Day of the Dead remake....

[lullubelle]

:confused:This might be old news but today I was at Blockbuster video and saw for sale the Day of the Dead remake DVD, did anybody know it was out on dvd, has anyone seen it yet and how is it, I heard rumors that in screenings it did not did well, does anybody has any info before I go buy it, I love zombie movies even the cheesie ones, just want some info before I spend $19.99 plus tax you know what I mean....:D

[Bub666]

Yeah,this is old news.It's been out on dvd for awhile.In my opinion,it's the worse zombie movie ever.

[Andy]

The day of the dead remake is generally hated here, so i would be very suprised if anyone has anything good to say about it, i know i dont lol.

Saying that i saw it for a tenner in tesco an i bought it, purely becuase im a completionist and must own every Z movie i come across. buy it if you must, but dont watch it with high hopes.

I've not seen and, frankly, have just tried to forget that it even existed. If it's one fifth as bad as I have gleaned it may be, I want no part of it.

[acealive1]

good movie as long as it isnt called day of the dead

[SRP76]

I wouldn't pay 20 bucks for any movie. Wait until it hits a bargain bin someplace.

[sandrock74]

They JUST NOW found the Day remake?? wow

[NOTLDC5]

More importantly save the 86 minutes out of your life from watching it.

[lullubelle]

They JUST NOW found the Day remake?? wow

Yeah that goes to show You how much I was looking forward to it:D

If it's as bad as everybody is saying, I would not even buy it on sale:skull:

I haven't seen it yet but, I suggest to wait til its in the bargin bin. 20 bucks for this film ain't worth it from the looks of this film. Actually just look it up on Youtube I think someone uploaded the whole film there.

[AcesandEights]

Well, you can search youtube for clips, if interested. Hell, the whole movie is parsed and posted up there.

[RustyHicks]

The DVD makes a good frisbee,
or a coaster for your cup,
or a mirror if you don't have one or...

I would stay clear of the film.
I watched it once out of curiosity's sake
my eyes have never been the same since

[Bub666]

a coaster for your cup,

:lol:
If I had the dvd,thats what I would use it for.

[lullubelle]

My sincere condolences to your eyes, hopefully GAR will come up with one of his own to make your eyes better.

P.S. Thanks for sparing my eyes.....

[AcesandEights]

hopefully GAR will come up with one of his own to make your eyes better.

the day remake is an abomination in the sight of god and man. i still cannot believe that $18 million was spent to make that turdtacular film.

I agree, i think we're just going to have to start facing the SLIGHT:rolleyes: possibility that a good zombie film is the exception and not the rule. So if you think about it, in the land vs. dawn 04' spats we have what are we really debating? I'm in the dawn 04' camp yet there no denying that both films are lightyears ahead of what normally comes down the pipe. Sh8t pipe that is. :cool:

[lullubelle]

watched it, I am so glad i did not buy it, waste of time, why did they even bother, a sci-fi channel movie of the week it's ten times better ( and boy those are awful ), this movie left me with brain damage:skull:

[Bub666]

I agree,it's not worth buying.I wouldn't own it even if they were giving the movie away for free.

I actually really enjoyed the Day of the Dead remake even though... it bore little resemblence to its namesake I found it thouroughly entertaining. The characters weren't well developed but few horror films are capable of that. And there were a lot of holes in the movie that it felt like they were going to go somewhere but never got there. Like why didn't Sara load her gun? They kept mentioning that and what happened at her old base but never got into it. I felt there was something there. The one and only thing I really hated about this was when one or two zombies crawled upside down on the celing... its so tiresome to see that display and it didn't make sense. I get zombies getting up and eating people but crawling on the celing? You have to draw the line somewhere.

[Thorn]

I have never seen it myself but the snippets I have seen, and all the reviews around the web, and the opinions of those hear make me not want to see it.

I am going to have to say no, no for me.

[MissJacksonCA]

Doesn't the curiosity of not knowing make you want to see it if for no other reason because its a zombie movie? There are so few of them out there...

Not watching the Day of the Dead remake = best decision someone can make when it comes to zombie films

[Mr.G]

I think there are far TOO many zombie flicks on the market. Zeds are the 'in' monster in movies today and it shows. As my wife explains it to me, it's quality over quantity! :D

[MissJacksonCA]

If zombies were 'in' they would have zombie tv shows. I would say vampires are 'in' and wolves too while we're at it. Zombies have made a tremendous comeback but they'll hardly be the most popular evil beings on the block. Breaks my heart to say that but frankly if they were more popular the funding for zombie movies wouldn't be so hard to come by.

Zombie movies are like 80s B-list actors. There's a cult of people following them but they're not wildly popular with all the kids on the block imho.

I do see a future with zombies but the range of the script and characters have to appeal more to women to really win it. And while as a female I love zombie movies and characters as they are I know why my gal pals dont want to watch it. I appreciate that zombie movies seldom objectify women and dont abuse foul language or use nudity but they need something more. When they find that something they'll be a hotter commodity. Imho.

[capncnut]

Dead Set and now Cell. Looks like the zombies might well be 'in' at last.

one word, CONTAGIUM.

As much as i despise the day remake, if you have seen contagium it's an oscar winner, but this is what i always say about this movie. what makes me even more irritated is its all over the shelves at walmart "tainting" the new generations view of what "Day of the Dead" should be. oh well.

if you havnt seen any of these 2 so called day of the dead related movies dont watch em. if you have watched em and need your mind to be cleansed Romero style, play my day of the dead drinking game. its easy. put in day of the dead, and poor a shot. everytime someone drinks you take a shot. if mcdermott drinks take 2 shots. you can change it up as much as you like and it helps to be buzzed first but oh man it gets rid of those remake willies. :thumbsup:

I suppose you could have also made it so that everytime someone curses you take a drink but then you'd be in a coma by the first encounter with Doc Frankenstein!! :lol: :hurl:

oh you would be haha. the cursing just seems to really encourage the drinking though. its a hoot. :lol:

No. It's that exact same curiosity of "what's that banging on the other side of the door?" that gets people eaten in these types of movies. I don't want to die.

[MissJacksonCA]

I would wait til they're actually featured on the telly before saying that. I dont mean to put the kaibosh on anything here but plans for television shows oft go awry. They make a lot of shows that never make it onto the TV. I hope i'm wrong.

[Spider]

I've had this on DVD since last November but haven't watched it yet. I've heard bad things about it but still want to see it one of these days once I muster up the courage to watch it. It was one of those deals at Blockbuster where you buy 4 DVDs for $9.99 or less & get them all for $20.

[EvilNed]

This film is horrible, horrible I tells ya.

You know those kind of zombiefilms that are bad, and are still so bad that they're not good? So that's like doubly bad? Yeah, this isn't even one of those films, because those films were all made in the 70's or 80's and despite being superbad, they still had a tiny fraction of charm because of that.

But this film has as much charm as an MTV commercial. It's just bad, bad, bad, bad. In the little special features box, on the cover of the DVD, it should say: - Infinite amount of shit.

[darth los]

kaibosh


Dude, that's what I mean. No one around here uses words like that but you. lol :lol:

Welcome back mj. I almost missed ya buddy. ;)
