Review – Day of the Dead (2007)

Though the box made this sound like a remake of Romero’s movie by the same name (presumably along the same lines as the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead), this production had little in common with the older, better movie. What we get this time around is a standard survivors-running-from-a-plague-of-zombies flick. The show includes some entertaining innovations, such as an infection that starts with flu-like symptoms, then causes brief catatonia, then instantly transforms the victim into a flesh-eating corpse. And them zombies is fast, too, even the legless Ving Rhames zombie. Aside from an occasional good scare, however, this is substance-free stuff. Mildly amusing
