Horror thought of the day

[C-Desecration-]

I usually don't like mindlessly repetitive topics (other than my own), but what the hell. So you know those sections of newspapers, where some columnist gives their "(whatever) thought of the day". This is for your horror thought of a day. So, here I go:


Horror's on the mainstream decline.

[countchocula]

Peter Cushing is one of the most underrated actors of all time.

Cool topic, C-Des.

[X-Nightcrawler]

Remakes are generally superior to their originals.

Sorry if I threw you off with that one 'X'...couldnt be helped.

The posts by you and the count read like profound quotes like, 'He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword'...'Here today, gone tomorrow! It was a JOKE...you left the door open and I closed it...;) :p

Ok...(Cracks knuckles) If what you are relaying is true, then what does a comment like that say about the films being produced by the 'Major Studios'?

Is it the Remakes (ala 'Dawn of the Dead') add nausium? Is it the lack of invention on the part of the studio heads?

The corporate greed? Do they really give a damn?

Is it a combination of all of these things?

Damn good question dont you think?

[ComeNightfall]

If you're watching The Sci-Fi Channel and the credits for Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy appear, change the channel.

[syxxpac]

George Romero is God, so don't piss him off or he'll bring a plague of undead upon you and ROCK YOUR FACE OFF ON JUNE 24TH!!

Well since mainstream doesn't really seem to flinch as far as remakes are concerened (and remakes are some of the biggest bo totals), and. . .corporate greed doesn't, uh, really have anything to do with box office figures, so neither?
People are just getting bored with horror. Yes the movies make a profit, but compare the total grosses to when scream launched the uprise, when those flicks reached 100+ million. Now horror "hits" get about 40 million. Since The Ring no movie has penetrated the mainstream and lasted (I mean the build-up for ring 2 was good hype). Until we get another sixth sense, ring, whatever, I think the bo totals and mainstream interest will decline.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Halloween II is a fun flick.

[Hellraiser1124]

My Horror thought of the day is------

Bring Back 80's Horror

[zombievictim]

Paul Anderson should be shot for ruining so many movies!

[TheDeadWalk]

Halloween 2 is my favorite Halloween.

[X-Nightcrawler]

People who liked the theatrical cut of Haute Tension should find a way to see the uncut version.

[heavy!!!]

A blind, deaf and mentally retarded guinea pig could make a better film than Uwe Boll..........FACT!!!

[countchocula]

I need to watch Legend of the Werewolf.

[C-Desecration-]

I still don't know why Land of the Dead is being released when it is.

[TheJadedGamer]

Why the fuck did they....


**SPOILERS**

....kill off Randy Meeks in Scream 2? What the fuck? Destroy the whole series in one crushing blow to the nuts of all horror fans out there, huh?

[wheresdonnie?]

Paul WS Anderson and Uwe Boll should stop making movies.

[Inglorious]

They spend too much money on large-scale production shit horror films, and too much money on small-scale production shit horror films.

If they would put them together we could have a decent or better than decent horror film!

[X-Nightcrawler]

Mr. Peanut is a revolutionary.

:D

[Mentiroso]

Cursed would have been much better if it was about werewolves that kept tearing the shirt off of Christina Ricci and showing her naked boobs.

[IamNoOne666]

The Resident Evil movies are really bad movies, but not so bad if you just want to see hot chicks shot zombies.

Her Return of the Living Dead walking naked in the rain glory days are gone though..

Thanks. I'll be back next Thursday. Since I'll be gone, here are my thoughts for the next few days.

Friday ~ I love my Chucky doll.
Saturday ~ I Drink Your Blood is an entertaining b-movie.
Sunday ~ Dark Castle is to Hammer what fisting is to waving.
Monday ~ I recently bought Luther the Geek. It looks way cool.
Tuesday ~ I've yet to review a good horror film for my newspaper.
Wednesday ~ My 50" HDTV doesn't handle videotapes so well. You'd think it would be a perfect TV set, but it's not (it's still neat, though).

[EvilDeadGirl]

They should have put out a better boxset for the Friday the 13th Flicks. Man what a rip.

Weird, I thought it was a cool set. It had nice extras, I mean the best of the films have commentaries, and you get your usual making offs and the such. Whats not to like?

I really enjoyed listening to the director of part 6. I wish they gave that dude more horror movies.

