10 More Horror Movie Remakes That Were Instantly Forgotten

It's easy to assume 2008's Day of the Dead and Day of the Dead: Bloodline aren't official remakes of George A. Romero's Day of the Dead. After all, the later instalments are set in a town while the original zombie flick took place in a military complex. 

However, Romero gave his seal of approval to both films, so they're officially part of the Dead franchise. 2008's Day of the Dead also stars Ving Rhames, who previously starred in the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead.

With all that said, it's strange why Romero gave these properties the thumbs up since they're both unbearably awful. Even though 1985's Day of the Dead is considered the weakest of the trilogy, it has plenty of fun characters, memorable sequences, and iconic deaths.

But these duds are so forgettable, the biggest zombie-lovers probably didn't realise they came out. The first remake is riddled with so much cliched dialogue and inconsistent storytelling, you'd never believe Romero signed off on it.

In Bloodline's defence, it tries something different, since it revolves around an intelligent zombie, which was only touched upon in the first Day of the Dead. 

Even though this is a creative idea, it doesn't make up for illogical character choices, poor acting, and predictable writing.
