Yeah they would've been trapped with one zombie in a room where surely one of them would've seen her re-animate and handled the situation before she could pick up a trowel.

Yeah, a series changes as it grows, that still doesn't change the fact that Dawn's framework is made up of plot threads left untied in the first movie. Did we need someone to step up and say "The dead are still coming to life, this isn't over?" to spell out that the end of the movie was simply the end of a very small…

How do you figure? The dead were still coming to life at the end of movie, and though a dedicated group of rednecks had cleared an area of the countryside we get no information on how things are holding up in population centers with a much large amount of people, dead bodies, and places to hide. It doesn't take a…

It's a retcon that takes the ending of the first film to its logical conclusion though, there's nothing about the events of Dawn that undo any element of Night's ending. We even see the redneck militias when the characters of Dawn fly over them in opening act.

And they really aren't, but they are probably the closest thing to Romero zombies up to that point. It's probably the only example of pre-Romero zombies that actually wanted to feast on the living rather than strangle them as was the tradition of the time.

I fall somewhere in the middle, I mean the story does involve undead creatures besieging a barricaded house and the ultimate thesis statement is that man is the real monster and is being consumed by the new, but they do go in way different directions narratively speaking.

I think if you actually read the article you'll find it peppered with examples of how he influenced the industry as well as film-makers inspired by his work.

So basically it's every other trashy horror novel from the late 80s.

Ah, the 35th Anniversary Edition, what a piece of shit that was. There was also an unofficial spin-off directed by and starring the guy who played the graveyard zombie (Bill Hinzman) which is probably the most enjoyable aggressively bad movie I've ever watched.

Robert E. Howard's Pigeons From Hell depicts a zombie that is, in fact, a reanimated corpse.

We're at least 40% more sufferable than the rest of the internet.

But the opening scenes of Dawn of the Dead literally addresses how all the containment and elimination were for nothing as the whole system falls apart in an even worse way because people start hiding their dead for sentimental reasons and waves of undead build up in population centers.

They're cleaning up stagglers but the central issue of the dead returning to life is not resolved in any way, so while they're victorious by film's end there's no hope that it won't happen again.

He was right in both versions, though. All they had to do was barricade themselves in the basement and wait for help.

What I always appreciated about Night was that the movie proves that Cooper was right all along. Ben's plan seems way more reasonable but it ends up getting everyone killed and he survives ultimately by doing what Cooper insisted they do the whole time, hiding in the basement. (Cooper of course gets his through his…

Well, Richard Matheson has said several times that Night of the Living Dead was a blatant rip-off of his novella I Am Legend (which, true or not, always made Matheson come off as a crank) and as such the first movie adaptation of that story (The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price) would tehcnically be the first…

The first Tomba looks really great, it's basically just an upscaled SNES game.

Oh no, you don't know what the word "clearly" means.

They haven't stumbled onto the warehouse full of green jumpsuits and bolt-action rifles yet.

I'm okay with focusing a larger-than-necessary amount of rage at Blind because that film looks like hot garbage and it needs to know that what it is doing is wrong.