[XCoRyX]

im taking a throw at this thought of the day deal horror-style...

My thought(s)-

Land of The Dead, I thank you for helping me make my much-needed and anticipated return to the movie theatres...first time since August i've hit up a movie theatre...i guess paying to see Aliens vs Predator would do that though :).

And my final thought? Can't wait to go to Monster-Mania 4 this august...

[poopontheshoes7]

My thought: Just slam Chucky against a wall or something, it'll shut him up for a while.

[Ratlehed]

I need House of Long Shadows on Dvd. Stars Vincent Price, Chistopher Lee, and Peter Cushing.

Either way:

I loved the use of "Seizure Of Power" in the Land Of The Dead trailer.

Why are the giallos so hard to find in my country ?

I don't buy through the internet and my dvd player in zone 2,so that's very hard to buy giallos.

Silent Hill should be excellent. I mean excellent-excellent, like. . .
Like okay, imagine a lemon. So it tastes really good, right? It tastes really good. But if it was a little fresher it's taste really really good, like some kind of garden of eden fruit, okay. Now imagine if it were even better than that, then it would be excellent. Now imagine the tree that would bear that fruit, right, and imagine how excellent it must be to have all these excellent lemons. Then imagine the field where that tree grew and the surrounding countryside, imagine that it has dozens of these trees planted everywhere, just as excellent as the other excellent lemon tree. Imagine how much excellence that place has.
Like that.

Or I just hope it doesn't suck, whatever.

I could've, it's just, I don't speak misspelled text.

But seriosly, I'd like to see less supernatural horror and more real-life stuff coming up. Just no more serial killers. Something like 8mm or taxi driver.

Seriously C have you ever seen 'Henry': Portrait of a serial Killer?

I know that you said 'No more serial killers'...But this film has a stark naturalistic style that is must see, with Michael Rooker as the lead. It is filmed in a way that feels all to real, disturbing, haunting and unforgettable...a great film worth seeing. :eek:

[zombievictim]

Here, Here *holds up beer*

[C-Desecration-]

You know I caught bundy, and I remember liking it, but the whole morals of the film were completely backwards, and I just wasn't a fan of what the movie did. Actually, I mentioned it on the boards, I think. . .was that you deadone? Some schmoe (or two) recommended Henry in this serial killer bioptic conversation, or something. I only vaguely remember.
But I do think I checked for henry, I'm just not sure if the blockbusters around my parts carry henry. I'll look around into a few more stores.
Actually, I live in a different city now then whenever I last checked, so what the hell. It's a lazy monday night. I'll head to the local store later and give it a looksee.

[the dead one]

Hey guys (X-DES-Zombie) whats up?

Just wanted to stop in real quick, first to address the 'C' man. I know what you mean about the 'Bundy' film, I happened to be surfing the pay channels late one night and quite by accident came across 'Bundy' on HBO.

I remember that it was part of this sudden onslaught of fast buck direct to video cash ins taking up shelf space at 'Hollywood and Blockbuster Video' along with 'Dahmer' and 'Ed Gein'...both eqauly pathetic pointless exploitation.

The 'Bundy' film was some sick twisted shit, it seem to jump from one depraved scene to the next, having sex with his female victims after killing them...he even demands that his wife to act like she is dead while fucking her too.

The irony on the part of the filmmakers is the closing moments of the film as he is being readied for execution, trying to somehow make the audience feel sorry for him. WTF?



Anyway 'C'...If you do check out 'Henry' P.O.A.S.K let me know your take on the film, trust me, unlike the DTV so-called serial killer flicks, Henry is a thinking mans film...you wont be disappointed.


Oh and zombievictim meet me at the pub...1st rounds on me!;)

Today I heard on the radio about a wild thing. It seems that reanimator is becoming a reality. Sientists are experimenting with taking a dog, draning the blood and replacing it will saline solution letting the dog be dead for three hours and then putting the blood back in and scoking the dog back to life. So far the dogs come back fine but wow talk about Franenweenie becoming a reality.

'Millennium' is with out a doubt the greatest series to hit the ariwaves in decades. A topical and disturbing show that was maybe just a bit too intense for the average television viewer.

