ommbomb Review of Day of the Dead: Bloodline

Day of the Dead: Bloodline (2017)

George Romero would be spinning in his grave!

[2/10 · 6 January 2018]

I love zombie movies..aged 13 when Dawn Of The Dead came out it changed my life. I stopped counting how many times I watched the Romero classic after it reached 350..(I know that is hard to believe). When Day Of The Dead arrived I was old enough to see it in a cinema..and I loved it. WHY would anyone attempt a remake is beyond me..there was a crap attempt at a remake over ten years ago and now this. Another crap one. Due to The Walking Dead and the pure genius of Nicotero most zombie attempts these days seem insignificant and poor, Day Of The Dead Bloodline is one of these films where I question..what a waste of money, when finished being made did those involved feel proud of their garbage? This remake has much swiped from Romero's original..instead of Bub we have Max..a semi human zombie who seems to be a bit of a perverted stalker. Everyone..scientists, military and civilians are all in a bunker. I forced myself to complete the viewing. The 2 stars is for the make-up effects which are quite good..however on a final note I can't stand fast running zombies. It works in 28 Days Later because we are dealing with a virus rather than reanimated corpses. The only person I believe could remake Day Of The Dead and succeed would be Grieg Nicotero. The undead should have a green, rotting shambling look to them. Anyway watch Day Of The Dead Bloodline at your own peril. But I suggest you watch Romero's original AGAIN instead..it is a more valuable way to spend your time.
