You ****ing pussy. I sat through that film last night (tuesday), and didn't even jump once, I was quite disapointed in fact. I was eating a large box of popcorn and s******ing at the gory bits too.

I don't appear to be allowed to say s******ing, because the word "******" is censored. How ****ed up is that?

Not as good as the original.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's just 28 days later, set in America, and called "Dawn of the Dead".

It's not exactly scary. Like I said, I was disapointed. I want to be scared when I go and see a film, not sit there thinking "nice camera work, special effects are better than the original, the zombies are cool, I bet a zombie jumps out right no...yeah there it is"

Thank you for pointing out your inablity to determine the differance between fiction and non-fiction.

Tomkat · 31 Mar 2004, 23:19

I'm the same actually.

I hate scary movies. I don't see the point in watching a film with next-to-no plot, just to make me jump every few minutes. They just aren't enjoyable. On top of that, I get the same thing as starmog, I get very paranoid. Of course I know there's no zombies (or whatever) around my house, but my mind still plays up and until I'm safely tucked up in bed, I'm not a happy bunny.

I can predict when that will happen, I can have watched the film before and know it will, I still jump a ****ing mile though

lokken · 31 Mar 2004, 23:40

horror films

'oh look lighting and music to build up tension'

'so are they going to keep us waiting with the scary bit'

'oh here it comes..there it is'

MrPeach · 1 Apr 2004, 00:28

When talking about horror movies certain things come to light...

One of those things is: Who on the forums is a big girly poof!?

So far I have: Starmog, Tomkat...

Come on, out of the closet you fags...

spoilers!

I saw Dawn of the Dead the other day, it was shite. There seemed to be various people acting decently, just completely out of context. A dad I've hardly seen before finds out he's getting shot, and my precious minutes are wasted trying to make me feel sympathy for an extra. Then similarly the girl is in love with some random guy who dies. Oh, it's showing how the disaster brings suffering to innocent people, right. The proper way to do that is to build up characters, or show children screaming. Why were there no children except one at the start? I guess they all bled to death.
On thrills, it didn't meet expectations. The zombies were too fake (not like real zombies at all) and retarded. The chainsaw accident was my favourite part of the film, but other than that nothing particularly exciting that I remember.
The credit sequence was a nice touch though.

I thought 28 Days Later was decent, at least it made me jump once or twice.

MrL_JaKiri · 1 Apr 2004, 08:37

Thing is, Dawn of the Dead (original) did well what every good zombie film should do; make the people out to be worse than the zombies.

And it did this with a zombie slapstick sequence with motorbikes and custard pies.

ps.

Is the ending still the 'WOW ZOMBIES = CONSUMERS HAHAHAH FREEDOM OF CHOICE' one, with the zombies wandering around over muzak?

Did you like Resident Evil too?

'Watch out, we don't want to get attacked by a zombie!'
'OH NO, A ZOMBIE'S ATTACKING US'

JammyJim · 1 Apr 2004, 10:39

my flatemate said it wasnt half as good as the hype and not in the least scary.

i think cabin fever has been the biggest dissapointment recently.
We were told that it was absoutely shit scary.

It wasnt. There wasnt a single moment where i thought 'argh'.

and its obvious 'political correctness' issue with the gun sale looked tacked on.

Cabin Fever wasn't a horror film. It was a comedy with some gore. I mean, "Pancake, Pancake, Pancake!" - how was that supposed to be horror?

Also, the bit with the guy from "Boy Meets World" going crazy and killing people was

. After he banged the girl (the slut who was dying) he became a fighting ninja. It was great.

I didn't intend to suggest that 28 Days Later wasn't a good film by comparing it to Dawn of The Dead, because it is a very good film indeed. What I meant is that the zombies (in that they RUN), and the camera work/atmosphere are very similar.

It's ironic really that the remake of Dawn of the Dead is copying 28 Days Later that is copying the original Dawn of The Dead..

On the theme of bad films

JonnyBGood · 1 Apr 2004, 14:07

The only good bit was when the gunstore guy used his sniper rifle to shoot the zombies in the head. Why they even bothered having a script is beyond me, just have people killing zombies for two hours and let the viewing public see what they came for. Oh and who wrote that script? Because I actually could have pulled a better one out of my ass.
