Watched it yesterday evening, and i just wanted to know what other People think about the Remake in comparison to the Original Version.
In my opinion its a great remake of this Romero Classic Zombie movie, but some sequences could't mess with the original film. For shure the whole film looks newer, more Blood and Gore, Actionsequences, more about characters, etc.....
But i think that in some ways the fear (as i felt looking the original one) is missing....the original movie with flash eating Zombies and slow walking hordes of them was just more frightening than the remake.....but tell me what do you think about it ?
ps. anybody knows if they used the old shopping mall from the original movie ??

Behind the scenes, production designer Andrew Neskoromny does a coldly effective job in dressing a slated-for-demolition Toronto mall that has been ideally framed by cinematographer Matthew Leonetti's grimly grainy lenswork.

Since when could zombies run fast? It makes the whole zombie fucking genre a joke. ZOMBIES ARE SLOW. THEY'RE DEAD. DEAD SLOW!

i agree - zombies should be slow.
this new version was very stylized and "hollywood". i prefer the original by far.

i think it's dope.
but i haven't seen the original recently enough to compare them.
but as a stand-alone action horror flick, it is damn good.

most of these zombies haven't been dead long, and since there is no exploration of zombie biology in this film, there is no good reason why they can't be fast. i think fast moving zombies are more exciting. like when that fat old woman zombie leaps out of bed and attcks, it was scarry because that was like a dead linebacker attacking you. it makes it harder to get away.
anyway, i thought fast moving zombies was a great change to revitalize a "dead" genre.
yuk yuk yuk.

although they weren't zombies technically, this idea kind of had already been done in "28 days later".

hmmm... i am actually reluctant to see this, since i highly enjoy the Romero original and can not believe that a modern-day remake would do it justice. I just like the original, so I'll pass on this one.
But I do need to see "28 Days Later."

It's all the rage to sort of speed up the movements of zombies lately... we saw it in the Resident Evil Remake (Crimson Head Zombies), the new Dawn of the Dead, and the upcoming Resident Evil 4 (they're not really zombies, but close enough).
Frankly, I find it horrifying... the only advantage we have on the fuckers, gone.
Dawn of the New Dead is OK, but I didn't get the same fun feeling I got while watching the first one. The Zombies weren't even that scary in the first Dawn of the Dead... and Romero knew it. It's a blast killing those things.

I agree, the zombies weren't that scary in the original anyway.
the scary thing was much more how the whole of society was collapsing (and the survivors not coping with it very well), people you know/love suddenly turning on you.
"28 days later" takes the same themes and does a pretty good job too.

if you want to enjoy it, i'd suggest that you watch it totally openminded and not make any comparison's to the original. just watch it knowing that it is a pretty good action shooter type movie. and in the unedited version coming out, there ARE zombie tits, if that's your thing.

yeh, so far all i've heard is that the extra zombie sluts and such are on region 3 dvd. but i imagine it will make it to other region codes eventually.. i can't see why it wouldn't.
so you can probably count on getting to see sloppy zombie tits someday.

28 Days Later really reminded me of The Last Man on Earth, starring Vincent Price. Albeit way more fucking vicious.... in the Price movie, he sits around all night listening to jazz records while a bunch of (fairly intelligent) zombies try to break through his boarded windows... and then in the day, he goes around the empty city finding their hiding places and ramming stakes through their hearts.
The ending is pretty wild...

Yeah, it's a pretty neat, atmospheric movie. It's so '60s, kind of campy... but good. The ''zombies'' are afraid of their reflections, so Price's house is like a maze of mirrors (and garlic). I had no idea what it was, I just saw the title in Suprnova.org's horror section, and thought it sounded cool so I grabbed it.