Originally posted by poopontheshoes7

But then it had been too long since I had seen the movie. Now that I've rewatched it (what a gory frickin' movie), it only reinforced that opinion. The film has a fantastic concept, an interesting universe, great characters but suffers of terrible visual effects and some uh . . . well, some of the gore looked terrible. Still, scary as hell. I think a remake would make it great. But again, that's only because I don't understand the hatred towards remakes.

[poopontheshoes7]

No, I dont totally hate remakes. Hellraiser just doesnt have a remake friendly premise. It would feel like a sequel imo. Because the first one is so original a remake would feel a little ho hum.

[countchocula]

The Hellraiser series needs to die a slow, painful death. It needs to be torn apart by chains a la Frank. No more sequels, no remake, no Pinhead bobbleheads, no nothing.

[poopontheshoes7]

Heeey. I have a Pinhead bobblehead!
No I dont but I do have a 18' talking Pinhead.

[Duke Nukem]

It's kind of funny, I just rented four of the "Hellraiser" movies this week as homework for my "Helloween" episode of my "Horror Talk" series.

The original movie...is so great and special in its own way that I think it would be blasphemy to remake it. Sure, not all the gory special effects were not that convincing, but when you consider all hard work Clive Barker, the great cast the rest of the film crew put into the film, especially for a low-budget film, "Hellraiser" is pretty damn good. Honestly, if they remade, gave it the extra budget and made it "shinier" to watch...it would lack the raw edge that made it so great. Really, I don't think the movie is that hard to follow, even with some of those "special" effects. The film is great, with or without it.

The sequel "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" is just as good. It's one of those rare sequels that actually builds up from the last movie and doesn't just rehash everything from before. After Kirstie dealt with Pinhead and his "crew" before in reality, she was now facing him in Hell! What a great sequel, it is so cool, even if its slightly less serious then the last movie. And, the backstory we learn on Pinhead! I thought this was one of the best sequels that can follow after a classic original.

The video store didn't carry the UNDERRATED "Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth," so I had to go on continue up with "Hellraiser: Bloodline." I have such an odd history with this film. I first saw it on TV when I was younger and hated it (and I don't think it was because it edited for TV either). Then, I rented it a couple years ago for homework for one of my earlier "Horror Talk" episodes when I was first introducing the Pinhead's character.

It was a little better, but it was still flawed. And, here I am watching this week...and I really like it now! Talk about a films having to grow on you. They way tried to deal with the origins of the puzzle box...I now think its extremely well done. The "past" times in victorian times or something...refreshing! The "present time" segment with the Bruce Ramsey character creating the puzzle box building or something...effective. And even the "future" segment in space...so what if it was in space, the space station turning literally turning into a puzzle box and defeating Pinhead...such a fitting end to Pinhead! Bravo! Now, if only Dimension would make the unrated DVD with the original cut by Kevin Yagher, not "Alan Smithee"...

I also rented the new "Hellraiser: Deader"...a pleasant surprise to me. With this film, they re-incorporate the "toy maker" storyline from "Hellraiser: Bloodline" with the cult leader being another ancestor of Bruce Ramsey character. I liked that. But, you know what sucks, the DVD was freezing right at the very end! Right at the climactic when you-know-who faced up against you-know-who and did you-know-what, I didn't see anything beyond that. I still get what happened, but to not officially know what happens at the very end before the credits sucks! Still a good "Hellraiser" film.

You know, I think these latest "Hellraiser" films are getting a lot of flack for featuring less "Hellraiser" elements and I don't think its fair. They aren't really direct sequels to "Bloodline," they are just other "Hellraiser" stories that happened before Pinhead ultimate demise in H4. These different stories and the way they give them a "Hellraiser" approach are clever...except with "Hellseeker." All that was, was "Memento" combined with "Hellraiser" and it was so blah. "Inferno" was great. I don't care, there was enough "Hellraiser" elements in that. And the "Hellraiser" elements worked perfectly with the "Deader" plot.

Who said Rosie was the only other option? I'm looking straight at EvilDeadGirl. :D

[poopontheshoes7]

Ok, Count she would obviously go for me, since I live in Florida and all, and olny like a halk an hours drive away. North Carolina aint gonna cut friend.

Thought: Amittyvile Horror 05 was way better than the original.

[EvilDeadGirl]

LOL@Poop an Count. Aww luv ya both. ;) Now there is no need for pushing and shoving as there is plenty of stalker space to go around. ;) Hehe.

