The last good zombie movies(and horror movies in general) were in the 90s. Once the 2000's came all went to crap! Major crap! I don't like any of them! And everyone getting all into zombies like a cool fad is so annoying and they have helped add to the downfall of zombies! I HATE the walking dead! Crappy show that just adds to the downfall of zombies! And you are so right that everyone thinks they are all badass and will be able to whoop zombie butt, in truth most will be hiding and crying like a baby! Or running away screaming and freaking out! Bravo to you for pointing all this out! And I LOVE ROTLD! Great perspective on it. :) Makes me look at it in a whole new way I never thought to.

Where would we be without "braaaaains." But I think this movie holds up as a great farce of the horror genre at large.<br />I actually reviewed this movie too on my new blog. I would love to hear from another critic. Too see if my review holds up.<br /><br />http://horrormoviemedication.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-return-of-living-dead-do-you-want.html<br /><br />Check it out if you could. ;)The Cheshire Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224678106445126955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-89759335709346024792012-01-18T23:05:08.433-05:002012-01-18T23:05:08.433-05:00Do you want to party?
It's party time!
My disr...Do you want to party?<br />It's party time!<br />My disrespect for many zombie films, revolves around the hypocrisy.<br />Often, it seems, the gorier the zombie flick the better, right?<br />It's completely socially acceptable to cheer the slaughter and evisceration of the dead by popular culture, but if you applaud the same for equally fictional living characters, you are somehow seen as a deranged human being.<br />But, aren't most of these zombie flicks just thinly veiled excuses to watch animated things get torn to ribbons?<br />I like some zombie films, but prefer when it's a mass psychosis, or disease spread, as opposed to the reanimation of the dead.<br />Serpent and the Rainbow was bad ass, and I liked seeing where zombies came from historically.<br />ROTLD was fun, as was Cemetery Man.

I thought it was weird that the 2 guys who work in the medical supply warehouse that turn into zombies are the same 2 guys in the sequel who are graverobbers who then turn into zombies.commodore sixty fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252781846243511386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-14277633831595851212012-01-17T09:08:09.966-05:002012-01-17T09:08:09.966-05:00Great assessment of a fine cult film that was part...Great assessment of a fine cult film that was part of my formative years. It even has Clu Gulager, fercryinoutloud! The movie still holds a place in my heart.<br /><br />As a zombie movie fan since who knows when, your thoughts about the decline in the living dead in film being taken less seriously are dead-on...see what I did there? Seriously, I hardly want to watch about two-thirds of the zombie movies being made because they're parodies of parodies. What happened to the good old-fashioned shambling force of nature that has no humor, no intelligence, just hunger? Bring that horrifying, bleak vision back.<br /><br />Oh, yeah, and you nailed the "faux-tough-person" thing. People talk tough but come on, like you said, we'd all be in a fetal position if that should occur.<br /><br />Good stuff again, Andre!Dodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555228849584962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-5764810561003513152012-01-17T08:58:32.355-05:002012-01-17T08:58:32.355-05:00This is the best post about the state of the zombi...This is the best post about the state of the zombie that I have read in a very long time. <br /><br />Your observation about ROTLD and how WE ARE THE JOKE, and not the zombies, ties right into what I always say. A good zombie film has nothing to do with the zombies. It has everything to do with character and the human condition.<br /><br />There are still filmmakers out there that get this... but sadly, SO MANY that do not.<br /><br />Seriously, brilliant post.Kev D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13557162668726460610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-22490991989994544282012-01-16T17:21:47.102-05:002012-01-16T17:21:47.102-05:00Great review!!
