This thing hasnt been released yet? by Knobules	Mar 25th, 2008 08:54:48 AM
Geez werent we all bashing this mess like 6 months ago?
Sad! by FILMFUNK	Mar 25th, 2008 08:57:12 AM
Hear it's ludicrously SHITE! and that poster continues the grimy Sepia look of shit like Hills have Eyes Again and Texas Chainsaw Revisited which were both unnecisary shit!
we need to quit talking about this movie by zom-bot.com	Mar 25th, 2008 09:00:17 AM

Straight to DVD by PlasmaOrb	Mar 25th, 2008 09:07:07 AM
Just saw the jacket cover on Digital Bits, its coming to DVD in a few weeks I think. I will rent it to see it and make my own judgement of it. Some people are really picky about remakes, especially of Romero, which to me is a overated hack. His movies werent scarey at all, they were almost pitiful looking, plus his movies never have any consistency to them, even thought they are all supposed to be this one big zombie universe.. one minute they are slow and blue and the next they are fast and then they are slow. Sorry, just think George is a bit over hyped.

Speaking of needless remakes by skimn	Mar 25th, 2008 09:10:57 AM
has anyone seen the remake of Brian DePalma's Sisters? It hit direct to DVD a couple of weeks ago, and at least has an interesting cast ( Stephen Rea, Chloe Sevigny ). I saw the original in the theater on its first run, fucked me up good, and made me a Brian DePalma fan for life. GREAT Herrmann score.
WTF happened to Steve Miner?????? by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 25th, 2008 09:12:32 AM
He brought Micheal Back with H20, and made the fine Lake Placid. WHA THE FUCK??????
This isn't out yet? by Series7	Mar 25th, 2008 09:21:07 AM
I remember seeing the trailer for this like a year ago at least. Also I feel like PlasmaOrb you are mixing up your zombie movies. Romeo didn't direct every zombie movie ever. Just Night/Dawn/Day/Land. And in all those the zombies are slow, just in Land they kind of communicate with each other. Granted I am not the biggest fan of his either, i just feel like you are attaching his name to everything, he didn't direct the re-makes. Plus you have to understand that when Night came out, you probably weren't even swimming around in your fathers nut sac yet.

This is supposed to be fucking atrocious. by The Gospel According to Bastardface	Mar 25th, 2008 09:42:57 AM

"an introduction would totally blow your mind" by they call it the dip	Mar 25th, 2008 09:43:29 AM
The show is All That and yes we do it all the.. time." I will only ever view Nick Cannon as the final nail in the coffin for that series. This looks too boring to even be enjoyably bad.. sort of like AVP: Requiem. Actually.. exactly like AVP: Requiem. I'm surprised this isn't going to theaters when that did. That didn't even have any recognizable actors.
Comedy gold by FitnaTheForbiddenMovie	Mar 25th, 2008 09:46:04 AM
I downloaded this movie off of a torrent site not so long ago. Me and my wife laughed throughout, it was pure comedy gold. It was so bad, it was fun to watch. It should have been called Return of the Living Dead 4, though. As it is, the title pisses all over Romero's classic and that, people, is no laughing matter.
Yeah, what Mr. Mcpoops said by Neosamurai85	Mar 25th, 2008 09:49:13 AM
I'll probably know who Nick Cannon is when I've had a cup of coffee and then have an opinion of the person as well, but that character makes Jar-Jar look like Hannibal King from Blade Trinity. I am so fucking tired of dumbass OLD ASS white people jokes. And why is this film that has nothing to do with the original bare its name AND look like every bit of Zombie Action goes down AT NIGHT???!?!?!?!!!!??!!? Holy single white females throwing spiked heels into my eyes while emaciated chinchillas slowly devour my from the toes up BATMAN!!! How do you fuck that up? I've heard of day for night shooting, but NIGHT FOR DAY??? Is this some new shit I get to put up with from the digital generation? And Steve Miner... why man... WHY????????