SPOILERS FOR DAY OF THE DEAD AND LAND OF THE DEAD BELOW.




Oh and after watching Land of the Dead for the second time I noticed the music whenever they showed Big Daddy realizing something new. Its the same music from Day of the Dead after Bub shoots Capt Rhodes.

[poopontheshoes7]

Yeah, I noticed The Day of the Dead music also. I was waiting for someone to talk about it.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Thought that was awesome the way that they did that. God I love good ole' George.

[poopontheshoes7]

Everybody loves George. he's like our Grandpa or something.

Dawn Of The Dead (78) is one of the most overrated movies ever.

[aixela]

Now I put in the DVD
And pray that I will not weep
I hope this movie will not suck
But Arrow will like it if girls f**k
And if it is a remake
PLease let it keep me awake
Here is to hoping for a good story
And as a bonus, please be gorey

Here is to all horror fans who never lose faith in the genre:o

[C-Desecration-]

Cannibal Holocaust was great. Anyone who thinks it, I don't know, sucked ass, obviously didn't understand what the movie was trying to say.
See, they ate people because they were cannibals.

[Duke Nukem]

Yes, "Batman Begins" is a complete restart of the Batman franchise. In Tim Burton's original "Batman," the people of Gotham city were freaked out by the mysterious Batman sightings and by the end of the movie, they knew he was a hero and the commisioner had the bat signal. Well, "Batman Begins" did all that over again and much better. They could even use the Joker in the next film if they wanted and it wouldn't matter.

I watch a lot of obscure stuff, but I'm going to try to lean toward "popular" horror films. Getting lost in z-grade trash can dilute one's interest in the genre. That sounds weird, but it applies to me.

How come every time a horror movie comes out that isn't very successful at the box office, some yankee doodle posts a huge explanation on the site telling us that wait, wait, it's okay, it didn't really dissapoint, no, if you look at it this way, see. . .

If you're talking about The Devil's Rejects, it didn't disappoint. It had a higher per-screen average than both The Island and Bad News Bears.

[C-Desecration-]

The Island and Bad News Bears


Neither of which were successes, the island especially bombing terribly. And I know rejects didn't bomb, not at all. But it didn't do great.
And not just with rejects, there was the exact same article with the last horror movie that came out, Land of the Dead, when it didn't exactly do so hot (again, Land didn't bomb, but it definitely didn't do extremely well).
Maybe it's just arrow's version of box office, but if not, what is it? It's a little odd. So what's the deal? Are we going to see yet another section saying the exact same thing if Skeleton key doesn't go over that well at the BO?

[countchocula]

Well, in my opinion, Land tanked. It should have been released in October.

Horror thought of the day:

Listening to the Fantomas album "Delirium Cordia" is scarier than ANY horror film could ever be. LOL!

seriously though - if you don't already own it, purchase that album from your local entertainment store - then go home, go to your room, turn off the lights, light a few candles (scented are nice), grab that bottle of baby oil and rub it.....WOOPS! sorry......i mean um..wrong daydream.

anyway - light those candles, turn on the CD and just immerse yourself in the music. you'll love it, i guarantee!:D

[EvilDeadGirl]

The Evil Dead commentaries are some of the funniest out there. :)

Delirium Cordia is a great record to have on in the background. I wish that Mike Patton would start singing songs again, though.

I didn't leave my toothbrush; I left my semen. I was looking for it earlier, but then I remembered that I left it in your sink.

Has anyone been to Cracker Barrel lately? They already have Halloween merchandise out, and I spotted Universal horror shirts that I've never seen before. Designs on display were Dracula, Frankenstein, The Creature From the Black Lagoon, and Curse of the Mummy. I bought Mummy, which I'm sporting right now.

Ewww,Count.

2 days later,I still feel that Red Riding Hood is the worst piece of garbage on this planet.

If you pull that "I hate it, but I-I respect it for what it did!" line one more time I'm going to strangle you with fishing line.

That said, I fianlly caught that henry flick. The look and audio on that movie was pretty poor, and not gritty documentary style but more educational commercial style, but it was still all right. And the videotape scene made me feel light in the stomach. . . which is odd. . .the media was supposed to have desensitized me by now.

