Taurus Entertainment should be ashamed for making this 'sequel', as it's simply using the 'DAY OF THE DEAD' title to sell one of the worst zombie movies ever made. In 1968, at Ravenside Military Installation, a strange virus breaks free and turns the personnel into flesh eaters. The military comes in and shoots everyone in the head, but not before one of the escapees makes way with a vial containing a sample of the virus.Skip to present day. Ravenside is now a mental institution and one of the patients finds the vial. The virus slowly turns him and his friends into zombies and the whole place is soon rampaging with the creatures. The majority of the movie takes place in this mental institution, which is filled with the stereotypical characters (the understanding doctor with his own methods, the crazy fascist doctor and the horny orderlies who want to get the female patients alone). In addition to the story and dialogue being weak, the special makeup effects are piss poor and inconsistent from scene to scene. The continuity person must have been asleep. There are also variable speed zombies-sometimes shambling, sometimes running like in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. And like RETURN, the virus is spread by opening a sealed container. There's even a 'Tar Man' type monster! Believe me, you don't want to rent this flick out. I saw it for free and I still felt like I was immensely ripped off.The people responsible for this must not see movie are producer James Dudelson and director Ana Clavell. Distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment.
