For every little bit of awesome in Fido there is a bit of suck in the new Day of the Dead. Seriously, it sucked so bad it was nearly unwatchable. I found myself saying outloud “you have to be fucking kidding me� again and again. It’s one of the worst zombie films ever made. OK, it’s not quite as bad as the Return of the Living Dead series but it’s damn close. You might be thinking this is obvious because it’s a remake and there for destined to suck but then again you might be one of the people who refused to see the new Dawn of the Dead which means you missed out bigtime. I’m sorry but it’s true, if you didn’t see the new Dawn you can’t call yourself a zombie fan. Pack it up and go watch Batman Forever or something. But I’m ranting here. In the same vein as Dawn this is a remake in name alone. With the exception of a few minor story points this is an entirely new movie, and entirely sucky. Look, we can all admit that the original Day was not the best thing Romero ever did but that’s no excuse for the massive piece of crap this turned out to be. Everything about it made me want to claw my own eyes out, and I can only hope that the people making the movie did the same thing because if they were blind that would slightly begin to justify how shitty everything about the movie was. The effect, if you can even call them that, were YouTube quality and calling the young soldier boy “Bud� at the beginning actually physically hurt me. But, point is I watched this so you don’t have to. Unless you hate yourself and want to endure needless suffering, then go ahead. Otherwise run in fear.