Oopse! by Neosamurai85	Mar 25th, 2008 09:56:10 AM
Sorry for the double post. While I'm here, I'll just say that Ving would have rocked as Capt. Rhodes underground. But... actually its not even worth bitching anymore about this film. Fuck it. Don't see it. Let it bomb so hard that time and space distort and the producers and screenwriter get a mysterious bitch slap in the past when and each time they came up with something to fuck this remake over with. I'm out. Peace.
they better pray... by they call it the dip	Mar 25th, 2008 09:57:22 AM
... that they can salvage some coin at blockbuster. i've worked at one and i'll tell you exactly what happened and what will happen. this piece of shit was expensive enough to go to theaters but didn't because it was that much of a studio embarassment. that's something in a market where 1 missed call gets a wide release. anyway, they'll wait for some week where nothing else is coming out on video and then they'll put half a wall's worth of copies up so stupid people will think "if there's that many copies, it must be good." then, more and more stupid people rent it. then they're out of the rentals, more stupid people say "wow, they're out. it must be a really good movie. let's go home and masturbate and call every hour until there are more copies." and that's it. lambs-to-the-slaughter marketing.
Saw it already. by cifra	Mar 25th, 2008 10:01:14 AM
Heartbreakingly, coming from Steve Miner, who made the vindicables "House", "Lake Placid" and "H20", this is utter crap. More than likely to end as the worst movie I've seen this year. Seriously.
they call it the dip is right by Mr. Mcpoops	Mar 25th, 2008 10:01:34 AM
I worked at Hastings back in the day and the same shit happened there.
I have seen this and.... by Jubba	Mar 25th, 2008 10:05:11 AM
the zombies not only run but they also can jump really far and they can crawl on walls and ceilings...the story is non-existent and the acting is pretty bad. there are some good effects and some terrrrrible effects. if you can watch it with the intention to laugh at how ridiculous it is, you might be able to have a good time. don't expect anything of any quality though. Ving does NOT save the movie except for when he starts barking...that's pretty funny.
cifra by Neosamurai85	Mar 25th, 2008 10:07:26 AM
And Friday the 13th part 2 & 3D! It's just sad. Oh right, I'm not here.
ving by imascooby1985	Mar 25th, 2008 10:12:59 AM
does he still not realize that after all the shit films he has made that he still gets a lot of respect from us? Imagine if he actually decided to cool things down and actually take some time to pick and choose his roles wisely. The guy could be the next Samuel L. Jackson in terms of badassery. Well maybe not... but close.
ving is cool yeah by Jubba	Mar 25th, 2008 10:21:12 AM
he was fun in dawn of the dead remake...but in day of the dead he looked like he didn't want to be making the movie.
ving rhames by livahd	Mar 25th, 2008 10:27:30 AM
has roughly 4 mins of screen time. i read a review of this a year ago. unless they had george romero himself come back, reshoot the whole thing with action figures, adr the whole thing with farts and a synthesizer, and make the poster from fingerpaints, i refuse to see it. well, at least pay for it.

You can't polish a turd by Allahzilla Bobaganush	Mar 25th, 2008 10:43:40 AM
This poster is actually pretty decent. If I didn't know that this movie was already a cauldron of bubbling shit I might be half way interested to see it. I will say that the poster is a lot better then the "vomiting zombie" that will adorn the DVD. Yeah....vomiting zombie.
This isn't out yet? by Ron Mexico	Mar 25th, 2008 10:43:40 AM
I'm in Iraq right now and I was able to pick up a copy at a local Hajii shop. All I can say is, wow. I'm a huge Romero fan loved Dawn more than Day. I enjoyed Snyder's version of Dawn. Well here they took what he accomplished with Dawn and flushed it... I recall one zombie climbing on the ceiling like our favorite webhead... humans die slowly from the virus but once they're dead, they turn into decayed zombies faster than 28 Days... just awful... don't even watch this shit.

