What people are saying
- Gimly★ 3/10
Props for making Johnathon Schaech look like... that... But why did this second remake even happen again? Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
- Leno★ 4/10
This movie has nothing to do with the original Day of the Dead. Overall, it is a watchable zombie movie with reasonably good effects. However, the plot is unrealistic and shallow.
