Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

movieaddict1988 After watching this, I am in no doubt, that this film doesn't deserve a star rating. (ok, probably half a star at the very most) I was extremely disappointed with this film. Please if you are a fan of the first Day of The Dead film, keep it at that. Day of The Dead 2: Contagium has absolutely nothing to do with the first film and is just a cash-in because Taurus Entertainment Company hold the rights to the original 1985 film. So in their eyes, this is an official sequel, but the fans now this most definitely not to be the case.So the bottom line basically is, please save yourself the time and don't watch this film!

matmcv I'm writing this review (something I don't usually bother to do) because I see this film gets completely slated by most reviewers and I think it's unfair. I broadly like this film because it has an interesting storyline, one unusual for zombie films in the kind of characters that are involved and how deeply it goes into the process of infection and contamination. I felt the film was aiming for a more humane and thoughtful story than the average zombie flick by featuring patients and staff at a mental health institution rather than something more macho like cops (Dawn of the Dead), soldiers (Day of the Dead), etc. And instead of people just becoming a threat once they are infected we see a long process exploring how they feel, detailing the change and so on. Every other zombie film doesn't do this, so it was nice to see something different. There were lots of side-plots, which for some seems to be another fault, but to me added an element of realism to the situation and dimension to the characters.I'm sure most of the criticisms made on technical points - special effects, editing etc. - are valid, but I didn't notice. I don't care about things like that compared to the story and plot development. There was a certain amount of confusion at times with the editing jumping us around from scene to scene and the layout of the building wasn't exactly clear. I didn't think the acting was as bad as some say; I've seen zombie films rated much higher that had far worse acting and scripts.Since it's plot that I'm most interested in it's there I would have my main criticisms. The explanation for where this infection has come from is gradually unravelled, except only up to an extent, so you are left wanting to know more, or thinking maybe it's cobbled together by the writers without a clear back-story. Certain effects happen around the process of infection that are not explained at all and are highly mysterious. Unless it's a teaser for a sequel this sort of thing is unsatisfactory.It's true this film bears little connection to the original Day of the Dead and is not actually a sequel. But I don't really care and I think Romero can cope with it, he's a nice guy and has been thru worse.

alistairc_2000 This is less of a review and more of a warning. You might be suckered into thinking that this trash has something to do with Romero's classic it has not.I was really interested to hear that they were going to make a sequel to G Romero's Day of the Dead, then I found out he was not involved. Just as well as this is number 3 on the all time terrible list for zombie movies. This movie has nothing to do with the first movie and has a first when you become a zombie you become telepathic... tele-pathetic more like... avoid this unless you enjoy pain......If they had let it stand on its own merits rather than trying to lay claim to a classic this would have just been pathetic. As it is its not so bad its good its just play bad. I love bad horror movies but this one left me completely cold. It was another one of those movies I suffered at Frought fest. That was when I could be bothered to go.

kurciasbezdalas I've watched this film mainly because of curiosity, because most of the people say it's bad without properly explaining why, but I think that there is no movies which would be all bad, there still must be something good about it. Actually it wasn't that bad. The biggest mistake that makers of this film did was to call it Day of the Dead 2 (probably because to attract more audience). As sequel to Day of the Dead it sucks, but it's still good as just a zombie movie. There was some blood, graphic violence scenes and humor. The idea was quite good. This movie was interesting to watch, if it would be boring, I probably wouldn't watch it to the end. I understand why some people were disappointed by it, but it wasn't all bad.
