Day of the Dead: Bloodline

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.

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.

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

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 is it with a budget of 8 million you cant make a better version than the original which cost a mere $3,000,000; its not rocket science but I guess you need a Romero at the helm.

Not very scary or claustrophobic like the original was, woeful acting, illogical situations. cheddar cheesy dialogue and blood shooting out like a hose made it comical - The Walking Dead has it spot on so why not just copy if you dont have a clue what you are doing. I wont mention the ending which had the entire audience laughing - Oh my what were they thinking? And to add insult to injury the thrash metal "nettle-rash" music as my old dad used to call it at the end credits really did aggravate an already aggravated viewing sesh!

Its not awful - the people who give 1 star are as bad as the shills who give 10/10 to every movie they review and havent a clue what the ratings systems means - 1 star means its the worst movie you have ever seen; watch "THE BAD BATCH" with Keanu Reeves then come back and tell me you would still give this a 1 star.

To be fair Johnathon Schaech did a pretty good attempt at the original Bubba-zombie (he was the best actor in the whole thing) and the effects were not bad. The Dawn Of The Dead remake has been one of the best Zombo remakes but sadly this one is not. How very disappointing I must say! We can only hope Peter Jackson gets his Zombie movie that he has been talking about for over a decade off the ground, until then I guess us die hard zombo fans will have to make do with The Walking Dead!

A fair 3/10 from me!
