no bro i tottaly respect your opinion regarding the film, because i am complete cinema geek and often love films that others loathe and visa versa. its all cool. My best friend and i were just viewing LOTD and laughing at the absurdity of it.
no scare factor WHATSOEVER. thats what zombies are…right? scary? thats why LOTD didn’t cut it for me. i was just not interested at all. The characters were flat. Zombies were smarter than humans. And Cholo…was just…bad.
[/quote]George Romero does not intend to scare people with his movies, he’s not trying to be Wes Craven or some fucking body who is trying to get you to yell, he uses the zombies as social satire, the spark for the conflict in his charcters, who ultimately destroy themselves. I haven’t really seen a zombie movie that is genuinely scary since NOTLD, other than that I don’t think it would work to make zombies scary, because they’re not. And another creepy zombie flick is Lucio Fulci’s zombie, the gore is outrageously good and well there is very little story but the visuals are classic.
