oh and 35mm film is a unique substance our best digital cameras are not near the accuracy and detail and balance as ancient films such as this. It it how we still get high definition from the negatives ect. 35MM high definition across a high definition monitor has a different depth and warmth to the image, it's much more natural and easier to work with when editing a single image for something like enlarging a photo from a single frame.

The acting was pretty terrible, way over the top. I hate when movies do these insane hysterical villains, The Crow, Romper Stomper, Karate Kid. It severely degrades the quality of any film that resorts to these awful tropes. Although, at least Karate Kid and this movie sort of redeem themselves in the end. In Karate Kid the main bad guy is crying and hands the trophy to Daniel telling him he deserves it, and in Day of the Dead, Steel cries when he has to execute his friend, and the Commander is emotional and horrified when he sees what the scientists have been doing to his old commander. Villains need to have a little bit of humanity otherwise it seems unrealistic and takes you right out of the story. For too much of the movie the soldiers were just too over the top, way too maniacal, terribly one dimensional racist villains. Left me feeling bored as hell. Everything else was fantastic though, great scary zombie atmosphere. I wish I had seen this movie as a kid first, it would have wrecked me for life I think.

The zombie atmosphere was pretty scary though. When they get locked on the other side of the gate and the zombies all start coming down the mine towards them, that's terrifying. I've only seen clips of the 2007 one but a lot of people say it doesn't have that great creepy atmosphere, that it's mostly just jump scares and CGI gore.
