just watched and i must admit i totally liked it. i'll definately buy on DVD. i know i'll get slammed for saying good things about it, but... oh well. the gore factor was great (i liked the spear thing Nick Cannon uses at one point. decaping and half decaping zombies.) i thought the acting (for the most part) was pretty good. the vegetarian Bud part is SOOOO minimal, it's not a distraction or ruin the movie (IMO). also, it's not the teeny bopper zombie cast i thought it was going to be like. for people who like action packed zombie/infection movies w/ good direction and good gore, i urge you to watch/rent/buy this movie. i'm not a plant from the studio either! LOL. i'm totally suprised i really liked this flick.
yeah i'm not plant from the studio:shifty: the vegetarian zombie part was minimal? has this guy been smoking draino or what??

I also liked it. Much better than i was expecting. One thing that bothers my though, why call it Day of the Dead when 80% of the movie takes place throughout the night?
you've got to be kidding me right:lol:

This movie was hella awesome. They actually gave a reason and explanation to why the zombie infection happened. In 28 Days and Weeks Later, there are not zombies, they are infected with Rage, in the Dead series, they are infected with a biological agent that wasn't rage. This movie was great. Good story, better plot, good explanation. I gave this movie a 10 out of 10. Personally I don't read reviews, everyone has their own opinion, and it probably isn't the exact same as yours would be if you were to see the film or show in question. I'd put this up there as one of my all time favorite zombie films with Dawn of The Dead.
this one makes my brain hurt:

Okay, I just know I'm going to get slammed for this post, but that's all right, no hard feelings to anyone who does decide to tear me apart. xD; Everyone has different opinions, but if you do disagree, at least be literate and succinct about it please.
Anyway! On to why I liked it.
I thought it was obviously not an incredible movie but probably would have made some money at the box office if it went to theaters. It definitely does not deserve this imdb rating. There are movies FAR FAR FAR worse than this one. Like, WAY worse. If this is the worst movie you have ever seen, then consider yourself lucky. First, there are probably a few things you need to know about me:
I've never seen the original.
I have seen Land of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead remakes.
I have seen a lot of movies worse than this one. Also better movies. I'm not trying to say this movie was AWESOME, but it doesn't deserve the crap it's getting.
As far as characters go I was impressed. There was a variety of people who you could tell had backgrounds and pasts and interacted well with each other. However the pasts were a little vague, there was no flashbacks or spoon feeding to the audience and not everything got resolved (which is how real life works) but you could tell the writers did it on purpose. I liked how, besides the girl in the woods at the beginning, they all put up a fight. They didn't just sit there and get eaten. Also, there were a few times when I thought a character in the movie was doomed. They were all alone, the music was getting creepy and I rolled my eyes and thought well there goes another one but they actually saved themselves. Which I thought added another dimension because the deaths weren't quite as predictable. That isn't saying much in a zombie movie because I mean really, the math is simple. Cast - half of cast = ending.
The dialog flowed well between the characters and some of it was pretty funny. I didn't see anything wrong with it at least. None of the lines really stuck out as being cheesy or terrible. The plot was okay. Not great. Not god awful though.
All in all I would recommend it to anyone who likes zombies.
NOTE: i took these comments from a very long post. these seemed to be the pertinent points. the bold/italics/underlined characters i have added as well.
and now for the obvious question:
