My favorite part of this movie? Zombies with guns! They weren't great marksmen, but they more than make up for it in enthusiasm. Also, who ever would expect to hear the words "zombie" and "crush" in the same sentence?
My least favorite part? Mena Suvari. Yes, she's cute, but this was not her kind of role. Ving Rhames, though under-used in this film, actually did okay and probably enjoyed becoming a zombie during one scene!
The DVD includes several extras, including:
- Cast And Crew Commentary
- "On the Set"
- Alternate Ending
- Several trailers (international, unrated, and theatrical)
- Photo Gallery
- Interviews
Overall, this movie turned out better than I expected. Yes, it followed the traditional zombie formula, but it had some great one-liners. I've seen more intelligent zombie flicks, but this one was okay in my book.
Day of the Dead will be released on DVD on September 9, 2008 at major retailers across Canada.
