DAMMIT!!! that film is good! and it STAYS good!!! (sorry to hear they're doing a remake.. :( ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm hoping it might turn out to be a decent flick, if it is similar in any shape or form to resident evil than i shall bring a bag of pure disgust. |
||||||||

well, what I've read, it SUXX except the ending, which would be spectacular. yes. but NO! this thread is about the Romero Dawn of the Dead!! and the loveliness there of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Romero is brilliant, love his stuff, i recently saw a doco on him. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Romero is a brilliant director, the film rules! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I think this movie was great... perhaps too long though (I watched Romero's directors cut)... but very good. I don't think the remake will be better than the 1st one, but perhaps it can be 'nicer', e.g. having nicer photo. In a way I prefer "Day of the dead" because it is a more beatiful film... |

Night of the Living Dead was awsome when I first saw it. I've heard something about it being one of the first movies with a black lead actor...true? And the way it is filmed, in black and white and with the relatively closed set of almost only one house, was very dramatic to me. And the end...loved it. |
||||||||

Maybe the funnest movie I've ever seen, I'm still looking for the uncut version though. I do NOT want a remake... those horrid clothes, makeup and the Goblin soundtrack are part of the appeal. I wonder who'll star... Lawrence Fishburn? I loved Night of the Living Dead too... haven't seen the remake though. I didn't like Day of the Dead much... it had a nice setup, with the city overrun and nobody left, but there's too much characterization scenes under the ground and every darn character is an asshole! |

|
|
a REMAKE? Who is doing this remake? Who will be in it? WHEN will twilight of the dead be made ???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ving Rhames - the Sign of Quality. Sarah Polley is okay. ofcourse there is NO reason to do a remake though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice cast! Though I agree this is a pointless endeavor. But I like the actors at least. As long as its better than the Night of the Living Dead remake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm.. I hope this is gonna be good. I saw the Day of the Dead remake and it was as pointless as the remake of Psycho. At least there are some cameos from the original cast members which might point to it being treated with the respect it deserves. Also, the fact that only the mall is the same and most other aspects will be different might be a good thing.. Psycho anyone? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but WHY do a remake!? the original is brilliant! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe i WONDER if i'll get to see the remake before seeing the ORIGINAL as i can't seem to find it to RENT! bahhhhhh i wonder if the remake will suck just like the REMAKE shot for shot of psycho....remember that fiasco !?!? i love the movie poster tho....it's sooooo cool joak.....just so you know you're right about 'night of the living dead' having a lead black actor...romero was/is ahead of his time.....he's brilliant i recently saw 'night of the living dead' for sale on dvd.....i think i'm still to SCARED to buy it tho....ehehhe |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

seems like people are running out of ideas for films. now they are trying to cash in with remakes of older films. where's the creativity? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think 'hollywood' is ALL ABOUT the money they are afraid to try new things.....honestly it's the only answer cos there is so much to be explored out there....but some things are NOT considered bankable...... *show me the money syndrome* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

Dawn of the Dead is just plain classic.... i think i prefer Night... to Dawn... but still... just super |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

i've seen few good new films lately the hunted, the pianist, panic room |
||||||||
|
|

|

well i saw Dawn of Ze Dead tis weekend and i have to agree with Deadeight, i prefer Night of Ze Living Dead. i dunno the way the movie started was rather off putting. the first 20-30 minutes i didn't really care about the characters or what happened. and it certainly wasn't scary in the least. anyway AFTER the first part i got into the movie, but i'm glad i didn't buy the DVD so i could see this movie cos i woulda been selling it back. it was good but not the GREAT and original fim that Night was......so while i'm glad i saw it, i was seriously UNDERwhelmed. |

you are really silly. |

Dawn of the dead is by far the best. The only thing that I didnt like was (As dumb as this sounds) The blood color. It looked more like pink Play doh more then anything. The remake of night of the living dead isnt too bad. The main chick is wayyyy too un likable. Day of the dead is just awesome : ) |

"the first 20-30 minutes i didn't really care about the characters or what happened. and it certainly wasn't scary in the least" Well, I never thought these films were scary.. or ANY films. I'd be sorely disappointed if I expected to be scared by a film. Just the way I am: I like the genre but not because I am remotely scared. About the first 20-30 minutes: I'm not sure you're supposed to like many characters in the early part of any of the trilogy. Particularly for Dawn of the Dead, that period is more about throwing you into the deep end since it sets the scene of 'this is already an epidemic' kinda thingy. So you just see loads of hysterical persons running around.. and the fact they are not necessarily likeable goes to show how much more interesting his films are than your standard Hollywood fare. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to agree on that. I quite like that the characters aren't squeeky clean - they are pretty realistic. there's this "epidemic" so people become egocentric and want to save themselves. but I still empathize with the main characters simply because they show different angles of reaction to an epidemic like the one portrayed - so I kind of switch between characters. |

the movie just didn't engage me, at the start. it took a while to get 'into' it. for me i like movies that get you involved pretty soon after it starts, otherwise you're looking at your watch and wondering when it will be time to leave. after they got to the mall it started getting a lot more interesting. i like HORROR movies that SCARE me, even if just a lil......it's the rush of adrenaline that really gets you INTO the movie! |
||||||||
|

|
|
i just watched this again recently yup, still good :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's about as scary as a bunny rabbit, but it's still my favorite ''horror'' (quote-unquote) movie of all time. The whole mall-thing is like a fantasy, I'd love to take one over (minus the undead/bikers). I hated the start though, it was awkward and confusing... the whole apartment seige. Nice deaths though, Tom Savini is a keeper! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was just thinking that... its not scary at all... its... funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, just good campy fun. You're bound to be disapointed if you go into it expecting to be afraid or creeped out... totally different universe. Maybe Romero was feeling the pressure and felt he couldn't make something as unsettling or vital as Night of the Living Dead, so he took another approach. Because as great as Dawn is, it isn't exactly earthshattering. It would have been much harder for him to make another Night. |
||||||||

you know... ive only seen Night, once... aver 6 years ago... I dont even remember a single thing about it :-\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe jay i KNOW you like to be 'A SCARED' ehehhehe anyway.....yea it didn't match up to Night of Ze Living Dead Doods' which IMO was a masterpiece.....and scary to boot! *kick* |
||||||||
|

Even the molotov cocktails? The naked zombie? The really hot mom? The annoying and useless lead girl? The very intimidating black lead (first ever!)? The exploding truck? The dead person on the top of the stairs? The kid stabbing her mom? The cheesy news bulletins? That stuff is dang unforgettable! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
:'( no.... |

|
|

Did anyone ever play They Hunger mod for Half Life? "Mommy's hungry.." "Where are you? Ahh, THERE you are.." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah, I watched a film called Redneck Zombies last night. It was one of those so-bad-it's-good types except it wasn't.. not enough zombie action.. gotta have loads of zombie action.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the claustrofobicness of the film. and what I really love, but that's also in Night, all the news bulletins throughout. those do creep me out. the whole idea of this slow and moaning armageddon spreading and destroying humanity does indeed creep me out. |

I was just thinking, this thread is a bit like the living dead - it never really dies. :) |

|
|

ofcourse that last post was the shotgun shot blowing of most of this zombie thread's little head. |