Anyways, anyways, horror thought of the day. . . well okay, I still hope silent hill turns out great.

I'm here to pop my horror thought of the day cherry.

Here goes.

[countchocula]

Is there anything specific that you're looking for? I could help you track it down.

[the dead one]

This isnt a "Horror Thought" really...just something that needs to be stated regarding the perplexing situation with the box office receipts this summer.

For the record and according to industry news: The studios have been whining about a lack of (the usual) big ticket sales during this season of "Summer Blockbusters".

Perhaps its the economy??? Maybe its the lackluster non-stop remakes??? Or perhaps...just perhaps, it really is a matter of quantity over quality.

I firmly beleive that when the time comes and the major coporately run studios drive the genre into the ground, they will abandon 'Horror Films' and place blame on a lack of interest due to low box office sales....placing blame natch' on the audience themsleves.

I can see thier bullshit headlines on the so-called entertainment news shows: 'Horror is anemic at Box Office'

Refusing to take any REAL responsibility for their own lack of creative alternatives and REAL invention....sadly.

[Shockwave]

..i just realized that for the first time in years, not one horror movie has made my top 5 for the year. (Land and Constantine were great, but no cigar)

..and that saddens me. Could Doom, The Fog, or Emily Rose turn things around? I sure as hell hope so.

[the dead one]

Saw the trailer for "the Fog"...(sigh)

Jesus Christ, Give me a fucking break...It was Pathetic,trite, cliche' generic gloss...

Why do these talentless fucking assholes persist on pulling shit like this?:mad:

[Shockwave]

I agree, i got the feeling that the Fog is going to be more flash then substance, which is about the reverse of the original.

Doom still looks like a untra-violent, non-stop thrill ride to me however, and Emily Rose was oozing quality if were just judging the trailer.

Does Silent Hill come out this year?

The shop doesnt cost anything to open, and then you buy it from the shop you've just created lol. You can choose in t shirt or whatever apparel you prefer, for females or males

Gald to see I'm not alone regarding the respect such classic horror films like John Carpenters "The Fog", I mean for gods sake do they really need to remake every damned film in existence?

Lets say Hypothetically...maybe lets say 20 or so years down the road how are the current generation of filmgoers going to react when some director wants to remake...

"The Lord Of The Rings" Trilogy??


Silent Hill is slated for a 2006 release date, thankfully Sean Bean is part of the cast, this guy is underrated imho~

[the dead one]

Sorry computer glitch...

[X-Nightcrawler]

Silent Hill is going to rock . . . even if it has bullet time and Cybill jumping off walls and kicking demon dogs in midair.

Anyways . . . DragonBall Z/GT is THE most underrated anime series in existance.

Anyways . . . DragonBall Z/GT is THE most underrated anime series in existance.

Considering how popular the show is, i wouldnt call it underrated at all.

It would probably catch on better if Cartoon Network hadnt done such a shit job on dubbing and editing out all all the blood and swearing.:(

[C-Desecration-]

It is pretty interesting that so many high-profile movies bombed, sure, but it has nothing to do with originality, since the ones that weren't original, like charley and the chocolate factory, fantastic four, and batman begins, weren't bombs, whereas the 'original' flicks like Island and Stealth were, so that's a no go.

And dead, I'm almost positive lotr will be remade eventually. I thought they went downhill after the first one myself. But, I doubt anyone but the hardcore film fans will give a flying rin tin tin when they are. This generation of movie goers are not ticked about the remaking of old 'classics' (some of which aren't classics, but horror fans seem eager to slap that lable on anything, I mean the fog, terror train?) not because they weren't from that generation, but because the majority are pretty. . . flippant? about movies. I mean look around the boards, the only people that do care are the buffs, because even young sprites on these boards give thumbs down to remakes and seem just as angry as the old timers if they're really into movies. Don't you think so?
I'm also almost positive that the only reason the remakes and sequels keep coming are because they have thus far been profitable. Nothing to do with an idea-drought. I'm under the impression there are plenty of original scripts, but why finance those when you got a sure-fire hit in Batman 11?

And I just realized that nobody was really talking about originality, and just quality over quantity. Which I, I actually agree about. . .
. . .whoopsy daisey.

