Day of the Dead 2: Contagium is a low-budget quasi-prequel to the George A. Romero film Day of the Dead. Although it is advertised as an official sequel as Taurus Entertainment Company holds the rights to the original film, no one from the original film, namely George A. Romero, had any involvement in Contagium.
The film has received dominantly negative reviews. One factor stems from the title. As the plot of the film and its depiction of zombies are at odds with those in both the original Day of the Dead and Romero's Dead series as a whole, it is believed that the film was titled as a sequel in order to profit from the release of Romero's actual Day of the Dead sequel, Land of the Dead, that had been released earlier the same year. Heavy criticisms have also been aimed at the film's acting, special effects, and script.
