All Souls Day: Dia de los Muertos (2005)
Far from a Romero but very entertaining.
I just caught this flick on the sci-fi channel and I have to admit that I really enjoyed it. It is basically your standard "Group of horny college gets get ambushed by unspeakable and seemingly unstoppable evil" type of scenario that haunts most direct-to-video horror films but this one had a certain charm to it. The acting was rather passable for a cast of b-listers and unknowns, the directing was good and the big climax of the film, while somewhat lame somehow managed to have an air of originality to it. True, the acting was pretty cheesy in a couple parts, the story had it's weak points, and the soundtrack flat out sucked(sloppy cut-ins and poorly timed crescendos are inexcusable in my opinion)This is definitely a movie I would recommend on a weekend trip to the video store. It is nice to see that it's still possible to put out a creative zombie movie without using viruses, and running zombies.
