Dieing to see it................
 

LAND OF THE DEAD............. I heard by the it sucked but the people that said that are not into horror. Anybody seen it??? I heard the Zombies can think. sounds cool to me!! so let me have it good or bad!! :confused:

It sucked.

Oh man your kidding!! Do you like Zombie movies?? Did you like 28 days or Dawn Of The Dead??

Loved "Dawn of the dead" - new version. Was disappointed over "28 days later" even though it started out nicely.

I will see LAND OF THE DEAD anyway Because I watch ALL horror movies But I won't Expect to much!! Thanks for your Input!!

Would you guys concider RE-ANAMATOR to be a Zombie movie??

I thought Land of the Dead was entertaining. There was nothing scary or jumpy about it but it was just an interesting look at zombies like all the rest of Romero's zombie flicks.

I have been wanting to see this movie as well, but still haven't gotten a chance to go yet....it is already at the dollar theater around here, so I guess I will go see it this week before it is gone.

28 Days isn't a zombie movie....

zombies are the dead that have come back....

in 28 Days nobody dies and comes back...

in the opening scene a doctor is bitten and recieves a virus that spreads.

Its been a while since this "theory" has been discussed.
For the record....i'm with you.

don't get vod started on this

I loved it

Still waiting for the Uk release :(

I need my zombie fix!

you poor thing. They needa release everything world wide at the same time...sillyness.

the same with Devils Rejects... I have to make an effort to normaly stay away from major film release threads, to stear clear of spoilers, and whats worse, I can't join in on discussions till ages later. :(

Personally, I thought Land of the Dead was a true masterpiece and the culmination of the kind of films Romero has been making for years. Obviously some were disappointed that it wasn't scarier, gorier, or more action-packed. But, as I've written on another thread, I think that was part of the point.

So = if you like Romero, I think you'll love LOD.

Now THAT one went right up on my favorites list. I think I'm going to see it again this weekend..you should hike it over to Missouri and join me :)

how long you got for both?

Land of The Dead Sept 9th, which seams like ages.

Devils Rejects August 5th, so not too long for that one.

I liked this film alot untill i remembered.."whoa, this is the same guy that directed Notld, dawn of the dead, and day of the dead ( along with many others ) And when i finally got that into my head the film took a big downfall for me. I just expect so much from George Romero, and this film didnt cut it for me compared to his others. Im just glad he didnt tottaly hold off on all the red stuff.

Blah...why do some people worry so much about the director? Yes, I know some directors are just plain better than others, but I look more at the ACTUAL MOVIE. In fact, I don't look MORE at the movie, that's ALL I friggin care about.

Just stick with that , it was a fun movie....you know it. :)

Good point

When someone makes a great film it's not fair to expect them to recreate it everytime they come out with something new. Take Martin Scorsese for example who's a far better director than Romero, you cant sit down to watch a new Scorsese film expecting to see Taxi Driver everytime because odds are you're going to be disappointed.

a director is like a painter ... the better ones have an identifiable
style and standards they set ...

i pay a lot of attention to who the director so I can identify their other works should they end up being good at what they do ...

I'm not saying don't pay attention to who the director is, I was saying you shouldn't expect to see Night of the Living Dead everytime you see Romero's name.

I like Romero. I think he's a very creative, analytical, frightening artist. However, I think LOTD was horrible. There wasn't any horror to it. The zombies could have been any fearsome creature. You could have replaced them with aliens or bears. What I like in a zombie movie is fear and the fear should be distinctly of zombies.

Think of NOTLD...the claustrophobia, the characters having to deal with the walking dead, and why? Think of each character as an archetype, Ben, the hero-and ultimately the victim of "the good-guys," Barbara- a very tragic hysterical female (bad archetype if you're a feminist, but it was the 60's) etc etc.

That movie had so much more...flavor...to it.

LOTD was a total disapointment.

Huff...I don't get all of this using LOTD and disapointment in the same sentance. (<----'cept that one) But hey, not everyone likes the same things.
AMK, you should just see it for yourself...Just don't get all hyped because it's a Romero flick, and don't go in expecting crap, and you should have fun with it. It's not a real serious horror...to me, it's funny, gorey, and a little sad....kinda makes you think.

i downloaded land of the dead and devils rejects on limewire.
sandyx

I thought land of the dead was good a bit dif from the usual zombie movies,
and the devils rejects was okay.

Land of the Dead was great.

To my personal opinion dawn of the dead is good and 28 days later ( even though its not a zombie movie) is good but i think the best zombie movie is resident evil as it the most realisc ( if there waz a zombie out break!):D

I'm pretty convinced now that you're just being silly.

this guys profile says 1970 :confused:

I don't want to be mean, but this guy sounds like one of those dangerously stupid people. You know, one of those people that murders small animals and laughs gleefully like an idiot.

Save us!

Yeah - that's sick - I always sob quietly as I slaughter the small animals (of course then I do a little dance!!!) :eek:

Hmmm - but why so harsh on this?

Different generations latch onto different films - the paranoia sci-fi films of the 50's, the grindhouse exploitation of the 70's, the post-modern clever stuff of the 90's... what's wrong with having the latest wave of zombie films as your horror cornerstones?

One man's Texas Chain Saw Massacre is another man's Resident Evil - you can draw artistic comparison if you're older, but I still get a semi-on when the superb Escape From Witch Mountain comes on TV and won't have anyone tell me different despite the fact that the recent Angry Anal #49 might be a "better" film.

Of course if you're born in 1970, you could just have very bad taste.

:D

Well, I personally loved the subtext of class struggle in Angry Anal #49 - but when they introduced the dog in #50 . . . well I just felt like they'd sold out. And don't get me started about the product placements in #51 . . .:rolleyes:

Not sure if we're talking about the same Angry Anals here.

In mine, folk just get fucked up the arse.

oh, like the place where i used to work ?

actually - despite the obvious mental shortcomings of this individual - if you were to base a film on 'realistic content' i guess i could see how someone could appreciate that a lab would come up with something to start an undead holocaust rather than 'something from space'

not sure why people bash '28 days later' either - it's a fine film.

sucked big let down

I thought it was great. Hands down the best horror movie Ive seen in theatres, although that only puts it against Boogeyman and the new Amittyville:rolleyes:. I personally thought it was a really fun movie...my thoughts basically reflect any opf the positive comments here:)
