While retrieving a keg of beer from the morgue, Zoe is confronted by her disturbed patient Max. Max, who is in love with her, attacks and attempts to rape her. However, a corpse reanimates and bites into Max 's throat. Zoe flees and warns everyone at the party, but hordes of the corpses, later dubbed Rotters, burst in and kill all except Zoe, who escapes through a window, only to find the city besieged by Rotters. The survivors of the initial outbreak are sent to refugee camps ; Zoe is sent to High Rock Emergency Bunker, run by Lieutenant Miguel Salazar. 5 years later, High Rock Emergency Bunker has lost contact with the other camps. Zoe and her friend Elyse serve as the camp doctors, treating illnesses and using Rotter blood samples to create a cure for the Rotters, though Miguel believes a cure is impossible. Miguel, at Zoe 's urging, sends Zoe, Elyse, his brother and her boyfriend Baca, Frank, Lucy, Derek, and Thomas on a supply run to retrieve medication from Whittendale University for Lily, a little girl suffering bacterial pneumonia. While taking medication from a professor 's office, Zoe encounters Max, now partially a Rotter. Horrified, Zoe flees and accidentally attracts the attention of other Rotters. The group saves her, but Frank is infected and is killed. Zoe successfully administers the medicine to Lily ; however Max has managed to enter the camp. Due to Frank 's death, animosity between Zoe and Miguel increase. While walking on her own, Zoe is attacked by Max, but signals for help and is rescued by Miguel, Baca, Thomas, Lucy, and Derek. Realizing that Max is not fully a Rotter, Zoe convinces Miguel to allow her to use Max 's blood to create a vaccine, and Miguel gives her 48 hours to create it, having been convinced by Frank 's wife Elle. Zoe and Elyse realize they need to test Max 's blood on blood samples from Live Rotters. She convinces Baca to help her by opening the gates to allow one Rotter in and take a blood sample from it. Though it initially goes well, Rotters burst through the gates and kill Thomas and infect Elyse. Miguel kills several Rotters and seals the doors to the compound, and, ignoring Zoe 's pleas that she can use the vaccine on Elyse, kills her. Miguel tells Baca that earlier he saw Zoe 's name carved into Max 's arm ; when Baca confronts Zoe about this, she tells him about Max 's rape attempt. Max steals the keys to his handcuffs from Alphonse in a scuffle. Max begins to taunt Zoe, telling her repeatedly `` You are mine '' before freeing himself and attempting to rape her again ; however, he is fended off by Baca. Lily 's mother who Max had previously infected, chases after Lily and kills Derek, only for Max to kill her and chase Lily to the motor pool. The remaining military personnel arrive, but Max opens the doors and allows a horde of Rotters inside, which kill Miguel, Elle, Lucy, and several others, though most of the Rotters are killed. Lily flees outside and Zoe chases after her. Max follows them and follows them into a greenhouse, where Zoe, hidden in mud, disembowels and decapitates Max. Zoe and Lily walk back into the compound, where she finds an infected Baca about to commit suicide. Zoe convinces Baca she can cure him with the vaccine and injects him with it, curing him. Some time later, High Rock Emergency Bunker has been repaired and Zoe sends a message to any remaining survivors that they have the vaccine, while the Rotters ' growls are heard from within a nearby forest.

Christa Campbell and Lati Grobman, two of the producers behind Texas Chainsaw 3D have obtained the rights. Campbell, who had a small role in the first remake said `` We want to keep it as close to the Romero version as possible. To make sure that his fans are happy. These are not going to be zombies climbing walls and doing back flips like in World War Z. '' Campbell and Grobman held meetings with possible writers to figure out the best way to adapt the story. It began filming in June 2016. Release The film was originally planned to be released in 2017, though it was later announced that it was delayed to a later release date of January 5, 2018. Reception The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 0 % based on 6 reviews, and an average rating of 2.1 / 10. Michael Gingold of Rue Morgue called the idea of a remake `` a foolish and pointless exercise '' and said the film 's themes were `` strictly and tediously standard - issue. '' Brian Tallerico on Rogerebert.com gave the film a star - and - a-half, stating there were a few well - choreographed action scenes but `` I was just watching people I did n't care about yell at each other and make really stupid decisions. '' Matt Donato of We Got This Covered gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and stated `` Day Of The Dead : Bloodline somehow dethrones 2008 's earlier remake attempt as an even more forgettable ' reimagining ' ( aka rip - off ).
