It’s just my opinion that the last “Really good” zombie movie Romero made is “Day of the Dead.” (I sure many of you will disagree. Don’t worry it’s okay to be wrong… Please don’t kill me)
I saw this so long ago, seeing this trailer brings back such a wave of nostalgia for me that’s very akin to agony.
I love old horror movies. I’m not sure why I prefer them to today’s movies. Maybe it’s the sensibilities of the time they were made, but I can’t help it. They are great.
So after posting George Romero’s interview I decided I needed to check the reviews of this movie over at MetaCritic….
Yeah, …um …they are pretty bad. Currently standing at 43. That ain’t good kids.
Memorable quotes from Metacritic.
From Variety: Leslie Felperin Rated it 50
Steeped in fan-pleasing gore but woefully thin on ideas, originality (beyond new zombie-offing methods) or directorial flair.
The highest Rating:
From Time Out New York: Keith Uhlich Rated it 80
The tone this time out is primarily comic.
The lowest Rating
From New York Post Kyle Smith Rated it 25
I suppose it’s nice that Romero has a hobby, but he couldn’t be more of a bore if he were showing off his pine cone collection.
This does not please me…. I want better zombie movies than this.
An interesting interview with George Romero over his film career making “zombie movies” and his latest film “Survival of the Dead.”
(Sigh) George Romero’s line, “I almost don’t think of them as Zombie films.”
See, I agree. I almost don’t think of Your new films as zombie films either…. That’s not a good thing, George!!!
Why does that annoy me so much. Maybe because it’s the man who basically created the genre I love so much not taking the very subject matter seriously. If you want to make social and political statements, like Michael Moore, fine go do it. Make a documentary.
But if you want to make a good zombie movie, try harder to not make them suck.
I’m sure plenty of you out there disagree with me, but I am simply more underwhelmed with each new movie Romero makes…. And it annoys the crap out of me. They SHOULD be getting more awesome. But they’re not.
Looks like it was edited better than the crappy trailers I’ve seen before, but… meh. It’s still a movie with a premise that makes me gag, bad acting and weak special effects.
I’ll be honest I feel like I SHOULD like this movie but every thing I see about it makes me think…. “Suck.” I need to get a copy and watch it, either to exercise these feelings or have them confirmed.
