This one has eluded me since it came out for some reason. I'm a huge fan of the original, so much so that I prefer it to Romero's Dawn. I haven't been avoiding the '90s remake, it's just never talked about and I never see it anywhere to watch. Well, last night I decided to watch it, and I gotta tell you, I was shocked beyond belief! How in the name of all that is unholy did the legend Tom Savani screw up the effects?
Well, you could make the excuse that he probably didn't have much to do with them, he was busy directing the actors and the camera. Why then would the legend of practical gore effects direct a zombie movie, a classic zombie movie, and not give the good stuff? Give us the stuff that made Dawn so cool. Was he trying to tone it down to match the original Night? Man, I gotta call bull**** on that one if that is the case.
So what do you guys think? When you first saw it, were you expecting a bloodbath? Did you enjoy it in spite of most of the kills being offscreen and really tame? Is there any value to this film? Do any of you own it? Personally, I can't find one thing of value, other that it's giving me something to bitch about online.
