If I were George Romero, I would personally hire a fleet of lawyers and simply sue over the fact that they took the title of one of my movies and ruined it with this...this sorry excuse for a movie.
If I were running this site, I would have this movie in the bottom 250, and have it ranked worse than that Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini movie...yes friends, this movie is just that bad.
The movie opens with some very good action. In this movie we see the military has begun experimentation with these vials look like tampon applicators, that seem to have the ability to bring the dead to life. The fact that the military rushes right into the installation after the viral outbreak blasting anyone that isn't in military fatigues in the head was pretty cool, minus the fact that there was no smoke coming from the gun, no bullets being discharged...well you can't have them all I suppose. In the beginning we see a lowly hospital worker steal a vial and hide it in his trusting thermos only to be shot and killed.
Fast Forward 37 years later...
The military complex is turned into a mental hospital (with no gates to prevent escape mind you). One of the doctors (who lives with his patients) takes a group of guys on work detail and they happen to find...yup you guess it, the thermos from 37 years ago. After trying to open the thermos to no avail for a while, it finally opens and when the tampon applicator opens, it looks as though Tinkerbell is infecting all around with this virus. People start to show signs of being sick, and when a male orderly attempts sexual assault of a patient, he gets bitten and the fun really begins...or lack there of.
While this movie has loads of gore, even it won't save the terrible plot, the horrible acting, and the annoying plot holes. Like the original zombies having an almost Borg like connection. One gets hit, the others feel it, what one sees, they all see. One gets shot, they all have marks baring the gunshot. Or, how about the son of the worker who stole the evil tampon applicator who at the beginning it's indicated that he's a young child (1 or 2 years old) he shows up seemingly knowing everything about everything. How does he know that?! And how is he able to just walk into a highly restricted psych ward with no identification? Especially when the head physician ordered that wing shut down, and the orderlies armed with orders to shoot to kill anyone coming out of that ward? And of course, the zombies sit there, have conversations and wisecrack. I'm sorry but that should only happen in the Return of the Living Dead series because that series is for fun (except the excellent third one where its' full on serious).
All in all, avoid this movie like the plague. This is the worst movie that I have ever seen in my life, and I've seen Showgirls! I give this movie a 0.000001/10 *please note there is a 0.000001% margin of error.
