    An insult to George A. Romero's original....and all other zombie horror films for that matter

    Where do I begin? This 'remake' is so bad I'm almost lost for words. It's simpler just to list why you should avoid watching it:

    a) From the very beginning it feels like a made-for-TV movie.

    b) The story is predictable, has no cohesion and no suspense at anytime.

    c) It never scares or surprises you as a zombie film should.

    d) The characters are very stereotypical and the acting is dire.

    e) How and why Ving Rhames got involved in this is a mystery (Dawn of the Dead remake this ain't).

    f) The special effects are mostly terrible.

    g) It makes you laugh during scenes which are supposed to shock you.

    h) It rip's off so many ideas done much better in other films, including 28 Days/Weeks Later, Resident Evil and The Thing.

    You probably get the idea now that I didn't like this film. You'd be right. Don't waste 2 hours of your life watching this, go for a walk instead.

    The Day of the Horror is Dead............

    First things if you expecting a Horror - forget it, this movie is more comical, whether was intended i do not know, but this version is more a spoof. 18 certificate my ar**, this movie is more like a movie which wants to be turned into a video game. The feel of the movie is definately comic book action. not saying it a bad film - just does not deserve realtion to G. Romero classic. Its all dumb fun??? , which makes this just about watchable, but if being honest - the Zombies are really bad - and i do not mean bad as in scary - i mean they just seriously not scary - and the director made a bad choice making them to climb walls, ceiling, etc. just ruins the intelligence of viewers.