OH FINALLY! A ROMERO ZOMBIE REMAKE! by alice 13	Mar 25th, 2008 10:51:58 AM
i was getting tired of all these new zombie movies with all these new zombie ideas. i dont see much social commentary in that.
Save your money by tk 421	Mar 25th, 2008 10:53:49 AM
And don't see this pile of garbage. If you want a good to great zombie movie, see Diary of the Dead. It's an actual Romero film filled with zombie goodness.
actually by rants-raves-and-reviews.blogspot .com	Mar 25th, 2008 11:04:09 AM
it was pretty enjoyable in a cheesy action way. Sure the undercranking was annoying but besides that the zombies were vicious as hell and there were some cool gore moments. Yeah Nick Cannon gets it pretty good at the end. Full review on the site: http://tinyurl.com/pv8do

wow! what an awesome cast!!!!11! by Datascream	Mar 25th, 2008 11:28:32 AM
seriously though, Mena Suvari AND Nick Cannon as the headlining cast? I've REALLY gotta see who the "Supporting" cast is.
you can hate the remake, but lets not pretend DAY is anyone's fa by WickedJacob	Mar 25th, 2008 11:53:44 AM
Actually, DAY is begging for a good remake. Its got some of the most innovative ideas but unfortunately fails in its execution. Even Romero has said he didn't have the resources to do it like he really wanted. In a lot of ways, CITY was a remake and extension of a lot of DAY's ideas, but I think of all of Romero's movies, DAY is the one that has always needed a good remake -- though I'd love to see Romero remake it himself.

Romero by kolchak	Mar 25th, 2008 11:56:26 AM
couldn't get the funding needed for his original script, which actually involved a large part above ground. But with the limited funds he had to cut it. The studios STILL don't give Romero the respect he deserves.
day of the dead imagery by zom-bot.com	Mar 25th, 2008 12:07:31 PM
you have to give absolute respect to those opening scenes of the deserted trashed streets, with money and newspapers blowing around, and the zombies coming out of 'slumber' and then rising to the moaning, shuffling mob. for that scene alone, we need a big budget, quality remake.
Just watched the trailer... by Karl Hungus	Mar 25th, 2008 12:15:28 PM
...holy moly! That looks like possibly the worst thing ever. No, I mean, seriously! And how is it even remotely a remake of the original?
So is this a sequel to the Dawn remake by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Mar 25th, 2008 12:17:33 PM
since Ving was in it. Is he gonna get medieval on the undead?
No Need to Remake Original "Day" by tk 421	Mar 25th, 2008 12:19:16 PM
I agree that Day isn't my favorite Romero film, but I can't say that I've ever watched it and felt that it screamed for a remake. I feel that the film stands on its own quite well and I don't need to see it remade with a bigger budget. I'd rather see new films rather than constant remakes. World War Z would be nice.
THIS FUCKING MOVIE SUCKS! by Mysterious Yobo	Mar 25th, 2008 12:40:18 PM

...it needed to be airbrushed from history. and sandblasted from my consciousness, forever. although i'd love to watch a john amplas film festival, with his one great role (_martin_!) and every one of his abysmal subsequent performances (e.g. dr. numbnutz in _day_: "out of the frying pan, into the fire!" tell me about it, dr. numbnutz!!) sign me up for the "poor ving rhames" choir, also. i wish they'd re-make _patty hearst_ -- he could play william randolph hearst this time. and i'm pretty sure the "_day_ remake" fanboy nation here is referencing is the oh-so-long-wished-for sequel, _day of the dead 2: contagium_, that also (what were the chances?) went straight to dvd. disgusting topics. i'm so ashamed, as steve, ving and all you all should be. i'm going to curl up in a ball and cry now, until hillary becomes president. then, i'll cry some more...
I have this movie...SPOILERS by Brians Life	Mar 25th, 2008 01:14:41 PM
...downloaded it MONTHS ago. Guess what the directors technique for making the zombies scary is...FAST MOTION!!! He speeds up the movement while telling the actors to flail around crazily. And NO...it's NOT a sequel to the Dawn remake!!! It has NOTHING to do with any other zombie movie and these people are more 28 days later zombies than Romero zombies. They aren't decayed, the decease does that to their flesh. ALL HONESTY...this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Why oh why?
PLASMAORB by MatDGZ	Mar 25th, 2008 01:26:58 PM
What exactly are you talking about? 'Consistency'? In all of Romero's movies the zombie were slow moving. In 28 Days & Weeks Later and the DOTD remake, the zombies were fast moving. And G.A.R did way better than you ever could with a miniscule budget and limited resources. By todays standards, of course the films have dated and do not have the impact they once did - but if you were around when these fims were made, maybe you'd think differently. I know you're entitled to your opinion, and if you don't dig the films, fair enough. But calling a legendary filmmaker like Romero a hack is just bullshit. What has been your contribution to cinema? Oh yeah - this Day remake looks crap. Peace.
yeah romero as hack is hilarious by zom-bot.com	Mar 25th, 2008 01:32:55 PM
dude invented the genre everyone has built upon. he's such a hack. he invented an entire concept. if you look at an old model t now, sure, it's a rickety piece of shit, but it's the basis of every car you've driven.
mmm zombies by soup74	Mar 25th, 2008 01:57:00 PM
i went through a zombie phase, where i loved zombie culture, zombie movies, and zombie video games(dead rising was awesome).. then land of the dead; diary of the dead; and the day of the dead remake effectively made me dislike the zombie genre..thanks guys!

