Movie Review: Day of the Dead: Bloodlines


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have come across this entry. Today, 02/10/18, I am watching the 2018 flick Day of the Dead: Bloodline.  It stars Sophie Skelton, Johnathon Schaech and Jeff Gum.  "A small group of military personnel and survivalists dwell in an underground bunker as they seek to find a cure in a world overrun by zombies."  It currently has a 3.4 rating with 1,796 votes.  I do not recognize any of the actors in this flick so I have a feeling this is not going to be good.

  • Good grief what is with all the blood spraying
  • She is going to be right, it isn't N1H1
  • Did she say 100 times more antibodies...that will come back to play at some point
  • Yeah it is normal to carve someones name into your arm
  • They spilled more alcohol then they got
  • That guy is the dumbest looking doctor I've ever seen!
  • Apparently the jump scare in the morgue is right as my wife just about threw her drink just now
  • So a zombie just saved a girl from being raped...does that make it a hero?
  • Wait...all that drinking and partying is at the hospital?
  • Good god this blood spray stuff is plain stupid
  • Rotters?  Not a good name...because they don't rot do they?
  • Oh good they did the blood splatter on the camera
  • So is this just going to be a remake of the remake of the remake of Day of the Dead?
  • Some of those are the worst looking soldiers I've ever seen in a movie
  • Pretty sure if there is a zombie outbreak keeping the windows rolled up might be rule number one
  • I too miss people shutting the fuck up
  • Good grief the dialog in zombie movies gets worse in each flick I think
  • I was wrong...they are rotting
  • How do they understand what is being said on the radio?  It seems all static to me
  • Well this has been really easy for them....and then Zoe leaves the group of course
  • Of course you start shooting...that won't bring the entire place full of zombies down on you
  • Are we going to see a bloodhound zombie now?
  • I will say this flick has a decent pace thus far
  • How far into the woods did that ball go?
  • Good grief, dumb soldier or dumbest soldier?
  • These are the worst soldier of all time
  • How did they not smell the blood hound zombie?
  • Of course it is rats and porn
  • Yep better investigate the dripping blood
  • Why do soldiers always yell "go go go" or "run run run"?
  • People die in zombie movies because they do REALLY stupid stuff
  • Max is a really cool looking zombie, kind of like the one in Fido
  • Did she just say head bite?
  • Clever girl...er...zombie
  • Gonna go after the little girl because he saw Zoe with her
  • Where has mom been this whole time?
  • The little girl....ran..outside...toward the zombies?
  • That makes two jump scares that got the wife.  The last one she said "AHHH...son of a bitch"
  • remember that pacing I was saying was good earlier...now not so much....this seems a lot longer than 90 minutes
  • Really?  She just pulled the I love you line?
Okay...that was something.  Very similar to the original which I did not care for.  The problem with most zombie movies is that people do stupid stuff and then that keeps the movie going.  For once I would like to see a smartly written zombie flick that bad things still happen in.  Think Scream but for zombies...wait...never mind...no one read that!  If I could create such a flick....

Okay seriously though the dialog left a lot to be desired especially in the jerk military Lieutenant.  The blood effects were over the top most of the time as well.  

However Max had a very creepy feel to him from his Animated Batman Joker smile to the fact that he was not only a zombie but a stalker zombie as well.  

Overall not a horrible movie but I think the 3 that people have given the flick is about right.  It had an interesting idea but overall fell flat which most zombie movies do!

The movie is terrible, nothing in it is even decent. The characters suck, there "story" if you can call it that way is just not there, it's so bad it will make you wonder why does this even exist.
