Day of the Dead 2: Contagium

So the other day I was in the video store, and stumbled across this movie. Now, this is not a Romero sequel, but the back labeled it as 'paying homage' to the orginal Day. Now I am a huge fan of Romero's dead series, so I decided to pick this up. Was I ever disappointed. The concept of the movie was excellent, but the presentation sucked. I don't want to ruin it for those who may not have seen it, but for those of you who have what are you thoughts on this?

I haven't seen it yet and I'm hoping it will be released over here cause its not a film I rreally wanna pay a lot of money to see.
You're usually in for a bad run if a film is a sequel to a sequel.... i.e Class Of 1999 II: The Subsitute.

.....but maybe I'd be down with it could have a comci book vibe to it (like it keeps the Day Of The Dead world alive cause that could be quite interesting). Any of the same actors n' shit as the original? - yes I'm to lazy to look it up :)

No, none of the same actors. It is set in Pennsylvania and it happens 37 years after Day left off. Also, it is straight to DVD release.

Gah!

Never are these things worth your time, or your money. Post-modern zombie films, homages, indie efforts... don't build your hopes up, you will be invariably disappointed.

The only good thing about wasting your hard earned dollars on shite films, is the determination it gives you to abandon Blockbuster and seek out underground exploitation a million miles more genuine and innovative than this vapid mainstream bollocks.
