Silent Night, Deadly Night
There's only a few weeks until Christmas, but we've all been seeing the decorations up and hearing the music since at least Halloween, if not before. They say that the holiday season is the most depressing time of the year, but just imagine if you parents were killed right in front of you by a guy dressed in a Santa suit on Christmas Eve night. It might mess you up a bit.
Prom Night (Old VS New)
For today’s installment of remake cinema I’ve decided to do a side-by-side of Prom Night. We’ll feature the original starring the queen of scream Jamie Lee Curtis and the new one starring the lovely Brittany Snow. I decided to take a look at the new one first this time, just to make sure that I haven’t disliked the newer movies because I saw them after. I will start out by saying right off the bat you can tell that these movies follow a completely different story line. The only similarity is that they both focus on prom night, as if the title didn’t already give that away!
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
If you read my post about The Fog you remember that I am not a fan of remakes. 99% of the time they just don't live up to the original. They are basically trying to cash in on a good movie by throwing in a few 20-something Hollywood turds. Well for me the remake of Dawn of the Dead from 2004 fits into the 1% that did it right. I love that movie... good acting, great action, and a very well written re-telling of the original movie. With that said I thought it would be a good time to re-watch and review the original written and directed by George A. Romero.
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
This movie is a classic zombie flick that has launched many sequels and remakes, none of which capture the mood and horror of the original Night of the Living Dead. This black and white film depicts the fear and confusion of people who find themselves fighting for their lives against an unknown horror with limited ways of evading or destroying the zombies. This is also a great film to launch our ZOMBIE WEEK 2008, where we're going to review each of the Romero "Dead" movies, leading into our first ever giveaway.
Directed by: George A. Romero Written by: George A. Romero & John A. Russo
