Day of the Dead: Bloodline is a 2017 horror movie that is a reboot of the 1985 classic film Day of the Dead. It is directed by Hèctor Hernández Vicens and stars Sophie Skelton, Johnathon Schaech, and Jeff Gum in the lead roles. The story follows Zoe Parker (played by Sophie Skelton), a medical student who is studying the effects of a virus outbreak that has turned most of the world's population into flesh-eating zombies. When the US military base where she studies is attacked by the undead, Zoe and a small group of survivors must fight for their lives while trying to find a cure for the virus.

The film explores the themes of survival, love, and sacrifice in a post-apocalyptic world. Zoe is the central character - a strong and independent woman who is passionate about her work and determined to find a cure for the virus. Her character contrasts with that of Max (Johnathon Schaech), a former soldier who is the leader of the survivors. Max is a rough and tough character who is not afraid to do whatever it takes to survive. He and Zoe have a complicated relationship - on the one hand, they are attracted to each other, but on the other hand, they have different opinions about how to deal with the outbreak.

Jeff Gum plays Miguel Salazar, a military man who is one of the few survivors at the base. He is a conflicted character who is torn between his loyalty to the military and his love for Zoe. His character provides an interesting twist to the story and adds depth to the film.

One of the unique features of the film is the use of zombies that retain some of their memories from when they were alive. This creates a sense of dread and horror as the survivors come face to face with their former loved ones who are now undead monsters. The zombies in Day of the Dead: Bloodline are also much faster and more agile than in the original film, which makes for some intense and thrilling action sequences.

The film is well-directed by Hèctor Hernández Vicens and he does an excellent job of building tension and creating a sense of claustrophobia as the survivors are trapped in the military base. The special effects and makeup are also top-notch, with some gruesome and gory scenes that will satisfy horror fans.

In terms of criticisms, some viewers might find the film to be too derivative of other zombie films, particularly the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. The characters are also somewhat one-dimensional, with Max being the typical tough guy and Zoe being the typical smart and resourceful woman. Nevertheless, the performances of the actors are solid and they do a good job of conveying the fear and desperation of their situation.

Overall, Day of the Dead: Bloodline is a decent horror film that will appeal to fans of the genre. It has some flaws, but it also has some strong points, including the use of zombies with memories and the intense action sequences. If you are looking for a gory and thrilling zombie film, then this movie is definitely worth a watch.

Day of the Dead: Bloodline is a 2018 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 31 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.4.
