‘Dawn of the Dead’. Ving Rhames is in both these remakes but he is playing different characters. The casting of him is purely a marketing ploy to trick people into thinking it is a sequel to the ‘Dawn of the Dead’ remake so the film will make money from both fans of the remake and fans of the original ‘Day of the Dead’. This movie is being made by a different company than the ‘Dawn of the Dead’ remake.
:rolleyes:
They used the Z word. You never use the Z word in a zombie movie. It’s going to suck big time.
The real (1978) Dawn of the Dead used it once. So did Land of the Dead.
Well, to me, Land of the Dead sucked. Ok, the ending sucked so much it ruined the entire movie for me. Woohoo! Everyone’s dead but us so let’s shoot off fireworks as we drive away! Don’t shoot that zombie leader, he’s just lookin for a place to hang out! Yippie!!!
