The box of the dead (ZOMBIES ZOMBIES ZOMBIES)
« on: October 17, 2008, 11:21:08 AM »
No, this isn't a film by George Romero about zombies which live in a box, its a boxset of all his awesome films, well nearly all of them.
Its a set of five films, "Night of the living dead (Original)", though in my opinion the remake was way better in some aspects, the zombies in the original didnt eat people as much as they just killed them in random ways.
"Dawn of the dead (Original)", my favourate, and i personally think its best work, i loved this one because of the funky music, the clever plans of action the characters came up with, and showing how they passed the time once they were safe inside the shopping mall, which the remake failed at, badly, because zombies SHOULD NOT RUN.
"Day of the dead (not sure if they remade this, but i doubt it)", I never liked day of the dead, i just couldnt get into the story of it, a load of military personel, underground, with weapons, and they still got slaughtered.
"Land of the dead", pfft, i dont even count this as a zombie film, its a good film dont get me wrong, but it lacked the "Alert factor" which the others had.
"Diary of the dead", think of it as, the blair witch project or cloverfield, but with zombies, i saw this one in the cinema when it first came out a few years back, and i just loved it, in fact i instantly took a liking to it before i even saw it, when one of my friends told me they were making a film blair witch style with zombies, its just so epic, if you've not seen this one then get your ass to a dvd store and hunt for it.

Also if anyone has any info on George Romero's next film, "Island of the dead (2009)", lemme know :D

A few years ago i was reading that Romero was involved in a film called 'Diamond Dead' about a rock band and zombies or something.

Seppuku is the ancient art of killing yourself if you get super pissed and can't find anybody else to kill. Not to be confused with Bukakke

Well it wouldn't surprise me, he's involved in most zombie films in one way or another, lol.
