Alright, Puhner has reviewed these all fairly highly, yet they reside on a list claiming them to be "stinkeroos." I think not. Some of the most cynical and inventive movies I have ever seen. I LOVE the Dead movies. Even the remake of Dawn was awesome.
For those that have not seen these, they are zombie movies. They are THE zombie movies. Evil Dead are NOT zombie movies, they are comedies. If you want Zombies you want Fulci and Romero. Romero's Night, Dawn, Day and Land of the Dead movies are cynical commentaries of America, it's policies, it's insanity, it's glutony, etc. Made with fairly tight budgets and a whole lot of love, these movies can be watched in many different ways. They are comedies, they are horror movies, and they are social commentary. These are not your typical horror movies.
Fulci's zombies are focused on terror. Rotten, lumbering corpses taking over the Earth and killing everyone. Another wonderful take on the subject and actually scary. Granted Zombie aka Zombi 2 (his best zombie movie) is very dated and sometimes badly re-dubbed to make up for poor initial recording, but this movie is intense and brutal. There is a feeling of desperation and desolation that I just love.
Anyway, as you can see, I love my zombie movies. Please give them a shot if you haven't already.