Never Said He Did The Remakes by PlasmaOrb	Mar 25th, 2008 02:31:02 PM
Just said that his original movies were crap... i enjoyed the remakes of his movies more so than the originals. I would be more scared of a chinese guy with one arm chasing after me than a zombie that walks around like anna nicole after her lawyer boyfriend drugged her up for the night
Seen it and it is BAD by elBox	Mar 25th, 2008 02:40:26 PM
I'm a huge fan of zombie movies so I found this movie on the interweb and watched it a few weeks ago. Let me just say that this movie is terrible. The acting is so bad that it's funny. Nick Cannon becomes a bow wielding super zombie killer half way throught the film and Mina Suvari does the worst job acting like a soldier since... well, probably the first Day of the Dead came out. However, this movie has very interesting zombies in it. They are fast. They set up traps. They ambush people. They kick ass but they're wasted in this movie. If you're a die hard zombie fan and can put up with terrible acting a piss poor plot then this is probably worth renting but otherwise, stay away from it.
too bad. A true DotD remake could have been good by I Dunno	Mar 25th, 2008 02:44:37 PM
The original was just too silly. Yes, even for a zombie movie. The soldiers were bumbling idiots and the scientists experimenting on the zombies acted just like that alien doctor Phlox from the Enterprise show. I would have liked to have seen a really scary ass scientist with a real zombie chamber of horrors. The gore was pretty good though.
I know I'm old by tk 421	Mar 25th, 2008 02:47:28 PM
But zombies should not be running, jumping, scaling walls, setting up traps, or ambushing people. They rise from the dead and shuffle along in a mass of living dead for the sole purpose feasting on the flesh of the living.
Soldiers in the Original DotD by tk 421	Mar 25th, 2008 02:48:45 PM

Nice little rip off of the Saw Cover by redfist	Mar 25th, 2008 03:13:47 PM
How many shit horror movies have we all seen piling up at blockbusters taht have almost the same cover art. I wouldnt piss on this if it was on fire.
Same cover art? by I Dunno	Mar 25th, 2008 03:50:47 PM
If Lucas and Spielberg (who say whatever you want about them, know 'visual shit') are incapable of making a cover that looked any different from any other one all the way back from Last Crusade through the Prequels to the new Indy, how can we expect some poor struggling hacks who've had one Photoshop class to have any more originality?
...not to mention the cover art of the SW SEs by I Dunno	Mar 25th, 2008 03:55:33 PM
...which shit all over the awesome original "Gone With the Wind" style cover from Empire Strikes Back in favor of the stunning...."heads looking into or slightly off-camera" motif.
Plasmaorb by kolchak	Mar 25th, 2008 03:55:46 PM
The scariness of zombies stems from two truths: 1) Their numbers. They're everywhere. 2) They're you're family, friends and nieghbors. Running zombies are not zombies. They're just fucking stupid.
Wait, how is this a remake? by kungfuhustler84	Mar 25th, 2008 04:05:28 PM
Except for the title, and the presence of one slighlty less stupid zombie, this looks like a completely new concept. This looks pretty terrible. Nick Cannon does not belong in any form of media, especially not something with the potential to be at least a little cool.
Why this is a REMAKE.... by Brians Life	Mar 25th, 2008 04:12:11 PM
...apparently the screenwriter didn't intend to remake DAY of the DEAD, but the studio slapped the name on it and changed a few elements (the "Bub" dude who's now named "bud", the underground complex) to make it into a remake...any way you slice it this things a fuckin' leeeeeemon.
Vegetarian Zombie and more of why this flick sucks. by Brians Life	Mar 25th, 2008 04:14:40 PM
...oh yeah, another reason this movie sucks. There is a zombie (a military dude named BUD) that gets bit, but doesn't want to eat people because he was a vegetarian in his former life. He spends the rest of the movie looking like a sad confused zombie until the other one's rip his head off. I'm sorry I can't stop...this movie was BEYOND fucking awful. I mean, there are truly original and compelling ideas out there and THIS get's made?!?! JEBUS!
Kolchak...may I add to your list... by Brians Life	Mar 25th, 2008 04:16:52 PM
...for me the thing that made zombies truly scary was that they represent your own mortality. They are quite literally death shuffling its way towards you. Romero was brilliant! READ WORLD WAR Z!!!!
Can't pimp this book enough...WORLD WAR Z! by Brians Life	Mar 25th, 2008 04:17:15 PM

