Although I am a huge George A. Romero and horror fan, I saw this movie pretty
impulsively and without giving it much thought. In fact at first look I thought this was the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead, but with the added 3D technology, ahahha, such an ass! As soon as I watched the trailer I knew it was a remake and thought that it looked like your typical direct to
video, shot on video, low budget whatever movie and left it at that.
The fact that it had Sid Haig in it, or that it was 3D, were if
anything just deterrents. I had no idea it was theatrical, though.You know I'm not necessarily opposed to remakes as
savagely as many other horror fans are, although some remakes scare the hell out of you, but not because they're good! on the contrary they fail miserably trying to pull off a sustainable 90 minutes story. Anyways, I think I'm kind of neutral when it comes to remakes, you know the eye of the beholder shit explains it quite good.
that said, Night of the Living Dead 3D is a competent enough and,
thankfully, relatively straight horror film that I personally thought
was enjoyable. this is a quiet, reserved zombie movie vs a balls to the
walls gorefest or whatever that many people might expect going in, but
don't let that deter you - if anything, it just means the filmmakers
are more interested in characters, story and atmosphere than wasting time on the usual cinema overused clichés. I wish it had more nudity & sex though, you know, to grant you the full B movie experience you are required to add some cheap shots to your movie.
You should see a doctor mum, you don't look well.
I shoulda gone to the dentist!
Your hands are the hands of a wanker!
If you look for reviews about this film, you will find a lot of other people having cited the acting and dialogue in the film as
terrible, but I think everyone did a fair job in their roles and the
writing of the characters and storytelling is completely respectable. I can't say any of the actors are real
standouts, but I sympathized with the characters and cared about what
was going on. Sid Haig does the typical Sid Haig thing which I find
borders on self parody a little bit too much, but I thought his "zombie
explanation monologue" was awesome.
I thought the zombies and makeup effects were top notch - more of the
return of the living dead/EC comics style zombie look than the more
modern, KNB effects version, which I personally think looks hokey. to
clarify, these zombies do not run! they lumber around and groan and
moan and are pretty classy numbers. I liked the overall dark look
of the film - everything is cold and dark and desaturated, and there's
always plenty of fog rolling around everywhere. what else do you want?
bats? I guess they could have thrown some in there.
Fucked up zombies are coming, and they'll find me ready!
I don't like gangbang, I'm no a fag you scum!
I think the sun got onto me.
the 3D in the movie is, ironically enough, the films weakest link.
there's just no reason for it. the filmmakers try their best to include
some 3D gags, but you can tell its mostly just going through the
motions and to satisfy the title. The 3D thing has now become a standard in film making and though, the red and blue 3D technology is outdated, the new 3D will not last long cause it's just overrated. The film had its release on both the standard 2D format and the 3D fever format. I prefer the 2D over the 3D, and I tell you why: All of a sudden film makers are set to make everything in 3D, I say, what for? is it really necesary? I don't think so unless you're James Cameron's Avatar.
a Good old' fuck in the barnyard.
She was hired for this.
After a good fuck, it's time to get the hell out.
Brianna Brown, the lead role. Oh god!
in conclusion, check Night of the Living Dead 3D out, but without any expectations, and stop being so damn cynical too!
it's clear these guys were just trying to homage one of their favorite
horror movies and make something the fans would enjoy. the movie
doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's solid enough and worth a gander. Now, if you want to find a gore fest, this movie will probably dissapoint as there are thousands of slasher/gore fest films that paint everything red. If you wanna watch nasty zombies, look for Porn of the Dead, a parody that is far from giving a boner, unless you're a complete pervert.
So, that's it for today, be sure to continue visiting my blog, even if you don't read my reviews and just come here for the nude scenes pictures you still kind of make my day.
