ha! look at that cast! this is gonna be awful. no, i don't think it went to theaters. but it looks about as good as Day Of The Dead 2: Contagium.
Bad Photoshop job within the puke....
well..thats one sentence I thought i'd never write...lol

I'm sorry but what the f**k is this?!
Wondered what happended to this. I had high hopes given how enjoyable Lake Placid was but the reviews on imdb aren't exactly favourable. Poor Ving Rhames. At least Dawn of the Dead was good.
I read that Optimum had optioned this for distribution before it was shot so it might make it into cinemas in the UK. Doubt they'll be throwing much weight behind it though.
That cover is atrocious. The hideousness of the image aside if you're going to decide the vomit needs eyes and ears at least motion blur them so it doesn't look so sh*t.

Contagium was so unfathomably horrible it's difficult to even refer to it as a film.
I have to agree this is one of the worst covers I've ever seen. anyone who excercises this poor of judgement on cover art can't have done too good a job on the film itself.

I saw this movie at a test screening. Believe me, that cover is accurate to the audience reaction to the movie.
Ving Rhames has gone to an all-time low...
I've never even heard of this remake.... when was this made?
That cover is so bad. CHANGE IT!!!!!
BTW, heard about it. Saw a trailer about a year ago and never heard from it again.

Well it's got some horror cred at the helm. Steve Miner directed two Friday The 13th's and one Halloween sequel!
I just don't get it. Mena is a decently attractive woman, Ving is a recognizable star... and the place THIS on the cover?!?! Unless it was in their contract not to be part of the advertising, it makes no sense. I love me some Zombie movies, and some flesh eaters, so I will probably buy this... I have done worse in the past.
Thats supposed to be vomit?!? I thought he was trying to eat Big Bird.
This movie contains a vegan zombie that doesn't eat people. That should tell you everything you will ever need to know about it.

I can't believe they made Bub a vegan.

This must be bad if they delayed the release date several times after poor test screenings, did reshoots, and then banished it to home video. What a waste of 18 million dollars, and so much for Steve Miner's comeback to the big screen.
wow! must be bad to miss the cinema release!
Well at least we now know where this movie went. I saw the trailer probably over a year ago and it looked horrible. I guess it really was.
oh dear, I knew about this. there was a thearical poster that is pretty good actually, why dont they use it ? I bet this would sell a few more, cause that cover IS awful !
Not surprised at all this bypassed a theatrical run completely.
Wow... this has to be the most grotesque and absurd DVD artwork I've ever seen. Seriously, who would, in their righteous mind, put a puking zombie on the cover instead of Ving Rhames or Mena Suvari? Did she get THAT ugly since "Sugar and Spice"?

That just shows how lousy it is if the studio wants to get rid of it.

Yeah, she has lost it since.

Yep, disappointed to hear that the film has been released Direct to DVD (guess the film must be bad)... as I enjoyed the Dawn of the Dead remake with Ving Rhames.
Hopefully, it will be one of those films so bad that it is enjoyable...

This didnt get theaters? LOL
When did studios start putting screenplay writer credits on the cover? ....who cares. Next thing you know the Best Boy Grip credit will be on the cover.
hmmm...putting Nick Cannon On Your Dvd Cover Sure to sell movies...lmao!!!
i remember seeing the trailer ages ago and it looked like sh*t so this doesn't surprise me.
wanted to see this movie wondered when it was gonna come out now i know what a shame that dawn of the dead was awesome now this one goes to direct to video
i've been looking forward to this remake. but that cover art is very bad.
a zombie puking? why?
a zombie puking? why?
It may be a bad Movie,but ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING That has Ving Rhams in it,its going to be worth watching,that guy is one of the best actors out thereand I could watch that guy in Anything!
