Day of the Dead is a straight to DVD zombie horror about a small Colorado town which is overrun with zombies. As usual a small band of survivors fight to stay alive in the face of a relentless zombie horde and struggle to understand how the outbreak started. This is completely unlike the original Romero film and it would likely receive a better reception if it was released under a different name. Despite boasting a decent cast the writing is unimaginative and the initially stylish fast cut direction becomes repetitive and irritating as the film progresses. The zombies don´t behave like zombies should either and the CG blood splatter is a little too obvious. If you view this as a new low budget zombie flick then there´s some entertainment to be had but not a lot.
Gore - some good make-up and a ton of CG blood splatter
Zombies - these are´t proper zombies, they run and jump and climb walls, they even shoot guns and drive trucks
