Title: Re: zombies Post by: Cullen on January 31, 2004, 12:36:51 AM I am among the very few who actually liked Scooby-Doo*, and, with the excellent trailers, I have great hopes for the new Dawn. I have no hope for the next Resident Evil but, then again, I had no hope for the first one and it turned out kind of sort of not bad I think maybe.
I know nothing about Shaun except the name, but it might be good. * I don't normally gush about actors, but Linda Cardellini (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004802/) is simply gorgeous. I know it's not relevant to the discussion, but I felt it had to be said. Gorgeous.

It was more about recreating the video game, which has zombies in it but is not really about zombies. I'll probably rent the sequel or see it on cable.
I don't know why people keep saying 28 DAYS LATER is a zombie movie, except for the movie having a lot of the same problems as DAY OF THE DEAD. Title: Re: zombies Post by: Mr_Vindictive on January 31, 2004, 08:40:35 AM I'm seriously looking forward to Shaun Of The Dead. Looks like a hilarious spoof of the zombie genre.
British humor and zombies? I'm so there. |
