DVD Reviews of Day of the Dead
DVD Review: Why didn't they use Romero's original script?
Summary: 2 Stars
What a fantastic opportunity they had with this film. With a few revisions, Romero's original script could have made a much better film than this one is. While it's good that there's more than one woman in this movie, Sarah should have remained a scientist, and there is no need for the Trevor character to be her brother. They took away the brilliant madness of Dr. Logan, who is not a hospital clinician, but one of the creators of the virus. Salazar is annoying, and the romantic tension between he and Sarah is totally gone, replaced by a thoroughly inappropriate pseudo-relationship with Bud. And the whole idea of the super-zombie has become absolutely overdone. Real zombie terror is generated by a slow zombie, who kills you through your own stupidity.
One more thing: What is it with these movies with killing off the medics? Can't any Doctors or nurses (Sarah Polley's character doesn't seem to have much knowledge of medicine or biology) survive a zombie movie?
DVD Review: Five Star by Far
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a great zombie movie acting,picture quality effects and most of all the zombie's are awsome a must see IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DVD Review: 5 Star Worthy
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no idea what movie you people that rate this movie under 4 were watching, but it couldn't have been this one!!!!!!!!!!! The acting in this movie is fantastic, the picute is nice and crisp and clear. The title is not meant to be a remake of Day Of The Dead, clearly it has a subtitle "Day Of The Dead - The Need To Feed" The story of this movie is good and it came together well. As for the special effects, I thought they were very good and not low budget. All you people that rated it under 4 were watching this movie looking for it to be a remake of George Romero's film and that is why you rated it so low. You have to watch this movie as if it were just another zombie movie and you will like it. I watched it twice the day I bought it.DVD Review: Not total garbage, but not a remake either...
Summary: 3 Stars
I will now join the small minority that thought "Day of the Dead" 2008 is not a total piece of garbage. The buzz for the movie was bad from the onset, so my expectations were low. That, perhaps, got me through the movie.
Steve Miner took a lot from his slasher movie roots, especially in the first forest run of fear from the killer. Many points in the movie, including bodies falling from hiding places and standard slasher suprises pepper the movie.
But I do put a premium on zombie feasts and zombie kills, and this movie is chock full of them. The outbreak takes place pretty early in the movie, and we are treated to an all out zombie assault on the small Colorado town like I don't think I've seen in movies before. It's a zombie free-for-all that the protagonists have to fight their way through, dropping zombies left and right. I really liked this segement of the movie, and in those moments, redeemed the bad reputation it had garnered before I watched it.
As a disciple of Romero, I naturally am not happy with more people cashing in on his works. But if this movie makes people want to explore the original, then bully for "Day..." 2008.
My other gripe was that the zombies were like ninjas in some parts. Fast moving. OK. Ninja attacks from walls and ceilings. Nnnnnnnnnnnnno!
In all seriousness, its a "Day..." for big pharmas Ritalin generation. Fast paced and wild, it was still fun, even for this Romero acolyte.
DVD Review: Eh
Summary: 3 Stars
Alright, this isn't a remake. This is a movie that takes the name of a previous movie. With that in mind, it's not completely horrible. The effects of this movie and acting is pretty decent for a quick release of a horror movie with a lot to live up to. The only thing of the movie that made me turn my head, extremely flammable zombies/exploding heads. I never got that, but oh well, cool effects anyways!!!!
Description of Day of the Dead
Nick Cannon, Mena Suvari and Ving Rhames star in this horror film based on the George A. Romero classic zombie film. A mysterious virus has infected the small town of Leadville, Colorado, and the military is brought in to enforce a quarantine and stop the spread of the disease. As people perish, survivors realize that the virus is creating the walking dead who crave human flesh. Only a small number of people are immune to the virus, and those few survivors must battle to fend off the infected zombies while trying to make it out of town alive.General DVDs