Brians by kolchak	Mar 25th, 2008 04:20:04 PM
I concur. Humans have always been fascinated with death. And I think part of our infatuation with them (as well as vampyres and such) is because a part of everyone wants to escape death. And that's what zombies do.
huh? what? why? by DigitalBeachWar	Mar 25th, 2008 04:49:21 PM

there is something totally wrong with this one sheet by Windowlicker74	Mar 25th, 2008 05:49:07 PM
The line of blood dropping from his tooth suggests that the zombie is totally motionless for at least seconds or even minutes but other drops are exploding all around him in a wild frenzy... ?? just weird to look at.
save yourselves while you can by robertrageson	Mar 25th, 2008 06:51:23 PM
i have seen this movie. i can hear your sighs of remorse already. dont go see it, dont rent it, if a friend talks about seeing it punch them in the face and then run away. i hate to say it like this, but nic cannon was purely a negro. the way he talked walked acted was like any hiphip rapper would do in a music video. mena suvari...i dont know how they picked her to lead this movie, but she needs to keep her hat on to hide that huge forehead of hers. "bud" the vegan zombie...words cant describe. ving plays no relation to his previous character in the series and the only thing he adds to the movie is him eating his own eyeball. save yourselves from this one at all costs. you're better off watching In the name of the king:a dungeon seige tale

Fuck all remakes by 23GreatWoundsAllGotInBattle	Mar 25th, 2008 10:22:30 PM
with a dildo made of rebar. World War Z was interesting (especially the soldier story) and is being made as we speak (I think by Brad Pitt's production company). Zombie's don't run. I like Romero, but Diary Of The Dead was not great.

World War Z the book by Jubba	Mar 25th, 2008 10:46:25 PM
yes this is truly worth reading if you enjoy GOOD zombie stories of any kind. World War Z is great...now i'm reading the zombie survival guide by max brooks...same guy who wrote WWZ...not as good but fun nonetheless
Diary of the Dead IS great by tk 421	Mar 25th, 2008 10:51:39 PM
Sorry, I can't agree with any hate for the film. It had classic Romero zombies, great gore, cool zombie/human kills, the awesome Amish guy with dynamite and a scyth, the militant black dudes, the professor with the bow & arrow and TITS. All around, the movie was fucking great.
Because when you think of the horror genre, you think of Nick Ca by JoeSixPack	Mar 25th, 2008 11:32:33 PM

Diary wasn't half as bad as people say by kolchak	Mar 25th, 2008 11:38:15 PM
It was a great entry in the franchise. Only Romero could put a fresh spin on a tired genre like that. Fuck CLoverfield. Diary is going on my shelf the day it's released.

