I wrote a song about how much I look forward to this film.
I call it "Zombies are Bad Ass"
I quite like the zombies
I know it's not that cool
Everyone should like zombies
Unless they be a fool
Zombies are these dead dudes
Who want to eat your face
Better than shitty vampire guys
Who need invites to your place
The world is full of zombies, man
Your sister or your dad
Will rip your fucking head off, yeah
Because zombies, they so bad
You know them zombies, they so bad
They are like, dead men walking
They rot and bits drop off
They lurch like, really evily
And on your guts they scoff
And zombies must be hungry
They never do get bored
Of chewing on your insides
Damn that evil zombie horde
The world is full of zombies, man
Your sister or your dad
Will rip your fucking head off, yeah
Because zombies, they so bad
Because zombies, they so bad
[disclaimer]It's not a real song, I'm not that stupid[/disclaimer]
you mistake me for someone who gives a fuck |

Yeah I forgot to tell Kitty about those 'Make Zombies History' wristbands. I got one myself the next day. Wearing it with pride I was. Death to all zombies.

Ah Denis, I understand. I'll be going to see it solo because I'm surrounded by heathens, and those who would come to see it with me are the sort who would try to talk in the middle of the film, you know the types...
Is he dead?
Who's he?
Why they doing that?
shut up and watch the fucking film people!
But I still have hopes for this film. I've purposely tried to keep away from the hype and the reviews because I want to appreciate it for what it is. Zombie films may not be everyones cup of tea but lets be honest, those people are fools. |

I love Zombie movies. NOTLD and Dawn of the Dead being favorites. I also really enjoyed Return of the Living Dead (funny "punk" zombie flick from the eighties) and I loved Shaun of The Dead (when they started hucking carefully selected old LPs at the shambling horrors I was in tears). Haven't seen the new one yet though. I really find Vampire movies monumentally boring... |

Cool. I was wondering why we hadn't talked more about the movie. It got universal acclaim from the critics in France (there's a daily newspaper - Liberation - which put it on the full front page on release day) and I think it did well. I had to see it alone cause my wife hates zombie movies. Now maybe I'm not the greatest expert (I still haven't seen Dawn and Day) but I was impressed. "Zombies, man. They creep me out!"

This thread has come back to life and it's hungry for human FLESH!
Seriously. What's with all the bashing? I thought LOTD was excellent. Full of great ideas, great performances by Hopper and Leguizamo... Maybe people were disappointed because they expected a scarier movie? It wasn't scary but that wasn't the point IMO.
Tre, what did you think of it?

I was very disappointed by Land of the Dead. I couldn't get into any of the characters and didn't really like the situation they were in. I prefer people having to fortify themselves and interact with each other, often in a not-so-friendly manner, while fighting off zombies at the same time.
One thing about Land of the Dead that I thought was cool was that they had a main zombie that we ended up siding with and symphatizing with. That was about it, though. I thought that 28 Days Later (I know they aren't zombies but close enough) and the remake of Dawn of the Dead were far batter than Land. I need to see Shaun of the Dead

Vampire's Kiss was a strange film indeed - a metaphorical black comedy about addiction, pretty much.
John Carpenter's Vampires...I would lump that in the same stinking pile of crap as Dracula 2000. A horrendous disgrace to the genre. Vampsploitation, if you will {: |

There's a great black comedy called Vampire's Kiss made in '89 with Nicholas Cage. It's very weird. And great.

Well I went to see it last night.
Ack, I wasn't impressed, I built it up too much in my head I think.
I know these movies don't have very much plot but this one was yawn.
And not quite enough actual zombie violence.

Meet the Feebles is the one with the puppets right? Haven't seen that all the way through. I can't wait for Land of the Dead it will probably be the first movie in ages I'll go see on opening night.

Its the nightmare on elm st house, a cabin at camp crystal lake and the leatherface's house.

The campy crappy splatter schlock horror comedy horror films are excellent, I love them, the evil dead trilogy is just cinematic gold, yes all of them, from the first 'serious' one, to the comedy remake to the pure joy of the utterly camp army of darkness. Brucey C is perfect 'B movie' fodder and has the bulgy eyes for the films as well, his scared face slays me.
Then the Jackson films, Bad Taste, the way it was made, is so impressive, and the film is hilarious, ditto Brain dead.
And films like basket case, just gold to me, there's not enough I say.

I was so frightened of the dead as a boy. The first dead person I saw was a great uncle of mine. This was at his funeral and I was 8 nearing 9. We were in the funeral chapel, which looked literally like something out of a horror movie. There were rows of pews, it was dark (except for the eerie candle light), and an old lady played the organ in the corner behind the scary flower arrangement...and dead (no pun intended) center was the casket holding Uncle Walter! I could see his profile illuminated with a greenish hue. That was it! I knew he was gonna come alive and get us! My grandfather grabbed my hand and forced me down the aisle to get a better glimpse of the evil corpse. I fought with fear, squirming in my grandfathers grasp. My grandfather wouldn't have any of my shenanigans and ordered me to straighten up. We got to the casket. Horror froze my tender boyish veins. Well, boy veins, not 'boyish' as I am...was...a boy, not a girl. I just wanted to clear that up. Anyway, I came face to face with the dead body of which I was certain would turn this funeral into a fiasco of death. It looked horrible. It looked dead. After I managed to make it through the chapel service, we all had to file past the coffin for "one last look". This was when I knew it would rise and feast. But Uncle Walter remained dead. Next we had to drive in a processional to the local cemetery. Once we were there, we all reconviened at the gravesite for more heartstopping terror...just more chances for the corpse to revive! I just wanted to leave! The minister then invited us to bow our heads to pray. Fat chance at that, buddy! No way in HELL was I gonna take my eyes off that coffin! I knew the thing within was just waiting to seize a moment like a prayer when everyones guard was down!
The casket was perched over the 6 foot deep hole on a lowering mechanism, and the top was adorned with a huge arrangement of flowers. Elastic straps ran over the top of the casket (under the floral arrangemnt) which kept it harnessed to the elevating contraption. Well, while we were praying and my eyes were pinned to the coffin just waiting for it to open, something happened...Uncle Walter really did start to open the lid from within! The dead really was coming back to life and trying deperatley to escape in a famished rage! Where would I run?! Certainly this would trigger hands to begin popping up from the soil to grab me! I was doomed!!!
What had really happened was that one of the elastic bands strapped to the coffin had for some reason or another snapped, causing flowers to fly into the air and a loud 'thud' as it slapped the side of the body box. My tender boyish heart leaped into my throat, and I took a good 4 foot jump backwards. Alas, no evil Uncle Walter. This event in my life did nothing, however, but reinforce my dread of the dead. After the funeral we all went and ate lunch at Denny's.

Carolyn-
I agree that supernatural-type films are my favorite. The Exorcist has got to be one of my favorite horror flicks of all time. I also dug The Ring a lot the first time I saw it. There's an awful lot of cheese to sift through, but I have to admit that I get some kind of amusement out of campy, crappy horror flicks sometimes. Or campy yet really good horror flicks like Evil Dead. or Dead Alive!
Zombies are definitely freaky though...there is something viscerally unnerving about seeing corpses slowly move then come to life, especially if they hunger for human body parts. |

Hahaha, me too. More so with zombie films than with any other horror genre. I think it's because the people in them are so bloody stupid at times. Plus the situation is a challenge I would kind of relish in a perverse way.
