This movie signals the destructions of low budget independent zombie films...
When you think of it the people that produced this movie tried to do what Lucio Fulci did with his movie "Zombie" aka Zombi 2... He named the title so that it would get attention, trying to make people think its a sequel to Dawn of the Dead, they did the same thing with this movie...
Lemme start by saying that no one should see this movie, if you are in a store and you see this movie on the shelf, "Oh, Day of the Dead 2!" don't get curious and pick it up, don't look at the back of the film case, don't look at the cover... Run away, arms flailing, screaming! And if you own this movie for god's sake burn it. I bought this movie, out of curiosity, in Best buy one day. After i watched it, instead of taking it back i broke the disc in half, burned it, and plopped the remains in the trash(the destruction of the DVD was more exciting than the movie, and it was worth the 15 dollars i paid for it, just to get the satisfaction to destroy it.
This movie takes everything you'd expect from a zombie movie and totally craps all over the genre, if i may call it a genre(and I will because zombie movies deserve their own slot.) The make-up in this movie is horrible, it looked like clay and silly putty, and the organs/intestines in the movie are obviously made of foam rubber. The acting is horrible, when this movie opened i thought they were living in the hospital due to mental retardation, not because they were crazy, or had "anger problems". The special effects in this movie are horrible, i love how the opening is set in 1968, but they're using weapons that hadn't yet been released. And not only are they using "future guns!" but the gun don't fire at all, they person holding the gun acts like there is recoil, which they do very badly.
I am a classic zombie freak, I think zombies should Walk, not run; lust, not think; and moan, not talk... but this movie goes against all of that. The zombies run, the zombies think, and the zombies talk(though the acting is so horrible all you'll here is moaning, when you're laying on the ground crying. BTW, this movie is as much a zombie movie as "childs play" it's more like 28 days, though i hate to compare them, the people aren't zombies so much as they are mutants.
BTW, even the title is messed up, the disease isn't a contagium, a group caught it, in the bathroom >.>, and they are infected, but they interact with everyone in the hospital, yet no one they interact with catches the virus...
I feel bad about writing this, because the scores don't get any lower than 1. this movie wasn't awful, it was a freaking mess from start to end, a train wreck you couldn't help but look at. If someone invites you to their place to watch it, never talk to that person again, they led you down the path of unholy, horrible, movies.