But yeah. American release of DBZ is terrible. The voices suck and all the cool stuff is edited out. They even trimmed key episodes instead of trimming the fillers. But here in the land of deserts and cactus, we got it complete and REALLY well dubbed (the only show I'd rather see dubbed than in Japanese). Viva el Mexico.

[countchocula]

I don't think that Dragonball Z should ever be mentioned on the horror boards. I'm sorry, but it sticks out like a sore thumb.

[The Claw]

I think Dragonball Z should be banned from being shown on television for the rest of time.

[KillerKlown]

Screw that. All copies of Dragonball Z should be taken to a dump and get a mob-style bullet in the head.

[C-Desecration-]

Dragon ball z isn't even horror. That's what I've been saying. So go somewhere else to discuss it and leave the schmoes to real horror movies, like bloodrayne.
So who thinks that's going to win an oscar. Anyone.

..so far ive only seen Constantine and Land of the Dead as far as good horror goes...and maybe War of the Worlds if that counts.

I cant even form a top 5 best horror movie list for the year because those are the only ones id say were good enough to even bother listing! :mad:

...ive been reduced to catching up on DVD and i gotta admit im grateful...due to the two utter GEMS ive watched of late..


Shadow of the Vampire and City of Lost Children are both 9/10 if not 10/10 movies for me, so im kinda grateful afterall.:cool:

A new Resident Evil Trilogy based on the RE4 game makes me want to dance...

..and without Anderson involved, or any of his idiotic story "contributions" to the saga, im in fucking heaven.


Itll be nice to see an RE movie that was actualy written BEFORE it was shot for a change.:cool:

[X-Nightcrawler]

Eventhough I'd definitely see the 'new' Resident Evil trilogy, I was really really excited about Resident Evil: Afterlife, since I've really enjoyed the first two movies (although I do think Apocalypse is terrible, I enjoy watching it).

[Shockwave]

X, i kinda agree, i do think its odd they just "drope" it like that. Apoc was TERRIBLE compared to even the average-at-best first RE, but it was soo bad i cant help but get a chuckle or two out of watching it every now and then. Its "good" bad. Kinda like Van Helsing was. Comical in its own stupidity and that makes it worth viewing.

AVP on the other hand, was just flat out boring beyond words.

..but i do agree to an extent with what your saying, but at least he gives the viewer soem brain foog to go with the eye candy. Makes his movies what they are, true classics, rather then just splatter movies.

[Zeptron]

Brain food? HAH! This doofus preaches some of the most simplistic, unsophisticated garbage I've ever heard. The apparent message of Day of The Dead is, "Military bad! Military evil!" And he also seems to think that just because a few dumb hicks do a few dumb things, that means the whole of humanity is no better than the zombies & deserves to be wiped out! I mean, GIMME A FUCKIN' BREAK! :mad:

George Romero is a whiny little bitch who is both unable & unwilling to understand the fact that human beings aren't perfect. There I said it. I kinda agree. I don't think he's whiny, though. I only think he loved to FORCIBLY INSERT unecessesary and obvious-ass 'social and political' methaphors in his Dead 'to add substance'. Dawn of the Dead was terrible, social commentary or not.

..so u hate ALL zombie movies?

If he thought all humanity needed to be wiped out, he wouldnt have survivors at the end of nearly all his movies.Hes give us the ending to Dawn 04. All he likes to show is that shit happens, and no social structure lasts forever.

..yeah, he likes to stick it to the man, but in his defense, its really pretty easy to do. Nearly ALL zombie movies make the military look like dicks. 28 Days Later sure didnt help. In fact, MOST horror makes them look like dicks.

Every time I come across off the wall comments that seem to provoke or confront by blasting someone who has a large following in the genre, it never fails to crack me up.

I see it as someone thinking…
” I’ll shock everyone with my negative views on George Romero”

George A. Romero a “Whinny little bitch”?

Ebonics aside, it must be so easy to trivialize a filmmaker like Romero. Your perspective on the man is totally amazing, so by your rational George is nothing more then a whiner, who just preaches simplistic and unsophisticated garbage, that he just sees the whole of humanity is no better than the zombies, deserving of total annihilation.

I’ll cut to the chase. Your summation of Romero and his point of view is a pretty skewered one at that. Lets get few hard cold facts out of the way, if you ask filmmakers like Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, Tobe Hooper or John Landis what kind of impact Romero’s feature debut ‘Night of the Living Dead’ had on their careers you’d find it interesting.

