Day of the Dead: Bloodline [2018] Full HD Movie Free Download

First of all, let me get this right out of the way now: as inept as this film was, it was NOWHERE near as gutturally painful as the 2008 shit-fest using the same name. This film, however, is titled Day Of The Dead: Bloodline, and it uses that tried and true undead blueprint to exhaustion once again. Sophie Skelton stars as Zoe, a medical student whose burgeoning medical career takes the precipitous faceplant once the zombie apocalypse rolls into town, and if that weren’t enough, she was being stalked by an uber-creepy fella named Max (Schaech) before all hell broke loose. So we forge along to 5 years after the devastation has taken full toll, and the remaining survivors have been shuttled off to an underground bunker, acting as a shelter and research facility to those hoping and praying for a cure. As unmemorable as that movie may be, its negligibility barely compares to that of 2005’s “Day of the Dead 2: Contagium.”  A rightfully ignored sequel of sorts to George A. Romero’s 1985 classic, “Contagium” came from the people also responsible for the awful anthology “Creepshow 3” (review here).  Why flush one franchise opportunity down the toilet when you can ruin two titles in the same licensing deal, right?

Zoe has a hunch that the next available supply-run needs to cross past an exclusion zone if you will to obtain an antidote for the undead process (all this medical jargon just makes my head spin). If that’s their operating philosophy, it makes sense that these same producers of the 2005 and 2008 “Day of the Dead” films would dig up the corpse they killed only to bury it again.  So it comes to pass that Taurus Entertainment, whose work is so sloppy that end credits misspell their name, takes an equally odious third stab at failure.  Overly eager to elbow Steve Miner’s remake as well as “Contagium” out of its way, “Day of the Dead: Bloodline” mounts a persuasive ‘For Your Consideration’ campaign in the category of “Worst Movie to Bear the ‘Day of the Dead’ Name.”

As fate would have it, Zoe’s deader-than-dead stalker friend has made his way to the bunker (smart guy, that he is…or was), and quickly becomes the template for the Bub of the new generation. While I’ve always admired Schaech as an actor, this role was a bit too unsettling for me, as he basically played a violent, unhinged rapist of sorts while he was alive, and after his death he took on an even more sadistic stance, while not wanting to cause harm to his beloved Zoe – just a very odd construction of sorts. The circumstances in the film just couldn’t hold up a house of cards, with its bland plot-pathing and lamentable usage of CGI. The characters are as stiff as a laundry basket full of starched-shirts, and the dialogue is downright painful at certain moments.

“Day of the Dead: Bloodline” opens with a montage where one zombie gnaws on a lone man.  A close-up then cuts to a newscaster watching two panicking people run across what is clearly a film studio backlot.  We’re not even introduced to the military bunker where much of the movie unfolds and the initial sense of claustrophobia comes from how a tight budgetary belt cheaply confines scope.

A flashback to four hours earlier shows struggling med student Zoe.  In the midst of conducting research, Zoe pauses to smile at family photos taped above her microscope.  With fantastically organic pinches of character development like this, how can anyone not be instantly bonded to her emotionally?

As much as I’ve ranted, raved, babbled and bled on about the friggin’ zombie movie overload during the past 4-5 years, it just seems as if this train is running on greased tracks, unable to stop regardless of how much blockage is stacked in its way. Tonight, Hector Hernandez Vicens’ tweaking of the Romero classic Day Of The Dead is on the chopping block, and I think it’s relatively safe to say that the onlookers to the execution in the front row will be going home with some serious spray on their supper clothes – let’s delve into this nugget, shall we?

Two kinds of “Day of the Dead” fans exist in this world: those who’ve never seen the 2008 remake starring Mena Suvari, and those who did, but have understandably forgotten it since.
