I had a similar reaction the first time I saw Night. I just didn't get what was so great. The second time I saw it though was like a revelation and it is now one of my favorite movies. I liked...

Really liked this. One of the best horror films in recent years.

Loved this.
It's the kind of oddball heist movie I really enjoy. I get the criticisms that some here are stating, and they are valid, but none of that bothered me because of the sheer cinematic...

A beautiful film. Sometimes just a way a movie is filmed is enough to captivate me, but there is so much more here. While it's not perfect, I was absorbed by the experience. It has a kind of...

I decided to revisit this last night as my final Halloween movie for the month. After watching it this time I believe I must have been drunk or delirious during my first viewing because I was not...

I hated it too.

Land really disappointed me the first time I saw it. It's grown on me, but I still think it's a ridiculous concept. It has it's moments, but overall is kind of bland.
I did like Diary though. It...

I can understand your point of view on both these films.
The Night remake is a major step down from the original, but for an eighties remake I think it's pretty effective and makes some interesting...

Here's how I would rank them-

Romero's films
Night of the Living Dead ****
Dawn of the Dead ****
Day of the Dead **1/2
Land of the Dead **1/2
Diary of the Dead ***
Survival of the Dead *

Amending my Halloween viewings-

Horror of Dracula (1958) ***1/2
The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) ***1/2
The Devil Rides Out (1968) ***
Ghostbusters (1984) ****
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)...

Very nice recommendations.

Here are my viewings so far (been on a Hammer films kick lately)-

Horror of Dracula (1958) ***1/2
The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) ***1/2
The Devil Rides Out (1968)...

This series has worn out it's welcome rather quickly. The Lego Movie was an inspired surprise, full of creativity as well as telling a wonderful story that kind of gave us a new spin on The Wizard...

This is one of my biggest pet peeves in movies being made today. The filmmakers don't seem to have enough confidence in the audience to remember an earlier moment or a line of dialogue, so they find...

It looks as though Kylo Ren may kill (or attempt to kill) Leia. This may just be an editing choice for the trailer, but if it's true I'm dismayed that they would go the matricide route after the...

If this is true, I'm all for it. I've always hated that subplot and the fact that every film that followed (including Zombie's remake) used that as the jumping off point. I understand that this may...

Not quite sure what to think of this. Never read the book, so I can't compare.
This was an impressive production, with some very good performances. It was just quite an uncomfortable experience,...

I liked this, but didn't love it. There was a lot to admire and appreciate, but I didn't leave the theater with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. I have a feeling, though, that my opinion of...

My issue with the Zombie films is not really his interpretation of the Michael Myers character, but with the total execution of story and style. It just doesn't work for me, and just seems to be an...

I can see how a 40 year old movie can have a lesser impact in today's cinematic climate, especially one that has been imitated as much as Halloween (and to be fair, Halloween borrowed from other...

I agree.
I'm a huge fan of Carpenter's original (one of my all time favorite movies), but have no love for any of the sequels or remakes (and I've seen them all). Starting with Halloween II the...

I've seen that one too, but it's been a long time. I remember it being very faithful to the novel. The main drawback is the production values. This was a BBC production from the 70's and has that...

The Frank Langella version is one of my favorite adaptations. Very stylish, with a great cast. It also has a terrific score by John Williams (very underrated, and rarely mentioned when his body of...

Watched Bram Stoker's Dracula (aka Dan Curtis' Dracula), a 1974 television film with Jack Palance as the Count. Surprisingly effective, with Palance delivering a somewhat subdued performance. Of...

I found the press reaction to Tobe Hooper's death very underwhelming. I know he was a Hollywood outsider, and not on the same level as George Romero (whose death got a lot of attention), but his...

I like The Stand the best out of all the King books I've read. It would be second, and is also very good, but is ruined by the utterly ridiculous ending.
The Stand mini-series is about as good as a...
