Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is a motion picture that demands to be seen. Intense, horrifying film that is a significant addition to the zombie genre. Inspired direction coupled with an imaginative script make for an often uneven but always terrifying motion picture experience. The make-up is some of the most creative ever done in cinema and is a vital element in some of the brilliant scenes both shock and entrance the audience. The performances are incredibly powerful and uniformly excellent as a cast of talented actors give everything they have to the overall success of what is essentially an ensemble effort. A relatively substantial budget is certainly reflected in the production values and special effects which will leave most viewers speechless. While this film is sometimes not accepted as an authentic entry in the Day of the Dead series, it is an admired stand alone film that offers a powerful story that is both unique and very well told.

Okay, this I just can't believe... Whomever had the balls to take a stupid script about some idiots in a mental institute who do nothing else but nag to each other and then near the end of the movie mess around with some extras in bad zombie-make-up and slap it with the title 'Day of the Dead 2: Contagium'... should just be castrated! The zombie genre will be better off without balls like these. This flick is embarrassing. And it's a goddamn insult to Romero's complete franchise. I'll give this poor attempt at a zombie-movie two worthy points for that one orderly guy turning into a walking, talking, gut-munching, red-blooded, infected steak haché. He's one of the most wonderfully retarded zombies I've ever seen in a movie. But if you don't fancy seeing that, then please, whatever you do... do *not* give this movie a chance. Not even out of curiosity.

As a spin off of a sequel, this isn't bad. Not really. The premise may be ludicrous, but once one considers the source material this spins from, this story line seems quite logical, actually. We do tend to enslave anything we consider of lesser intelligence with stronger backs, so the idea of domesticating the zombies to perform manual labor tasks, etc. is not quite so strange.Considering the budget, this is not so bad, but I can say I am entirely thankful they did not continue with this line, and reverted back to the original "Dead" series.All in all? This is a franchise fan's movie. I won't say that casual viewers cannot enjoy it, but I generally would not expect it. It's bloody and visceral like the rest of the series, and not for younger viewers or the squeamish.It rates a 4.9/10 on the Movie Scale.It rates a 0/10 on the Romero Scale (It's NOT a Romero Film).It rates a 7.4/10 on the Splatter Scale from...the Fiend :.

Day of the Dead 2 (2005) BOMB (out of 4) If I could I'd give this sucker a double BOMB rating. The next time I hear a horror fan complain about remakes I'm going to wack them upside the nose with this film. This in-name-only sequel to the George Romero film is without a doubt one of the worst ever made and for the life of me I can't understand the entire point of it. I'm sure they called it what they did to cash in on the Romero film but the movie doesn't try to connect one thing to the previous movie. The film contains some of the worst acting outside a 1st grade play and the story is downright confusing and stupid. There's some nice gore effects but they aren't worth sitting through this thing for.
