Apatros Review Ep-0069: Day of The Dead [2008]

AR-0069: The first of a number of remakes of the cult classic 1985 George A Romero zombie masterpiece [& one of my favourite films], this 2008 piece of zombie hitsa is a remake in name only as it plays even looser with the thenatics of the original than what the legendary 2004 remake of "Dawn of The Dead" did.

A small town in Colorado is hit by a bioweapon with military connections [does this remind you of anything?], turning its victims into some seriously turbocharged undead flesheaters that can even climb on walls. A small group of survivors try to escape the horror by hiding out in the Nike missile silo near the town [& before you ask, no the Nike company did not build that facility - the Nike name stands for something else - we're talking nuclear ICBMs here, not shoes made for sneaking].

An awful movie that was an utter insult to the name of Romero.

My Grade: D- [Atrocious]
