Very well executed

Redundant and unnecessary.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is such a bad movie 2.2 is overrating it. It is so not scary. This is a prequel to the Night of living dead (1968). Night of the living dead (1968) is a great movie. And this is pointless. The second living dead movie dawn of the dead is also very good. And the third living dead Day of the dead is a great movie. The fourth living dead movie land of the dead is a great movie. This movie has an awful story line. It also has an awful ending. Do not see this movie. The acting is pooh pooh. Night of the living dead (1990) is a lot better. Dawn of the dead (2004) is better and that is awful. This movie is not scary at all. It is just a money grab.

First of all, I must say that I am more than baffled at how this movie could get to bear a title like "Day of the Dead 2: Contagium", as it is nothing in the likes of the George A. Romero classic "Day of the Dead". They have nothing in common, aside from having zombies in them. And in fact, then this 2005 movie is a slap in the face to the original 1985 movie.That being said, then of course I had to watch it, because I am a zombie aficionado. I didn't even know that it existed before coming across it by sheer random luck on a visit to China back in 2005 or 2006. I have watched it twice since then; once when I purchased it, and once in 2016, as I just had to check if it was as bad as I initially remembered it to be... And it is!The story in "Day of the Dead 2: Contagium" takes place at Ravenside military hospital, where a lethal bacteriologic weapon gets out of control and turns people into zombies. Half a Century later, people at the facility finds a closed vacuum flask which holds a mysterious container inside. Once opened, the residents become exposed to a DNA altering substance.Right, well the story was mildly adequate, albeit it wasn't anything impressive in any sense. It had the right intentions, but just lacked conviction and execution. And directors Ana Clavell and James Glenn Dudelson were just fighting an uphill battle here.The effects in the movie just scream low budget to the core. And most of the times the effects just came off as being fake and laughable. And unfortunately so was the zombie make-up. It just didn't really work out all that well. And a zombie movie suffers a terrible blow when the effects are not in place.Another thing that made the movie come off more ridiculous than it had to was the flying specks of light when the container was opened. What was up with that? It just brought the movie down to a very laughable level. As did the thing with the collective mind and shared physical trait. Why would a group of people see and feel the same things just because they were exposed to a chemical? That would mean that all zombies would essentially see all the same things. No, it was just so illogical.The acting in the movie was as to be expected, adequate enough for what it was at this level of movie-making."Day of the Dead 2: Contagium" is by no means a noteworthy addition to the zombie genre. And if you do enjoy zombie movies, then you should stay well clear of this movie, as it do no justice at all to the 1985 Romero "Day of the Dead" movie, nor does it bring anything memorable to the genre. And I just can't fathom how this movie got to bear the "Day of the Dead" title.

In 2005, Hollywood came along and remade George Romero's classic DAWN OF THE DEAD. In terms of remakes, it was one of the best ever made. Why? Because the filmmakers wisely respected what the original did and then went about telling their own version. Shortly thereafter, Hollywood came along again. Bringing with them Mena Suvari, Nick Cannon, and Ving Rhames (who had previously starred in DAWN), the filmmakers probably figured they could work some magic out of remaking Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD. When that turned out to be a big old bust, someone out of desperation chose to make a sequel to the remake. The film opens in 1968 (probably a reference to the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD) at Ravenside Military Hospital, in Pittsburgh. A mysterious viral outbreak has turned many of the inmates into Z-heads! The army gets called in to shoot the zombies and then bomb everything. Which begs the question, why didn't they just start by bombing and leave it at that? Anyway, a cannister containing the virus escapes then gets lost in the middle of the... desert? Excuse me, but there are no deserts outside Pittsburgh. Anyway, flash-forward 40 some years. Now a group of mental patients stumble across the cannister (which looks in relatively good shape- little rust or dents). Once back in their hospital, the cannister gets opened and... same old same old! Though it's hard to imagine, this film is even WORSE than the DAY OF THE DEAD remake. Now, don't go thinking that's a recommendation to see the first one. Both are equally excruciating. If possible, dig a hole at least twenty feet deep, drop both movies in, douse them in gasoline, burn them, and then bury them. You will have performed an exorcism worthy of Max von Sydow! And if you don't get the reference, go back and watch THE EXCORIST. A way, way better horror movie!

I don't believe this film deserves a star because there is no point in rating a film with no plot, terrible actors, rubbish director, appalling gore, Just plain and simply shocking.There is only zombies in the last 10 minutes of the film and 4 minutes at the start. Simply AuwfulIf you ever buy this or rent it just send it back without watching it it is crapThis film contains a high amount of useless gibberish and the plot line wanders from being in an asylum to a blood research lab. Unfortunately the trailer looked good but trust me the most fun in this film you'l have will be seeing the credits at the end.GENERAL 1. The beginning of the film yields a solid start with good camera work and picture quality so you know it's not NTSC-TV so at least it doesn't look like you're watching Cribs or Pimp my Ride. But from now on the plot wanders from a bunch of guys who are mentally challenged to a handful of people who are researcher's in a asylumVERDICT 2. Don't bother looking at DVD, cassette and VHS Don't bother watching this crap unless your given it for free plus free cash handout.0.01/10
