<<<<<I'm a Romero fan--Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (the
2004 remake is much different--ok, but much different feel)>>>>>



I LOVE that remake. I can take or leave Romero, but that remake was
fuckin' brilliant. The opening titles with Johnny Cash's Man Comes
Around, the first 10 minutes or so of non-stop action, the duel ending.
Fabulous. I was most impressed by something I thought was going to be
average. The speedy undead were far scarier.



I saw it on Sky Movies and then bought the DVD. However the DVD was
missing about 10 minutes of vital stuff. What a swizz. My favourite
bit was missing (a zombie with one arm comes speeding towards camera).



Cheers,

Janean

I'm a Romero fan--Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (the 2004
remake is much different--ok, but much different feel), Day of the Dead
(possibly the explic itly goriest movie ever made), and Land of the
Dead.
