Day of the Dead 2008 - Dear God!

[Neil]

Just flicked over and caught a bit of it on TV! Why are zombies clambering around like spiderman on ceilings? Seriously? In who's demented head did that ever make sense in? I quickly turned over before any serious damage occurred!

on another thread about this movie in recent posts we all shared our own traumatic feelings about this movie. the sad this is its not even the bottom of the barrel

I really don't want to see this movie, but I do want to see this wall crawling zombie, it sounds hilarious. Gonna have a look on YouTube...

When I saw about 10 mins of the movie, there were tons of wall zombies, ridiculous...its all over the movie it seems?! I got it on my Sky plus but I don't think I'll ever sit through it....the most annoying thing about it all? They've tied up the rights now so someone MUCH BETTER can't remake it into something DECENT! And even more annoyingly, this film bears NO RESEMBLANCE to the original in any way, shape or form. It's like remaking Jaws without the fuckin' shark but keeping Brody and Quint as lead characters!!!!

*ahem* 127 reasons in 87 minutes why Ghey'08 is utter shite: Part One: http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2008/04...-part-one.html Part Two: http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2008/04...-part-two.html Part Three: http://deadshed.blogspot.com/2008/04...art-three.html 50) "Oh my God, you're fucking kidding me!" ... is what I actually said as a shitty CGI 'zombie' scuttles across the ceiling. SERIOUSLY. Yes ... I actually sat through this pile of AIDs, but to make it 0.000001% bearable, I made a bitch list about it as I did so. I saw "Day of the Dead" listed on ITV4, and I figured it'd be the god-awful 'remake' (so not a remake, it's got even less to do with the original than Yawn04) ... but they have also been showing Land of the Dead recently too.

Yep. I have utterly rejected the "run-around" zombie. I hate them and anything they've appeared in just turns me off and I won't watch it. But the spider zombies take the feckin biscuit. As Simon Pegg said in his moan about 'Dead Set'... "Death is a disability, not a super-power..."

Yes ... I actually sat through this pile of AIDs, but to make it 0.000001% bearable, I made a bitch list about it as I did so. I'm just thankful that I was able to download this steaming pile of cack instead of paying for it. But trust me, once I finished viewing, that thing was wiped from my pc in case it's utter shit-ness infected it somehow. I was even considering a re-install. Imagine the poor bastards who shelled out twelve notes for it. I noticed on the DVD cover there was a directors commentary - how's that one gonna work out? "I'm Steve Miner and I'm the director of this 'film', and before we begin I would like to apologise from the bottom of my heart for putting you all through 87 minutes of pure unadulterated turd."

I really don't want to see this movie, but I do want to see this wall crawling zombie, it sounds hilarious. Gonna have a look on YouTube... Seriously, one scuttled along hanging from the ceiling. It was also sped up so looked beyond daft. Other sequences of zombies running also seemed to be sped up to appear like the keystone cops I noticed on the DVD cover there was a directors commentary - how's that one gonna work out? "I'm Steve Miner and I'm the director of this 'film', and before we begin I would like to apologise from the bottom of my heart for putting you all through 87 minutes of pure unadulterated turd." I'd love to listen to that commentary... I want to hear that thought process and justification...

Well i for one would give Day'08 a 1/10.. and that one would be for (the movie's only redeeming quality)..

[MinionZombie]

Ewww ... Mena Suvari? Andy ... dude ... Capn - perhaps he says something like "I'm the director, Steve Miner ... you know once upon a time I could make a good movie, one such example was Friday 13th Part 2 ... ... I've since started smoking crack."

[Andy]

Ewww ... Mena Suvari? Andy ... dude ... You would kick her out of bed? you in the closet or something?

[MinionZombie]

You would kick her out of bed? you in the closet or something? If she farted yes ... but if she was on strictly good behaviour I'd let her stay I suppose ... for a bit. Now ... Missy Peregrym, she could stay as long as she wanted.

Seriously, one scuttled along hanging from the ceiling. It was also sped up so looked beyond daft. Other sequences of zombies running also seemed to be sped up to appear like the keystone cops That reminds me of a review I wrote when the film came out. I said something similar like "these zombies are sped up so fast that they look like they are in a chase scene on The Benny Hill Show." Capn - perhaps he says something like "I'm the director, Steve Miner ... you know once upon a time I could make a good movie, one such example was Friday 13th Part 2 ... ... I've since started smoking crack." Well i for one would give Day'08 a 1/10.. and that one would be for (the movie's only redeeming quality). I'd give it a 3. A point for each of the following: - Good make up - Mena's ass (those cheeks are so tight you could crack walnuts with 'em) - The sheer balls of even releasing this crap as a remake to Day

[ProfessorChaos]

i've heard so many bad things about this film....i was opposed to it from jump street, and time and tons of negative feedback have sealed the deal: I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS ATROCITY. EVER.

[AcesandEights]

Ewww ... Mena Suvari? Andy ... dude ... Come on, MZ, her face isn't that weird.