thanks for reminding me, i loved the zombie survival guide, and i know the guy who wrote world war Z did that too, so ive been meaning to pick it up. i think ill give it a chance this weekend.
also about diary.. by soup74	Mar 25th, 2008 11:48:10 PM
okay, i would love to believe that the 'message' of this film got blatantly pounded into the viewers head, because the whole concept was that it was a student film, and thats how a real student film would be, but i just dont know if i can give george that much credit lately.
So it was a bit preachy by kolchak	Mar 25th, 2008 11:54:21 PM
It's only because Romero understands modern audiences are stupid fucks who need things to be laid out clearly for them. It doesn't undermine the rest of the film, which was done well.
george's messages by soup74	Mar 25th, 2008 11:58:48 PM
i think he meant to have a message in night. then just figured a mall would be a cool setting for dawn. when everyone said it was all about consumerism, it went to his head. then he tried too hard to force social commentary in day, land, and diary.

thanx to torrents i've already seen this ok movie. first of all it's nothing like the original which is great cuz nothing can compare to it. this movie should have been given a different name. i didn't even recognize rhames. he plays rhodes who you'll remember gets torn apart by zombies in the original. rhodes was an ass in the original. in this one he's hardly even a character. just some military guy who is just doing his job and he isn't an ass. bub is in this movie is just some soldier guy in love with mena suvari. he gets bitten and then turns into a zombie, only he won't eat flesh cuz he was a vegeterian in life. stupid stupid stupid. there's nothing in this movie that even makes you remember something from the original. just watch it as if it was a completely different zombie movie with a different title. alot of the movie takes place in a hospital, part of a radio station and then some underground lab.
If anything by kolchak	Mar 26th, 2008 12:02:04 AM
Night was the film that didn't originally have a message. Everyone involved just wanted to make a scary movie. Then people noticed the commentary and he thought a play on consumerism would work. LAND was really the only film with hardcore commentary written into the script. It basically screamed "Hey! Look! We're actually talking about Iraq!"
Diary Of The Dead... by 23GreatWoundsAllGotInBattle	Mar 26th, 2008 12:28:21 AM
I liked the elements mentioned. The deaf Amish guy was hilarious, the opening scene with the news footage was gold, but it just didn't hold up. The cliched drunk British professor was laughable, and whereas in Cloverfield I never once questioned the believability of the guy doing the camera work, every ten minutes or so of Diary I was like "why is this guy still filming this?" It was alright, but it was not great.

Why DO white people always want to split up? by Magma Suit	Mar 26th, 2008 01:25:09 AM
And I for one don't call a sharp object in the hands of an African-American a "spear". That's racist!

Zombie's Be STEALTHY in this shit... by Brians Life	Mar 26th, 2008 02:36:54 AM
...there's one scene where all the surviving members are walking, including the douche bag doctor you just KNOW is gonna die soon. While walking down a hallway the doctor, who's in back, is grabed by the head and pulled into a ventilation shaft whisper quiet so no one notices. 10 second later his evicerated body flies from off camera with a thud....SPEND NO MONEY ON THIS MOVIE!!!!!
WORLD WAR Z by Brians Life	Mar 26th, 2008 02:39:03 AM
The only book I've read straight through. That's not a sarcastic knock either. It was so damn compelling. Took me like 20 hours. I was terrified, but I couldn't stop. That Max Brooks is a genius, must be in the blood. Fans of the book, I'd say check out the audio version too. It's abridged, but still lengthy and read by a GREAT cast (Alan Alda, Mark Hamill, Henry Rollings, Carl Reiner, etc)...DO IT!

Day of the Dogshit Dead by Sir Nigel Lengthington-Smythe	Mar 26th, 2008 07:53:47 AM
No, no, no no no no no!!!!!! Why the FUCK are you giving this crap the fucking oxygen of publicity? I have seen many bad films in my life, and watch them for comedy value mostly, but this is a fucking insult, and rates, bar none, as THE WORST FUCKING FILM EVER! I'm not even going to bother ranting on about it, except to say that i saw it about 2 months ago, and was absolutely disgusted at how shite it was. You're fuckin' warned!!
Dumb Zombie Fun by skimn	Mar 26th, 2008 09:19:03 AM
If you want to feed your "drive-in-Joe Bob Briggs" jones with a fun little Z-movie you could do worse than Flight Of The Living Dead. Its got a great C level cast with Steve Sommers fav Kevin J O'Connor as, what else, a smart ass con man, gone-to-seed hunk Richard Tyson, and many more..Just don't spend more than 99 cents in the bargain rental bin.