Back in 1993 there was a Documentary released by Tempe Video “Night of the Living Dead” a 25th anniversary. Which is extremely recommended viewing. Because many of the directors I have previously mentioned, were inspired by what this everyman from of all places Pittsburgh Pennsylvania had accomplished. Bucking the system and making his mark on a genre that more then benefited from it.

Romero put it all on the line while trying to hold on to his steady bread and butter making commercials. He dared to follow his dreams and went on to create a film that completely changed the genre forever.

That is not a matter of opinion, this is an historical fact that can’t be so easily denied or disputed. In any medium be it Filmaking, Art, Music, Writing or any other from of communication there have been people that made significant contributions that not only changed the status quo, but also paved the way for others who dared to follow.

Passionate people do express themselves through their work, each according to his or her gifts. Don’t take this the wrong way, but If your going to take time out of your day to trash Romero do your homework 1st, There are various themes that run throughout all of the dead films.

There is more going on then meets the eye, take “Night” as the example: the cold war paranoia, the obvious anger over the war in Vietnam, gun control and the dynamics of the family. The break down of our own society and the rise of a new one.

What makes NOTLD unique was that unlike traditional horror where good might have triumphed over evil and the good guy usually prevailed....George reminded us that we are fragile beings in the face of true inescapable horror, that in the real world the good guys don’t always come out on top and that the cavalry doesn’t always come to the rescue.

To reduce Romero’s ideology in his films to some dogmatic simple-minded thinking is way off base and inaccurate.

Romero sees the whole of humanity is no better than the zombies, deserving of total annihilation?

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

Romero is unwilling to understand the fact that human beings aren't perfect?

To suggest that Romero has this inability to understand human frailty is just plain ridiculous. Its more then obvious he fully understands the human condition, granted if you take a serious hard look, you will always find that tranquility doesn’t exist in Romero’s world.

This is true of ‘Night’ as it is of ‘Dawn’and 'Day'; the protagonists find themselves trapped in a hopeless bleak situation against a deadly foe. Plus, how our inhability to work together can lead to our own demise. Which is relevant to our continued existence in this world.

The “Dead Films” have always reflected the times in which they were made. Being that “Day” arrived in 85 during the ‘Regan Era’, it reflects our mistrust of authority, which was understandable considering what was going on at that point of our history.

The military response is always a show of force and power, however might doesn’t always make right as human history has shown. It doesn’t mean that the military on the whole are evil, but war should not be an absolute solution to a problem.

The Political Leaders have a responsibility to the greater good of the people, but some have thier own agendas to attend to. It is unfortunate that some people walk the halls of power with impunity, but they do exist.

Considering what is going on in the world right now, it seems that if we don’t learn from our past mistakes we are inevitably doomed to repeat them.

If anything Romero cares a great deal about the world we live in, his compassion for humanity is transparent, not wanting the annihilation of it, but reminding us of where we could be heading if we fail to get our shit together.

We should never take anything for granted, it seems that some find it easier to stick their heads in the sand and ignore the real problems facing each and every one of us, which is not being very realistic. Social and political ideology are not inserted to add substance to the dead films; they ARE the substance of the films themselves, they have always been.

Take the time to listen to the commentary tracks on Such DVD’s as Night, Dawn or Day and you will learn quite a wealth of information. Not just on the films themselves, but George A. Romero the man.

*gasp* I knew it!

So that's why you frown at those comments I sometimes do! You think I'm trying to defy you/the majority! I mean, I'm not in this particular discussion but that would explain the seven billion hair pulling contests we've had.

Oh and, if I'm totally wrong (like I generally am), no need to engage a 100,000 word explanation, just tell me I'm wrong and I'll go back to my corner.

Wishcraft is a cool little slasher.

My thought of the day: I am definitely down for Sin City 2 and 3.

[poopontheshoes7]

huge ass ditto for that!

[countchocula]

Wishcraft is essentially Wishmaster with teens. The major difference between the two is that Wishcraft's wishes are genuine. There are no strings attached. I mean, there's a guy running around killing people, but at least the wishes are granted. The film has an unexpected twist ending, and the villain's explanatory monologue didn't annoy me so much (Shock! Awe!). Give it a look.
