On second thought, if it makes the original not seem as sluggishly paced and actually improves that one in retrospect, maybe I should watch the remake...
It just arrived via Amazon, along with another Bette Davis boxed set and the humbly packaged There Will Be Blood.
Here's the first paragraph of the review of DAY OF THE DEAD from DVD talk:
"Day of the Dead" is a vile, pathetic, slapdash motion picture, and this comes from a critic who didn't even like George Romero's 1985 original film. Whatever qualms I had with Romero's sluggish direction and uninspired screenwriting have now been effectively erased by this monstrosity of a remake." -Brian Orndorf
It must be awesome beyond words.

Good luck.
It's sluggish until it's time to weed out some cast members. Then it just gets dumb.Originally Posted by Akira
Admittedly I am not a big zombie guy. But just thinking about all of Romero's Dead projects and trying to keep them straight gives me a headache.
slapdash
Enjoy. I love to watch crap every now and then myself. Kind of the cinematic equivalent of going, dammit, I know it's gonna kill me, but I'm jonezing for some Big Macs.

Don't fucking do it. It sucks so bad.
It's on DVD already? I didn't even know it came out. Was it released theatrically?
