I didn't even know they made this thing.
What the hell happened to Ving Rhames' career?
Day of the Dead - Remake
I remember the original and I remember it sucking. That's sort of why I was surprised they remade it.
I guess I shouldn't have been as all Hollywood has left in its bag of tricks is remakes.

Yeah, some underground military base. Run by a general & scientist that don't get along. Scientist is trying to domesticate zombies. Hilarity ensues.Leisher wrote:There was a tunnel where they kept zombies right?

It was filmed, IIRC, in an actual underground storage tunnel complex in... Florida?
Apparently it actually is massive.... used for RV storage, I think.
The original was hit and miss. It was a great concept, and had some disturbing imagery and ideas, but then it fell down in the 'human' elements. A zombie named "Bub." Psychotic military people, of course. The dope-smoking hippies being the only peeps with morality. whatever.

If you missed the previous review I posted, see Fido. A zombie domestication movie set in a "Leave it to Beaver" world.

I'd like to see a movie playing with the potential of zombies as a renewable energy resource. I mean they're basically little biological perpetual motion machines, aren't they? Stick one in a giant hamster wheel with a generator attached, let him see you, and you can convert his shambling and lurching into a few ergs of juice.
Of course if that happened we'd eventually have a zombie crisis and end up invading some foreign country to steal their zombies. And we get "No war for zombies!" protests from the bleeding hearts that would rather just convert our armed forces directly into zombies instead. Bah.

I hate new school zombies. They're too fast and too strong. The human race wouldn't stand a chance of survival if zombies were like that. Plus, them moving so fast takes a lot of the suspense out of the story, it just becomes all action. Instead of any drama from someone encountering a person they know, there's no time for stuff like that. The fast zombies remove the element of fear caused by the "holy shit, they're us" factor and simply turn it into a survival movie.
I don't think rotting corpses should have the speed of Jesse Owens, the stamina of a Pony Express horse, and the strength of Arnold Swartzenegger.
Throw all of that together plus overwhelming numbers and a single bite causing the victim to also become one of them and you've got an unstoppable plague that would wipe life off the planet.
"World War Z" and "The Walking Dead", two of the best zombie stories, if not THE best, would not be possible with the superhuman zombies.
At least in the 28 Days Later series they have the sense the limit the damage to an island and rapidly starve the "zombie-like" monsters to death.
I do like the concept of zombies moving a bit quicker, not sprinting, if they're "fresher" dead and/or when it's warmer.

Someone needs to figure out the rules for the undead. It seems weird that by that logic, zombies get more worthless as they get older while mummies, vampires, etc., all get stronger as they get older. How the fuck the zombies get the short end of the stick?
