Dia dos Mortos

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.

Just all around a dreadful occurrence in film history.

The main protagonist checks all the boxes on the "dumb things to do in an apocalypse" checklist. Add to that the massive plot holes and bad acting and you get a recipe for failure.

While the main character is the absolute repository for bad ideas you'd be amazed at how stupid the other characters can be, it's as though they all want to die. For example in one scene zombies flood into the area, this is followed by one of the characters running TOWARD AND PAST the horde of zombies, followed immediately by the protagonist. Naturally these flesh hungry zombies let both individuals pass without harm after all we're watching a terrible movie.

All of this hullabaloo because she needs a zombie alive. Following this massive plot hole what does she do? She kills the one she wanted alive.

This movie is garbage don't bother watching it, I'd watch a 100 hour marathon of The Wiggles before I watched this again.

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.

I built this account just to warn people how bad this film is. save yourselves and dont watch it, its the worst low budget everything under the sun including acting. a film by fans for fans,of themselves...

it should be a crime to use "day of the dead" for garbage like this

Romero is rolling in his grave right now

I gave this movie a chance on Netflix after discovering it on DVD at Wal-Mart. I listened to my wife and streamed it. I am a lifelong zombie horror fan. I own any and every imaginable zombie movie you can think of that is worth owning and have given a chance to quite a few that I have not bought.

I am praising the gods today for my wife being with me at Wal-Mart that day and telling me to hold off on buying this. If there is a rating less than B-rated, this movie is not on that scale. It is without words the biggest crock of garbage I ever watched.

First of all, let's talk about the acting. How dare you put the holy name of "Day of thr Dead" on this and sully the name of George A. Romero! This is a travesty and an insult to his legacy. The acting is terrible, even by zombie film standards.

Now, do not get me wrong, but on paper the story was interesting, but come on man! "Miguel" was a trainwreck from his first appearance. These jackoffs basically attempted to combine the cowardly Miguel Salazar with the jerk Captain Rhodes. It didn't work. Oh, and we gave him a brother! Hot damn, a zombie apocalypse is fun for the whole damn family!

I am fairly certain that the studio responsible is shitting themselves now as they realize they wasted $8 million on a budget for this shit heep. For $8 million, I could write, direct and produce a zombie movie that would make the almighty George smile and approve. And I can find better actors AND hire a special effects team that knows how the human anatomy works!

Recommendation(s): DO NOT WATCH IF YOU'RE A TRUE ZOMBIE HORROR FAN!
