 Rated 5 out of 5!
THOSE WERE THE DAYS
The greatest concept and amazingly timeless. My "OWN IT" rating is a gurantee and here is more info for you: Sure you may look at the BLUE make-up on some Zombies and laugh, but just go with it and you’’ll be fine. The characters are all memorable, the "shopping spree" scenes are great (and this is what I mean when I mention actors that are believable, it’’s just what you would do in their position). After this movie, you know where zombie movies should have progressed to and never have. This movie is simply great. Rated 4 out of 5
Pretty Good...
If youre a fan of George Romero’’s work (Night of the Living Dead), then you will be pleased with this. While it doesn’’t match the classic "Night of the Living Dead" in greatnes, it still captures Romero’’s mastery of creating paranoia and despair. The image and sound quality is decent for a 70’’s movie, but not great. A good buy for a horror fan, but you should see Night of the Living Dead first.- Rated 5 out of 5!
ROMERO’’S BEST
This is undoubtedly Romero at his best.
Taking the same premise from his 1968 classic, Night of the Living Dead, Romero takes it a step further. Zombies are returning to life.
Four people who include two Philadelphia SWAT team members and a couple from a tv station hijack a helicopter to escape the martial law implemented to stop the zombies. They shack-up in a shopping mall and clear out the living dead for themselves.
The unknown actors give far better performances than the predecessors in Night of the Living Dead, and they have a better script.
Materialism dullens their sense of survival. Conscience erodes as they snipe zombies. The living dead wander aimlessly in the mall, looking for lost meaning in forgotten memories of consumerism. Can we stop them? At the rate we kill?
This is truly the thinking-man’’s horror film.
Watch for cameos by special-affects make-up artist, Tom Savini!
Excellent. I look forward to Romero’’s next endeavor.
