It should be no surprise that that Day of the Dead 2: Contagium rings in as another Yellow Puss. Probably it should be Red Blood. I’ll tell you what I have to say about this film, but first please read these which I found under “Reception” on Wikipedia….
Peter Dendle called DOTD2 Contagium a “boring, transparent feature” that was “forgotten almost as soon as it was released”.
Steve Barton of Dread Central rated it 0/5 stars and wrote, “This is a sequel in name only, created solely to generate revenue from ill informed fans.” Contagium
Joseph Savitski of Beyond Hollywood wrote that the film “is not only an exercise in incompetence, but also a blatant attempt at false advertising.”
Dennis Prince of DVD Verdict wrote, “There is no warning too strong that would urge you to avoid this DVD at all costs.”
So what does BagpiperDon think of Contagium?
Bearing in mind that this film hand a whole whopping $1M budget in 2005 — that should already tell you that this is a nothing film. It was confusing as to the significance in light of the 1985 “Day of the Dead” not to mention the “Day of the Dead” from 2008. It seems like a film that wants to have a few good new ideas to the genre. Also, it had the fun of being a simple, low-budget Z-film ….. but in the end… it’s a waste of time.
