Intentionally bad, and somewhat funny.

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2007)

(Spoilers be ahead)
Yeah, that's right. I thought that this movie would suck, and be a 20 minute turn off. I will willingly now eat crow. DotD was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be, which was pleasantly surprising. First and foremost, it was insanely graphic; almost a given with all zombie movies. We're also pretty much thrown right into the plot (which is unscary, but it was never meant to be), where a nurse, two black cops, and a couple of other characters that were the usual zombie-movie stock characters were thrown in. There's always the good looking blond, her boyfriend, the egotistical jerk who everyone wants to get offed as a guilty pleasure (*cough *cough, boat captain guy), and the old couple that somehow stumbled in but won't live very long. I will compliment the filmmakers, however. As another commenter said, this is a remake that didn't fall apart. The ending is cliché, but it was supposed to be. Anything else would ruin the movie. And now, that's got me thinking. What if Chuck Norris were cast into this flick and replaced with the sniper that Ving kept writing signs to. As soon as those zombies jumped through the shoot, they would be gonners for sure. Would Chuck need a razorwire truck with a chain saw? No way. Instead, Chuck would jump off of the ammo shop roof after eating 1000 AK-47 rounds and grenades for breakfast, and would take the zombies on with brass knuckles and flatulence. After racking up a quadruple digit body count, Norris would make a gigantic wall out of the dead zombies, allowing the characters to get to safety. In the end, he would unearth the body of John Wayne, who would no doubt shoot hundreds of nukes and obliterate the zombies into pixie dust, and all is well.
