DVD Giveaway: "Day of the Dead"

Ok, here’s one for all you horror fans out there! I’ve gotta be honest – I haven’t watched this movie, so you guys are on your own as to whether it’s any good or not.

If you win one of these Day of the Dead DVDs (I have four to give away), I hope you’ll send me an email and tell me what you think. I’d love to post YOUR review on Gecko. It doesn’t even have to be very long. Even a paragraph or two is great.

THE MOVIE: Nick Cannon, Mena Suvari, and Ving Rhames star in this 2008 horror flick based on the George A. Romero classic zombie film. A mysterious virus has infected the small town of Leadville, Colorado, and the military is brought in to enforce a quarantine and stop the spread of the disease. As people perish, survivors realize that the virus is creating the walking dead who crave human flesh…

Read on to enter the DVD Contest and watch a trailer…

Only a small number of people are immune to the virus and those few survivors must battle to fend off the infected zombies while trying to make it out of their town alive.

Directed by Steve Miner, this straight-to-DVD movie hits store shelves on April 8, 2008. It’s rated R for strong pervasive horror violence, gore and language (definitely not for kids).

DVD EXTRAS: Commentary by Steve Miner, Jeffrey Reddick (writer) and cast members; An “Internet Only” Trailer; Alternate Ending; Previews (and some awesomely gruesome motion-change cover art).

THE GIVEAWAY: I have FOUR “Day of the Dead” DVDs to give away. To enter the contest, simply leave a comment on this post by midnight on Sunday, April 6, 2008. Be sure to include a valid email address. A winner will be drawn randomly. I’ll email the winner for their snail-mail address after the contest ends. Good luck!
