Reviews

Brian Orndorf wrote on dvdtalk.com that the film had eliminated the reservations he had about Zombie 2 with its “listless” direction and the “uninspired” script. Steve Miner lost all his credibility as a director by using a number of absurd fashionable camera angles and editing methods. The special effects are "shabby"; the film seems cheap.

backgrounds

The film was shot in Sofia and Pravetz ( Bulgaria ). Its production amounted to an estimated 18 million US dollars . The film was released directly on video: April 8, 2008 in the United States and May 15, 2008 in Germany.

In George Romero's original Day of the Dead , the plague broke out a long time ago and the world is inhabited by the undead. The remake takes place before the "apocalypse". So the remake only has the same background and can be classified chronologically, for example, at Night of the Living Dead .

On February 7, 2012, the film was first released in 3-D in the United States on Blu-Ray.
