Maybe it's all the familiar names and faces behind this questionable "remake", but in the realm of terrible zombie movies, somehow this one ends up being both hot garbage and oddly watchable at the same damn time. Despite some so-bad-it's-good horror schlock charms, it's still something to easily never bother watching, and ultimately just meant for the niche cross-section of hardcore fans of zombies and Nick Cannon.

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.

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.

Non-doctor Dude: "Why aren't we infected?" Doctor Dude: "Some people have immunity to the virus, but if you're bitten, it's all over." JUST SHOOT YOURSELF NOW! THERE'S NO STOPPING THE 'BITE FORM' OF THE VIRUS!!! All 18 points are for Ving Rhames eating his own eyeball.

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.

Zombies that shoot guns, drive cars, jump like crickets and can crawl on the ceiling. And if that isn't enough to make you feel embarrassed for watching it, it also has a vegetarian zombie. I'm going to eat a juicy steak tonight just to cancel out that terrible, terrible idea.

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.

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?

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

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.
