    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The computer screen and readout in the bunker near the end refer to 'Project Wildfire'. This was the code name used in The Andromeda Strain (1971), which deals with a crashed satellite that infects a community with a deadly organism. The zombie virus in Night of the Living Dead (1968) was blamed on a crashed space probe.
    • Goofs
      Mena Suvari's character is referred to as "Cpl. Cross" in both conversation and on her uniform, but she is listed as "Sarah Bowman" in the credits.
    • Quotes

      Salazar: [about Ben] This shit is ridiculous. I mean, why Thriller over here ain't trying to eat us?

      Sarah Bowman: He's a vegetarian.

      Salazar: That's the best explanation you can come up with?

      Sarah Bowman: You got a better one?

      Salazar: All I'm saying, as long he don't try to mistake me for a soy bean burger, we're gonna be all right.

    • Alternate versions
      -** SPOILER ALERT! *** The alternate ending on the DVD has Salazar's character disappearing off screen after opening fire in the Nike missile silo. He screams, fires again, then the horde of zombies appears. The film continues exactly as it did in the theatrical release, until, as they escape in the SUV, they pass a building in the exterior of the missile base. Salazar emerges, screaming that he wasn't bitten, and muttering that everyone expects the black guy to die. He gets into the SUV, and they drive off. At that point, the screaming zombie pops into frame.

    I love Zombie movies, but NOT this one
    I saw the screening for Day of the Dead in LA in September... I wanted my money back, but i didn't even pay for the movie.

    Cardboard acting, completely ridiculous character traits that defy all sense of realism (Marines do NOT act like that, ever), and very odd casting that didn't work out (Mena Suvari and Nick Cannon? Come on). Also, there was definitely no style to this movie at all! Dawn of the Dead had style, Grindhouse (although not a Zombie flick, but of a similar genre-style) was greatly stylized, Sin City was exciting visually as well, but this movie could have been shot in daylight outside of LA over a weekend. It had no "Feel" to it. I love Zombie movies (James Gunn's Dawn of the Dead, awesome), but this one was true Hollywood schlock and a big disappointment.

    Who ever thought a ZOMBIE movie could be Boring?
