Day of the Dead: Bloodline

Just all around a dreadful occurrence in film history.

The main protagonist checks all the boxes on the "dumb things to do in an apocalypse" checklist. Add to that the massive plot holes and bad acting and you get a recipe for failure.

While the main character is the absolute repository for bad ideas you'd be amazed at how stupid the other characters can be, it's as though they all want to die. For example in one scene zombies flood into the area, this is followed by one of the characters running TOWARD AND PAST the horde of zombies, followed immediately by the protagonist. Naturally these flesh hungry zombies let both individuals pass without harm after all we're watching a terrible movie.

All of this hullabaloo because she needs a zombie alive. Following this massive plot hole what does she do? She kills the one she wanted alive.

This movie is garbage don't bother watching it, I'd watch a 100 hour marathon of The Wiggles before I watched this again.

From what I understood, Day of the Dead Bloodline is supposed to be a remake of Day of the Dead (1985).

Now I must state for the record that I am not a fan of remakes as they usually fall flat, and I can't understand the need for them in the first place, and it shows a lack of originality as well.

With that statement out of the way, Day of the Dead Bloodline was in fact far inferior to the original Day of the Dead, though to be fair it bares very little in common to the original.

The acting was amateurish and the script was poorly written. The effects were actually pretty good, with the only exception being blood constantly expelled with explosive force from people being attacked, which is fine if you are watching a comedy but not so much in a supposed horror movie.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend this movie, though if you have nothing else to do and want to watch it, go ahead, just don't expect something memorable.

Why is it with a budget of 8 million you cant make a better version than the original which cost a mere $3,000,000; its not rocket science but I guess you need a Romero at the helm.

Not very scary or claustrophobic like the original was, woeful acting, illogical situations. cheddar cheesy dialogue and blood shooting out like a hose made it comical - The Walking Dead has it spot on so why not just copy if you dont have a clue what you are doing. I wont mention the ending which had the entire audience laughing - Oh my what were they thinking? And to add insult to injury the thrash metal "nettle-rash" music as my old dad used to call it at the end credits really did aggravate an already aggravated viewing sesh!

Its not awful - the people who give 1 star are as bad as the shills who give 10/10 to every movie they review and havent a clue what the ratings systems means - 1 star means its the worst movie you have ever seen; watch "THE BAD BATCH" with Keanu Reeves then come back and tell me you would still give this a 1 star.

To be fair Johnathon Schaech did a pretty good attempt at the original Bubba-zombie (he was the best actor in the whole thing) and the effects were not bad. The Dawn Of The Dead remake has been one of the best Zombo remakes but sadly this one is not. How very disappointing I must say! We can only hope Peter Jackson gets his Zombie movie that he has been talking about for over a decade off the ground, until then I guess us die hard zombo fans will have to make do with The Walking Dead!

A fair 3/10 from me!

Why are people intent on wasting money making poor movies. After 2 minutes you can clearly tell that this is going to be an awful movie.

Since when do people explode blood when bitten. What was the zombie wiping the wind screen with blood inside the car all about?

Poor script with even worse acting.

I gave this movie a chance on Netflix after discovering it on DVD at Wal-Mart. I listened to my wife and streamed it. I am a lifelong zombie horror fan. I own any and every imaginable zombie movie you can think of that is worth owning and have given a chance to quite a few that I have not bought.

I am praising the gods today for my wife being with me at Wal-Mart that day and telling me to hold off on buying this. If there is a rating less than B-rated, this movie is not on that scale. It is without words the biggest crock of garbage I ever watched.

First of all, let's talk about the acting. How dare you put the holy name of "Day of thr Dead" on this and sully the name of George A. Romero! This is a travesty and an insult to his legacy. The acting is terrible, even by zombie film standards.

Now, do not get me wrong, but on paper the story was interesting, but come on man! "Miguel" was a trainwreck from his first appearance. These jackoffs basically attempted to combine the cowardly Miguel Salazar with the jerk Captain Rhodes. It didn't work. Oh, and we gave him a brother! Hot damn, a zombie apocalypse is fun for the whole damn family!

I am fairly certain that the studio responsible is shitting themselves now as they realize they wasted $8 million on a budget for this shit heep. For $8 million, I could write, direct and produce a zombie movie that would make the almighty George smile and approve. And I can find better actors AND hire a special effects team that knows how the human anatomy works!

Recommendation(s): DO NOT WATCH IF YOU'RE A TRUE ZOMBIE HORROR FAN!
