Thread: The new "Land of The Dead" movie

Tweet

Personally, I tend like the older "Dawn of the Dead" movies better but I think this new release entitled "Land of The Dead" will out-shine the boxoffice charts this Summer.

The only thing I really don't want to see the movie turn out to be, is a "Resident Evil" type atmosphere. It would need to be equally or better than the first movie ever was in order to peak my interest really really high.

I heard that, DeathMask! I'm really bunched at them because the absence of Ving Rhames in this next one signifies that, that gorgeous hunk of man was either eaten, or turned into a zombie. But, that's okay...I'll settle for a shot-gun wedding. Just don't shoot him in the head, okay.....

I really loved the original B&W, but the next two bored me to death long before they got to the good stuff. I realize that older horror movies like to build tension, a la The Shining, but the Dead movies just didn't do it for me. I'm expecting LOTD to be something closer to the Dawn remake.

I saw it last night and wasn't too crazy about it. The original had suspense and was somewhat scary. Maybe, there's not much you can do with zombie movies anymore.

I saw the movie last week. I really liked it. Maybe I'm being partial since I live in Pittsburgh, and this is where George Romero lives. I do think that the movie could have been longer, but I suppose the studio wanted to keep the movie short. I'm hoping for more footage when the DVD comes out this fall. It would have been interesting to see more development of the society's class structure, namely the rich people who live in Fiddler's Green.

Yeah I saw how short it was too and it kind of turned me off to it. So the hubby and I went to see Batman Begins. We might give it a try this coming weekend. But I do agree with you there that is HAS to be equal or better to the original for me to look at it twice. Horror movies are getting so pointless and stupid lately I am about to give up on them and just watch old horror movies that I KNOW are good instead of watching new ones.

When it comes to the length of a movie I hate it more when you sit there for 2 hours and when it is done they could have told the story in and hour 15.

To Quote the master Alfred Hitchcock " The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder."

Greetings fellow Pittsburgher! Well actually I'm from Kittanning, but thats close enough.

Welcome!
