Day of the Dead

Well what do you expect . B rated tv show with low budget , no name actors . Lacks tension and build up .

Lacks direction it meanders around like a zombie .

Too bad the scyfy network didn't think this through and out a decent show together .

Although the genre has been done to death ( honestly it has) . Putting out B grade shows is pointless and in the end will just hurt their bottom line.

The latter won out!

Bad acting, higgledy-piggledy direction and the same old same old with not a lot new to bring to the table is a bit underwhelming.

I will say however that some of the zombie effects and gore are not too shabby for a Scifi Channel production so maybe there is hope?

Such a shame, as a big zombo fan this is rather disappointing!

Maybe it will get better as it goes along but I doubt it so can only give it 4 hatchets on the horror scale at present after the first episode but it is early days, however a pilot should grab the viewer and showcase its best values which this has done weakly -We shall see!

Painful to watch.

It's super slow, the actors are not convincing enough. Their reactions to things happening are not what you'd expect... Almost all men are dicks.

A bunch of young beautiful guys get saved by a some young beautiful women. From some zombies who look like the make up came from a dollar store. All the old people get killed by the zombies, so it just young peole for days. Yada yada yada.

When I started watching the opening scene, I thought to myself, 'this is so badly put together it must have been made in Toronto!' I was wrong though, it was made in Vancouver. Same difference.

Bad acting, bad direction, bad script writing, bad editing. Bad production values. This ones got it all folks. So if this follows the usual pattern it will run for four or five seasons of what at best can be called mediocrity.

Meanwhile, good shows which are engaging and well crafted get cancelled after a season or two.

Outside some of the character names, this bares no resemblance to Romero's classic other than it has zombies.

It does have a lot of cliched, unlikeable characters who act like idiots. It's got bad acting and the lame "zombies breaking out of the cemetery" who somehow were able to break through their sealed caskets and six feet of earth. Some of the cemetery zombies are breaking out of the ground with blood in their mouth. Why? Some have been buried yet have tons of blood gushing out of them.

They're chasing one of the dummies and instead of running from these slow moving zombies, he gets on his lawn mower, which goes as fast as the zombies do. Huh?

That scene explains everything stupid about this awful show. One episode, that was enough for me.

I gave it three rather than one stars because unlike what some of the people here are saying, the zombie make up is good. That's the only positive thing to say about this mess.
