Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 One of the best zombie films ever made (one of Romero's favorites, actually), and just, all-around, a great movie. Only romantic comedy I'm not sickened by, and there's enough bloodshed and gore and slapstick to keep most people entertained. Also, pay attention to the movie before ANY zombies show up. Half of the dialogue is repeated later in the film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Just because the movie calls itself "A Romantic Comedy With Zombies" doesn't make it so. It's pretty much a straight-up Comedy/Horror flick with a weak romantic sideplot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2006 I'm a bit biased, but...have you seen Land of the Dead? It's about 10 times better than that, at least. Everything is played straight, but the situations and the way it is directed is damn hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DKnez Report post Posted February 3, 2006 thanks guys for the advice, i ended up buying it and watched earlier today. It had its moments and i thought it was pretty good if not a little overrated. 7.5/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anorak 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2006 Buy the DVD and love it, then go region-free and buy the entire Spaced series. That's a great suggestion. Spaced was an excellent show. There was only 14 episodes (two series of 7 each) of Spaced ever made so it's not like you'd have to fork out for a massive box set or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuna_Firerose 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2006 Started to watch it, yet the accents were too hard to understand. And I'm usually all for accents, particuraly of the British sort -- huge fan of 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie' and 'Jeeves and Wooster'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2006 Only romantic comedy I'm not sickened by Have you seen Braindead / Dead-Alive? That movie, IMO, is at least as funny as Shaun, and has a much better romantic element. Definitely the original romantic comedy with zombies. Plus it's absurdly gory. Actually, it may sickening for other reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen any of Peter Jackson's earlier work, or Father McGruder: Kicking Ass for the Lord, the Nazi Vetrinarian, or the intestines that refuse to die. "Party's over" is completely lost on me.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 Watch paint dry is 10 times better than Land of the Dead. Hell no. Dennis Hopper + Eugene Clark as Big Daddy + Dead Reckoning + some great makeup and gore + a machete-wielding zombie Savini made it well worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 Land gets shat on far too much. FAR, far too much. The symbolism in it, the cameos, and the zombie-munching fun that are lost in pretty much every non-Romero zombie flick that matters in the least make it worth watching. That, and Leguizamo fucking rules in every movie he's in. And Asia Argento is hot. Plus it beats the shit out of Day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 I like Land a hell of a lot more these days since I picked up the DVD. Although I like Dawn and Day quite a lot, Night has aged horribly. The rules it layed out, the imitators and sequels it spawned are hard to separate from the film itself. I watched the Land commentary, and Hopper brought a lot of great ideas to his character. The scene where Chulo offers him a drink (and he then ignores it and pours his own), as well as when he is trying to make his escape and warns that guy to GET DOWN (before shooting him in the head) were Hopper's little contributions. When I first saw it the symbolism seemed beat-you-over-the-head annoying. Now it doesn't seem quite so much, although it has a few groan-worthy moments.
