Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Incompetent in every respect. Rated: D- Jul 2, 2010 Full Review Jordan Snowden Pittsburgh City Paper The plot is all over the place. The special effects are pulsing, nausea-inducing, amateurish, and laughable, and they tried too hard to make the zombies different from those who came before. Oct 16, 2019 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews A chaotic mess of violence and gore... Rated: 1/4 Mar 7, 2009 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central The only possible response to the benighted thing is pity. Rated: 0/4 Jan 13, 2009 Full Review Lucius Gore ESplatter It's such a fun zombie movie, I'm amazed it didn't get a full theatrical release. Rated: 3/4 Jun 17, 2008 Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com It's a pageant of stupidity that hopes gushing wounds and deliberate fanboy-catnip slices of ultraviolent cheese will mask the reality that it's a worthless offering in an increasingly abused genre.

Tim M A remake in name only, Day of the Dead takes an already threadbare zombie storyline and zaps it of any life or originality. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Fleegle B A really enjoyable Zombie movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Tony M This is an ok remake of a zombie classic. I preferred the Night & Dawn remakes but this is still worth a watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Pete P Bionic zombies that crawl on ceilings are just what's needed in the genre. I watched it and it passed the time but inferior to the original on every level. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It's called DAY OF THE DEAD but happens at night. Are you serious?! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review victor o Lately, I have been watching remakes of various horror movies, but I have jumped in without knowing the story. All I know is from what I see, and I see an attractive cast, special effects, and because this is a zombie movie – gore, guts, and guns. And that is all that matters. The people of a small mountain town receive a rude awakening when the military arrives and gets them quarantined as an outbreak threatens the many thousands in the town. Mena Suvari plays Corporal Sarah Bowman, an Army enlistee who just happens to be assigned to her hometown doing all she can to protect her family, one of them being her brother Trevor and his attractive girlfriend Nina. Assisted by several others in her unit, a PFC named Salazar and a recruit named Bud realize something is far worse than they could have imagined as the sick end up becoming monsters that end up terrorizing the town with Sarah doing all she can to save her family and her friends. I am not one of those zombie movies fans, at least not a hardcore fan but I am getting there. Though from what I have heard from others, they say I should not have watched this, I like it. I was taken by the attractive cast and by that, I mean gorgeous ladies, Mena Suvari, Annalynne McCord, and Christa Campbell. Mena Suvari just proves that she can act, and it is disappointing that she does not have a better career as she delivers as a strong female lead. Annalynne McCord can do better than the pretty girlfriend as she is capable of defending herself. The fellas are also impressive with Nick Cannon as a grade-A zombie killer. But not everyone in the film is utilized to their best with plenty of forgettable characters. The gore is a little cheesy, CGI takes away the enjoyment in modern horror movies, and this was no exception. But I will happily watch this again for the action and the stellar leads.
