The Day -
Another short movie and it's an odd one. I think everyone knows Night of the Living Dead and the 1990 remake are great, classic horror movies. With The Day, it seems like all they wanted to do is make the house standoff. When I started the movie, I thought this might be bad when I saw the WWE logo. I've seen a few of their horror movies, none of which are particularly good. This one does have a cast of actors that I've seen in other movies and TV shows. It seems like I'll watch Shannyn Sossamon in almost anything these days. Yet the whole movie is basically people in an apocalypse, who knows how the apocalypse happened, stop at a house and run into bad people. Who they know are out there. Unlike the zombies where we are figuring out along with the characters what the situation is. Here we are in the dark and just there to see if this group will survive the bad group that is coming for them. A group that doesn't come off as heroic either when an event happens. There is a twist but nothing major really comes of it. It's a very bleak movie right down to the cinematography. And fairly pointless in the end.
