Land Of The Dead Film Review

 

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.

My First Impressions of The Day Of The Dead 2021 TV Series

 

Horror fans I thought that we'd learnt by now that remaking or in this just taking the name of George A. Romero movie and borrowing literally nothing else from said movie was a bad. Apparently we hadn't learnt that lesson because Syfy has decided to release there version of of of the 1985 George A. Romero film Day Of The Dead and so join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that just takes the name of the movie that it's reimagining and nothing more then that with the TV show in question being called simply just "Day Of The Dead" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is rather simple to summarize simply because the writers / of this show and episode and the makers of this very show and episode chose not to give this episode an actual plot to speak of what so freaking ever. This is the first of many freaking red flags in this episode for me personally since if you have no story to tell in your opening episode then why the heck should I watch your second episode this is just bad screen writing right freaking here in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Keenan Tracey as Cam McDermott , Daniel Doheny as Luke Bowman and Natalie Malaika as Lauren Howell. Also starring in this episode is Morgan Holmstrom as Sarah Blackwood , Kristy Dawn Dinsmore as Amy , Mike Dopud as Detective McDermott , Miranda Frigon as Paula Bowman , Dejan Loyola as Jai Fisher , Christopher Russell as Trey Bowman , Kevin O'Grady as Rhodes , Marci T. House as Captain Pike , Victor Zinck Jr. as Shawn , Jay Brazeau as Pops Parker , Trezzo Mahor as Trent ,Nikolai Witschl as Zombie Zero , Caitlin Stryker as Nicole , Peter New as Lazlo and Paula Shaw as Mrs. French.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was at best OK. This is simply because all of the actors and actresses that are appearing in / starring in this very episode have nothing to work with in terms of what there characters personality is like and so all of the actors and actresses that are appearing in / starring in this very episode can only do so much with the material that are being given to work with in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this is show is very freaking easily worse then the Chucky TV series that premiered just a few short days ago since that show is at least fun to watch. How then same thing cannot be said for this episode since this episode is anything but fun to watch since it's more focused on giving us forced drama that it sucks out all of the fun that this series could have had with both it's premise and it's set up in my opinion anyways / at least.

So now then the writing for this episode is a freaking joke simply because the lead writers / head writer , showrunners , creators and executive producers for this show are Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas. These two jokers are responsible for alot of bad movies chief among which is The Flintstones And WWE Stone Age Smackdown , the slightly better The Jetsons And WWE: Robo-Wrestlemania and the passable at best The Banana Splits Movie they are also the pair that got fired from Raven's Home after it's first season which is for a good reason because that first sucked and these two writers haven't written anything that's got any kind of universal praise because they are that bad of a pair of writers in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then the writing for this episode is so freaking bad that half the time this episode feels like that it's a bad sitcom complete with plenty of moments where characters will say things but then the complete opposite will happen all done in the vain attempt to make this episode some what humorous. This sitcom type of writing also clashes with the episodes alot more serious tone and so the episode from a writing standpoint comes across as being all over the place since the writing cannot decide if it wants to be taken seriously or if it wants to be rather freaking humorous in my freaking opinion anyways / at least. 

Now then even I really did hate this episode the bad writing that this episode has to offer is honestly what makes this episode turn to be somewhat enjoyable. Since I found myself laughing at how bad alot of the lines of dialog were in this episode with the dialog being so freaking on the nose that it's actually un freaking real exactly hw on the nose the dialog is in this very / particular episode in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

So now then this episode has / had an exact running time of exactly forty seven minuets and thirteen seconds and well in all honesty I in all honesty think / feel that this episode should have been either alot freaking shorter or even alot freaking longer. Simply because there's very little actual horror in this horror themed show and that is something that would have been fixed if this episode was either shorter or a little bit freaking longer in my opinion anyways / at least. 

Now then since this is a horror show after all and there are some horror elements in this horror themed episode after all that means that I have to actually talk about the horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in all honesty I in all honesty think / feel that the horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode. Is at best freaking weak since there's very little actual scares in this episode but on the plus side the gore effects for this show do thus far seem to be pretty freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least.

Overall even tho you only get one chance to make a good first impression this episode left a very freaking bad impression on me personally so much so that i'm not even going to watch the remaining nine episodes of this ten episode series i'm just going to drop this series / show right here and right freaking now because it's that freaking bad in my opinion 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 episode in this post and since this post is just me giving my first impressions of this very show I will not be giving a rating for this show as this isn't a review of the show itself but rather my first impressions of the show itself.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images 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 post from the official Child's Play fandom wiki page and lastly from 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 ne and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams.

