THE DAY OF THE DEAD is an indie horror/thriller, shot in Chicago with a Hispanic cast. It feels more like a social drama than a horror film, because the horror content is severely limited. The plot involves a gang of thuggish thrill-seekers who murder a young immigrant Mexican girl for kicks, only to soon regret their actions. The political angle looks at the plight of immigrants in America, but mostly this is the usual indie nonsense with unconvincing acting, some cheap gore scenes, and a lot of bad direction.
