    By curious coincidence, Spun, Scream Factory is about to release a bunch of Romero's stuff on blu-ray, including Monkey Shines.

    Look Romero's The Crazies is solid/good, but the remake is better in many ways.
    Oh, I suppose I didn't mention my take on this. Romero's The Crazies = dull and plodding. Remake = exciting and well-made.

    Survival wasn't very conventionally good, but I found it charming, whereas Diary was just lousy... or at least so I thought at the time. Who knows, a revisit might change my mind, people change.

    Of the Romero films I haven't seen, I'm most interested in Monkey Shines, Knightriders, and The Crazies. Season of the Witch/Jack's Wife/Hungry Wives is his most undervalued.

    The mere fact that I can remember the ending to his story quite vividly, while completely forgetting the entirety of Argento's is telling, I think.

If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Pretty much. Beautiful transfers, great extras, awesome packaging.

    I love that most if the covers are reversible - you can have the new artwork, or flip it and your BluRay cover is now the original poster.

    I will watch that Nightbreed Director's Cut. I saw that in the theater and even then I knew it had been edited all to hell.

    Didn't like it. Suffered from Moronic Character Syndrome.

    I thought it was pretty bad, but I'd be willing to give it another go after really liking Mickle's following film, We Are What We Are. I recall the lead being a charisma vacuum burdened with broodingly existential narration that he couldn't sell, lost within a sea of broadly and unconvincingly sketched post-apocalyptic cliches. Most of all, I remember rolling my eyes a lot, thinking that it was just really lame. The long take with the helicopter was a genuinely successful moment however, and some of the effects work and atmosphere keep it watchable.

    Shoulda listened to you guys. I struggled to get through that. Only stuck with it because, after We Are What We Are and Cold in July, I trusted Mickle.

    But this movie is just a slog. Rowland was right on with everything he said. It's like they wanted to do an action horror thing and lacked the budget. The staging of all the mini-set pieces is just terrible. The story is unimaginative. The characters thinly drawn. The VO tries to cover up gaps in the plot, and communicates things we should be seeing on screen, not hearing on the soundtrack. Awful.

    I liked it enough to buy it. The ending is a bit mushy but overall I love the tone.

    I think we had a thread for it here somewhere.

    Well we hadn't seen very many modern vampire movies when this came out. Daybreakers was another I kinda liked.

    My thoughts in the thread.

    I liked this. I agree with Rowland's point that it does not work as a horror too well but it's more of a journey on the same page as Monsters was- with more character interaction, more action and more at stake (pun intended). The archetype drama is done poorly, but it's not really about the obvious climax in the end, and more about Martin which ties the opening monologue with a relativity satisfying conclusion. I love this shot too.

    Gotcha. I think it makes for tough viewing now. This movie came out a year after The Road and the same year that The Walking Dead debuted. It feels redundant and unnecessary, especially as it has no new angles on the material. (One of the more curious aspects were the "vampires," who more or less functioned as Crazies/Zombies/Ragers).

    Although: I do think it's interesting that all three of Mickle's movies center around family, family relationships, and the very idea of family.

    Well I'm now that guy who loved Zombie (1979). Its not better than Dawn (78) but I dug the ending and I liked the mix of nightmares and gore.

    I love Fulci's Zombie. It's probably Fulci's most solid production from that era.

    One of my favorite moments in the film was when the shark and the zombie fought. Only Fulci could get away with a scene that is utterly ridiculous yet also highly entertaining.