Dawn Of The Dead 1978 Film Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen very rarely do I get to review a horror film that i've never seen before let alone review a classic horror film that many have said is the best zombie film of all time and well for this review and so I thought that i'd take a look at a film that i've honestly never even seen before. Which for me at least is a very rare thing indeed and so join me as I review the classic 1978 George A. Romero zombie film classic with the film itself being called simply "Dawn Of The Dead" and so enjoy this / the review everyone dead and undead alike.

The plot of this film is a group of people try to survive the zombie apocalypse in a shopping mall all the while trying to maintain some resemblance of their own humanity as the world around them crumbles and is possibly overrun by zombies. In terms of what I thought about the plot of this film in all honesty the plot of this film is so much better then what my summery of this films plot made it out to be since the main focus of this film isn't the plot at all since the main focus of this film are the human characters and seeing them struggle just to live day to day or even hour to hour and the plot of this film is honestly really freaking good since an honestly refreshing story that is in all honesty really well told but that's just in my very humble and as well as in my very honest opinion anyways.

Starring in this film is David Emge as Stephen "Flyboy" Andrews , Ken Foree as Peter Washington , Scott Reiniger as Roger "Trooper" DeMarco and Gaylen Ross as Francine "Fran" ("Flygirl") Parker. Yeah there's only four actors in this entire film but that's not including any of the characters that have either small roles or cameo appearences tho but I do think that it's interesting that there's only four main actors in this film since it would have been super easy to populate the mall setting with a ton of characters but no they makers of this film chose just to have four characters which oddly makes the film feel alot more personal in my humble and very honest opinion anyways.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's presented to us in this film in all honesty the acting in this film is so freaking good and I say that the acting that's presented to us in this in film is so freaking good is so freaking good simply because I honestly believe it to be true. Simply because every actor in this film is clearly giving it their best and what helps the acting in my opinion is the fact that the script for this film is so freaking good with all of the characters being really / very well written and as such all the actors would have to do is just say the lines as they are written and boom a good performance would come out naturally but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as in my honest opinion anyways.

This film does alot of things that 1968's "Night Of The Living Dead" simply couldn't do like for example this film shows us alot more zombies which in my opinion makes the zombie threat alot freaking bigger. Simply because instead of just having a handful of zombies show up we now having anywhere between twenty to fifty zombies all show up which means that are four four lead characters are in much more of a bigger threat but that's just in my opinion anyways.

Another thing that this film does that 1968's "Night Of The Living Dead" didn't do is the fact that this film is in color. Which honestly really does work for the film since this film is stunning to look at but at the same time it also makes the zombies look pretty silly since you can tell that the zombies are painted blue for some reason which doesn't work well at all if anything making the zombies either green or peach would have worked better since it would have made the zombie look more scary which should always be the end goal when your making a zombie movie but that's just in my very humble and as well as in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls to me this film is less of a zombie and is more a drama since there is a huge portion of the film features no zombies or zombie action whatsoever. Which I have to say that I kind of liked that approach to the film purely because it gives us the viewers / audiences who's watching this film a chance to connect with the characters and it allows a sense of dread to build up which just wouldn't be the case if there was zombie action in this film every five minuets or so but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well is in my very , very honest opinion anyways.

Now after doing some very quick research on this films Wikipedia I found out that this film is the fourth film that the great make up effects artist Tom Savini ever worked and my god do the special make up effects look so good. Every single make up effect in this film just looks so freaking cool and i'm not going to lie some of the make up effects in this actually had me a little bit scared simply because that's how good they looked but that's just in my very humble and as well as in my very honest opinion anyways / indeed.

One of the negative things that I have to say about this film is it's running time because this film is two hours and nineteen minuets and twenty six seconds long and it really didn't need to be that long at all in my humble and very honest opinion. Heck you could have cut alot of the middle portion of this film out to bring this film down to say one hour and forty five minuets and you would have lost nothing if importance but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls this is a zombie movie after all and so that means that I have to talk about the kills that are presented to us in this / the actual film itself and if i'm being honest the kills in this film are simply stunning to look and i say that the kills that are presented to us in this film are simply stunning to look at because that's where we get to see some of the great makeup effects work from Tom Savini. It also helps that this film makes you care for the characters and to you really do feel something that when die / start to die but that's just in my humble and very honest opinion anyways.

Overall this is a really good film and not just a great zombie film or a great horror film but a great film in general. Yes there are some bad things in this film but for me in this case the good things that are in this film far outweigh the bad things that are in this film and since i've talked about both of the good and the both of the bad things that are featured / presented to us in this film this film gets an 8.5 out of 10 from me , as for where I got the images that I used in this film well I got all of the images that I used in this film from either the official Night Of The Living Dead fandom wiki page or Google Images with Google Images being my preferred website to use to get images from this film from simply because google Images has a wide variety of images from this film which simply wasn't the case with the official Night Of The Living Dead fandom wiki page and so we end this horror themed / horror movie review as we always do with our one true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very , very unpleasant dreams indeed.
