Day of the Dead: Bloodline

From what I understood, Day of the Dead Bloodline is supposed to be a remake of Day of the Dead (1985).

Now I must state for the record that I am not a fan of remakes as they usually fall flat, and I can't understand the need for them in the first place, and it shows a lack of originality as well.

With that statement out of the way, Day of the Dead Bloodline was in fact far inferior to the original Day of the Dead, though to be fair it bares very little in common to the original.

The acting was amateurish and the script was poorly written. The effects were actually pretty good, with the only exception being blood constantly expelled with explosive force from people being attacked, which is fine if you are watching a comedy but not so much in a supposed horror movie.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend this movie, though if you have nothing else to do and want to watch it, go ahead, just don't expect something memorable.

Why are people intent on wasting money making poor movies. After 2 minutes you can clearly tell that this is going to be an awful movie.

Since when do people explode blood when bitten. What was the zombie wiping the wind screen with blood inside the car all about?

Poor script with even worse acting.

Zombie movies have literally been done to death, no pun intended. Nowadays the expectation is for something slightly less unoriginal, with a huge budget, and the usual shocks and scares. Sadly this one fails on both counts, there is absolutely nothing original, and the budget was evidently fairly low, as at times it looks a little cheap. The start was pretty decent, and the Zombie stalker thing was perhaps a little different. The acting was sadly a little below par too.

4/10

First, I'll be entirely honest. I absolutely hate remakes. 99% of them are utter crap, made by no talent pinheads trying to use an existing success to lure chumps in to see their crappy, ill thought out tax break films. This is no different. I didn't think that there could be a worse remake of Day than that horrible 2008 version, but this one is EVEN WORSE. Someone should make a movie where George Romero comes back as a Zombie and KILLS everyone even thinking of making another remake of one of his movies. This has everything bad. Acting. Storyline. Plot. Even the zombies are bad. At 90 minutes long it felt like three times that. Just a horrible waste of time.

This is one of those time when I wished I had listened to my gut feeling. It said avoid this trash but I was like how bad can it be? As bad as Day of the dead Contagion (a turkey which had nothing to do with the original movie)? As bad as the Steve Miner one? It is on a par with the Miner movie. It just feels like a generic zombie trash movie. Like zombies of mass destruction or zombie planet to name two from the cannon of so bad they are awful zombie movies. The movie itself is just generic zombie schlock. If they had called in zombies in Mexico then it just would have been a 2 out of ten trash movie. Saying it is based on the George Romero movie is an insult. Watch this at your own peril.
