Sparse spooks from John Russo's coulda-been, shoulda-been backwoods misfire. Read the book instead.

It would be nice if you wouldnt RUIN THIS by having to add your 'TAG' to the begining and end!

[MegaEdward40]

this is the first horror film that i watched on video still love it to this day trying to get it on dvd but cant get it x

[TheForgottenFlesh]

@TheAltair4 Very true.

[TheAltair4]

@TheForgottenFlesh Matheson's I Am Legend is hardly an original concept itself either. The historic battle of The Alamo could be seen as the basic source of inspiration for that story and it's many film adaptations as well as classics such as Rio Bravo, El Dorado and Assault on Precinct 13.

Read the book before I saw the film and enjoyed both. Especially unsettling and some amazing makeup fx by Tom Savini!

@TheForgottenFlesh I agree. I would also throw Shawn of the Dead and Eli Roth (the worst) into that camp. Roth can't help turn his films into stupid jokes.

@TheForgottenFlesh night also has much in common with carnival of souls and invisible invaders. day/dead also has much in common with invisible invaders. i think cronenberg may have also seen i drink your blood.

[TheForgottenFlesh]

@johnrunion They are classics but very overated since the whole concept of Night Of The Living Dead was taken from Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. Also the plot of The Crazies was very similar to I Drink Your Blood. I dunno I think Romero is overrated.

[johnrunion]

@TheForgottenFlesh yes, i am no fan of the current crop of romero zombie films either, but his/the original versions of night/dawn/day + the crazies are classic.

[TheForgottenFlesh]

@johnrunion Well, let's think about it. Look at the current Romero films Diary Of The Dead and Survival Of The Dead. He's become so laughably bad as a director and lazy (he's remaking Deep Red). The thing about Romero films is they always have to have some type of political aspect to the story. It ends up being the same film over and over. Fulci's films focuss on spiritualism, and more supernatural aspects which is a lot more interesting.

@TheForgottenFlesh i agree with you about the friday the 13th films (and i would also add the nightmare on elm street films), but i wouldn't add romero's films, but instead all of the countless, mindless rip-offs/clones/imitators of the zombie genre.
