Day of the Dead 2: Contagium is a low-budget quasi-prequel to the George A. Romero film Day of the Dead. Although it is advertised as an official sequel as Taurus Entertainment Company holds the rights to the original film, no one from the original film had any involvement in Contagium.
Plot
In 1968, in the Ravenside Military Hospital in a military facility in Pennsylvania, the army loses control of an experiment of a lethal biological weapon that changes the DNA and transforms human beings into zombies. A group of soldiers are sent to the hospital to eliminate the infected staff and interns but private DeLuca steals a test tube with the virus and hides it inside a vacuum flask. He is transformed into a zombie and killed but the vacuum flask falls into the grass.
In the present day, a group of patients in the mental institution Ravenside Memorial Hospital finds the vacuum flask and later when one of them opens the vessel, the culture tube drops on the floor of a bathroom contaminating the group.
Reception
The film has received dominantly negative reviews. One factor stems from the title, as the plot of the film and its depiction of zombies are at odds with those in both the original Day of the Dead and Romero’s Dead series as a whole. Heavy criticism have also been aimed at the film’s acting, special effects, and script.

Are you kidding!!? 3 Stars!? Are you just giving it more than 1 star for shock value? Have you even seen this film? You should be ashamed of yourself!!!! Stop blogging. I’m afraid to look up your ratings for, actual, good zombie movies. Did you give 28 weeks later 5 stars?
I bet you did
That’s a bit harsh.
would like some constructive criticism about this movie, though. is it any good?
It’s really not that harsh…this is possibly the worst film I have ever watched….I wanted it to be good but the plot was really slow to develop and the actors were terrible!
Oh yeah, this is the worst shitfest EVER. horrible acting, no story to speak of.
Insulting to zombie fans everywhere.
a think a will give this 1, a wide berth
yeah!!!
I must say this movie did no justice to the Zombie film industry it was not a film that I would recommend anyone to watch if you are a zombie movie fan.
Bub you summed it up in a nut shell.
wankathon,thats what i had when this film was on,cos it was bollocks!
THIS WAS THE WORST ZOMBIE MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! i love zombie movies, but dumbass ones like this just makes me want to hit babies!
I havnt seen it but I wonder was it worse than house of the Dead,Day of the dead the remake,or any of a long string of other wannabes.
