Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe infected doctor who gets shot in the beginning is the VFX Supervisor, Geoff Mark. The reporter at the end is his wife, Wendy. Originally that role was not cast, or even written into the original script. Geoff wrote her lines when she was reporting on the TV, and filmed that on his Mini-DV camera. The director liked it so much that production shot her death scene as a pick-up weeks after wrap.
- GoofsAside from observing that it's "something to do with the contagium", Emma's strange "pregnancy" is never explained.

Featured review
There are bad movies, worse movies and awful movies. Many of them are quite watchable, assuming that you know what you're getting into and are prepared.
Day of the Dead 2: Contagium isn't one of those.
This film is just plain lousy, as if no one involved in the production really cared about it. The special effects would make Tom Savini cringe in embarrassment. The dialog is dumb, the acting wooden. Many moments of extraneous "drama" are thrown in for no discernible reason. Possibly they wanted to form more of a plot than other zombie movies; if so then it was a failure. Long before you can get into the plot you're distracted by the guns that don't appear to be shooting, the too-obviously fake blood and the actors who can't seem to get into their parts.
Editing and direction? Nonexistent. Cuts between scenes are abrupt, without any kind of lead in whatsoever. Camera angles? Forget it. Anything at all redeemable about this movie? Nope.
Go watch one of the Romero movies. Even if you've seen it a dozen times, it'll be more interesting than this.
