Horror fans there are some people that are just straight up legends within the horror genre and one of those people is writer , director and producer George A. Romero. With the man having made some of the best zombie movies ever made however when it comes to his zombie there's always one film that people forget about and that's the film that i'm going to be talking about today and so then join me as I review the film that brought the Living Dead franchise back from the dead with the film in question being called simply just "Land Of The Dead" enjoy.
The plot of this film is a commander of crack military unit has to go into a zombie ridden city to get as many people as he can out before the city becomes even more overrun by Zombies. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with my main issue being that it doesn't feel like a plot of a freaking Living Dead film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Simon Baker as Riley Denbo , John Leguizamo as Cholo DeMora and Dennis Hopper as Paul Kaufman. Also starring in this film is Asia Argento as Slack , Robert Joy as Charlie Houk , Eugene Clark as Big Daddy Zombie , Joanne Boland as Pretty Boy , Tony Nappo as Foxy , Jennifer Baxter as Number 9 Zombie , Boyd Banks as Butcher Zombie , Jasmin Geljo as Tambourine man Zombie , Maxwell McCabe-Lokos as Mouse , Tony Munch as Anchor , Pedro Miguel Arce as Pillsbury and Shawn Roberts as Mike.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films cast members turning in some really good performances which considering that the script for this film is pretty bad is a miracle indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This film is the fourth film in the Living Dead franchise however it's also the one that doesn't feel like a Living Dead film. Since this film plays out more like the original live action Resident Evil sequels then it does a Living Dead film since everything that we've come to expect from one of these films is all but gone and is replaced with explosions which is fine for a Resident Evil film but is not fine for a Living Dead film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
What I really did find to be rather enjoyable about this film is the fact that this film explores what the criminal underworld would look like in a possible zombie apocalypse. This is something that to my knowledge hasn't really been explored in zombie media since we mostly see what happend to those that follow the law and so it was rather interesting to see what the criminal underworld would look like in a possible zombie apocalypse in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Another interesting thing that was added to this film is the fact that the Zombies in this film have basic human emotions. This is such a cool idea because it opens it up to the fact that the zombies could be turning human and this is something that hasn't really been touched upon in alot of zombie media and i'm not sure why because it then opens up the discussion of is it right to be killing of these zombies or not and that is such a cool idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
There's really no interesting characters in this film at all since all of this films characters are just one dimensional characters. This is a huge problem since we all know that when he really wants to writer , producer and director George A. Romero can indeed write some really good characters and yet for some strange and rather unknown reason for this film he chose to take the Resident Evil live action film sequels approach and not make any interesting characters at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty six minuets and fifty two seconds. Which was a bit on the long side for this film since for the vast majority of the film nothing is actually happening to advance the overall plot of the film and so what we are left with is a bunch of one dimensional characters just talking to each other and that's it and that makes the film feel quite boring in places in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then since this film is zombie film that means that I have to talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film are in all honesty not that bad. With this film actually having some rather fun , creative and gory kills within it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film is a fairly bad film but it's also a very well made film since everything from a technical standpoint in this film is very well put together but it's also quite clearly George A. Romero not at his best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the image that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film up on Google Images and pus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always do with our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams.
