Only the merest thematic relationship exists (ie the flesh-eating living dead). I cannot see it as an actually remake. I also think it's an OK bit of pulp and one of the better of the "fast moving zombies" sub-genre. It's a darn sight better than Zack Snyder's remake (and it is a remake) if Dawn Of The Dead in my book!

Sorry I disagree, the problem with day of the dead is even if you claim its not a remake, it uses a well known zombie title to sell its awful film. Having a few character names the same as the orginal confirms its remake status.
It came out after the well made dawn of the dead remake. The scene in day of the dead with the zombie running across the wall still makes me shudder. It isn't better than Snyder effort. Yeah Snyder failed to add the isolation factor of the orginal, but its not a bad movie at all and had some great elements to it.
