A decent zombie flick, and while its no match for the great zombie flicks around its still entertaining enough and has the goods to keep zombie fans happy. Mena Suvari is surprisingly good as edgy Sarah Cross. The storyline is basic but still effective. A little corny here and there, but not so much to ruin the film. The 'vegetarian' zombie was a bit far-fetched but something new for the genre I suppose. Overall its decent but nothing worth going out of your way to track down.

A loose and poor reimagining of Day of the Dead that manages to tarnish all of the mythos that George Romero created. I almost wept.

a damnation..this movie is unwatchable and a embrassment to say i even rented....this movie is beyond horrible...not one moment in this film is anything worth saying ok i will watch more..this is a slap in the face of Romero fans and horror fans

I rather nail my genitals to a cactus than watch this again!

It's a pity that Ving Rhames' and Mena Suvari's careers have turned into living corpses, but if zombie movies have told us anything (reinforced here by Suvari's character coldly mowing down her own zombiefied mother while still refusing to let anyone dispatch her hapless zombiefied love interest whom she's known for 20 minutes) it's that the person you once knew just isn't there anymore. No sympathy for the dead.

The worst film ever. Period.

a poor remake but one of those guilty pleasure films I enjoy just because it has zombies in it

Fine as far as zombie action movies go, but the big let down was the half-hearted attempt at preserving the idea of the Bud character and the message of the original. It seemed like they were going to see that idea through, albeit altered slightly, but then they abandon it completely just to have an unnecessary action sequence ending. Mena Suvari did about as good a job as she ever does , but Ving Rhames is only a bit part character and Nick Cannon does leave you wondering why he's not better.

I thought there could have been better casting I mean Nick Cannon in a zombie movie what was Steve Miner thinking Mena Suvari in the US Army not to believeable and her gun wasn't loaded WHAT??. besides that just terrible of a movie. almost should have been a syfy movie.

A pretty shitty movie, but it's got zombies in it, and in one version, Nick Cannon dies, so that's cool.

Totally forgettable waste of time and an insult to the original, not even worth watching on its own merits. The dull stupid characters fail to make you care about their predicament, and the inclusion of the friendly zombie is done half-arsed and is amazingly convoluted. "He's a nice zombie and wont eat you because hes a vegetarian" Well of course! Hey movie, I think I saw some hippie zombies over there, but they'll be ok too because ya know, peace and love an all that. Fuck you movie.

I saw this a couple weeks ago and I don't remember it at all. that's not a good thing. I thought I liked it but maybe not. Nick Cannon did rule though, I remember that.

If they were going to redo this movie, they should have given the directorial keys to Zach Snyder (or someone that cared as much as him), since he was able to redo Dawn of the Dead and make it worthwhile. This film is forgettable tripe that's purely cashing in on the franchise name. Not that Romero's Day of the Dead was particularly good, but at least it was memorable.

"It's such a fun zombie movie, I'm amazed it didn't get a full theatrical release."

Bad... but still better than Romero's "Diary of..."

Why is this so watchable?

not so much a remake as a completely new movie, and anyone who reviews it should do so on it's own merit, rather than comparing it to others. a fairly average zombie movie, accept in a few areas that it excels and you're going to have to watch to find out, hint: you've never seen a zombie there before.

Um, wow. I really don't know where to go with this. If this were a stand-alone zombie flick, it had some merit being alright. But to even remotely call this a remake of Romero's Day of the Dead you've gotta be on some serious mind-altering substances. Previous remakes at least loosely followed originals, in that Romero's Dead series showed the progression of the zombies through the years. This one has the whole debacle occur during the movie and now the zombies are friggin fast and limber. WTBF?

one of the better zombie films i've seen recently. Had some nice ideas

Nowhere near the cinematic masterpiece of George Romero version, just bloodier and less coherent.Ving Rhames and Mena Suvari looked embarressed to be involved in it.

I didn't last to the end, I didn't last half way through it. Starts off like a shit version of Stephen King's "The Stand". Not really a remake, just stand-alone shite.

meh. One of the worst zombie films with a big budget I've ever seen. Was there any point in remaking this movie...and then having an entirely different...or completely lack of plot?

Dull and mediocre zombie flick. Day didn't need to be remade, and this film proves it.

Oh horror, zombies running on the ceiling.

Not one redeemable moment.

Only shares a title with the boring overrated original, but it isn't as bad as most bad zombie movies. At least some of the characters demonstrate they have a brain stem. Nick Cannon lives entirely too long.

One of the worst remakes ever. It basically just stole the title from the original and decided to do everything else different. Awful, all around.

Hopeless. If you're going to remake a movie, remake it -- don't just steal a couple names, the title and a general idea (see Plot Summary). Nick Cannon does the best Will-Smith-in-Bad-Boys-2 impersonation his talents let him and Mena Suvari... well, when Mena Suvari is your last hope in a Zombie Apocalypse you know you're hooped. Lots of zombie mayhem and gore, though, so I was satisfied on that front.
