Some solid gore, nudity, and pitch black humor best seen in its ending. 7/10

It’s quite fun. I find it to be a smidge overrated mainly because there are horror comedies (and zombie comedies) that have been done better, but that isn’t to knock this film.

It's my favorite zombie comedy, over Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland.

I was born in Louisville, and lived most of my life there, and I'm very happy it got nuked. Especially Central Ave, where Churchill Downs is, although it's described differently in the movie.

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin', like the blue moon of Manchester, England, one of the greatest industrial cities on God's green Earth.

It's my favorite zombie comedy, over Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland. Yup. I'd have to agree with this. And, as far as I know, it's the original zom-com. I mean, Dawn of the Dead '78 did have some comedy elements, but O' Bannon went all the way with the comedy in this flick. The later 2 movies feel more like straight comedies in a zombie-infested setting though, whereas this one has the feel of a traditional campy 80s horror IMO (think Night of the Creeps, TerrorVision, etc.).

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 1968 (the story of 7 people hiding in a farmhouse from zombies ghouls) is too slow and repetitive, even for the decade. Even though the low budget held it back in terms of cinematography, camera work, etc., George A. Romero's directing is good enough for it to be genuinely scary at times. Among the survivors, Ben (the then rare black hero) comes off as the best character. After watching so many annoying and/or boring people throughout the sequels and remakes, I like him even more in retrospective. 6/10 After making a horror movie, George wanted to make an action/horror movie. The difference is that, in that genre, the main characters aren't just victims; they fight back... but they still have to be inferior to the threat. During the majority of DAWN OF THE DEAD 1978, the survivors feel in control of each situation. In fact, there are many moments where the zombies (yes, now they're called that) get near them and they just push them away. Due to these issues (how ironic that the directing (again, not the same as technical quality) and the writing in this sequel (made 10 years later and with a bigger budget) is worse), there's no suspense. The goofy make-up doesn't help. A couple of moments during the last part (including the use of that ear poison Herbert Chappell called THE GONK) suggest that this was also meant to be partly a comedy, but they feel out of place because the story's overall tone isn't consistent. 1/10 DAY OF THE DEAD 3/10 RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART I 3/10 RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART II 1/10 NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 1990 4/10 RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART III 1/10 DAWN OF THE DEAD 2004 7/10 LAND OF THE DEAD 1/10 RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART IV: NECROPOLIS 0/10 RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART V: RAVE TO THE GRAVE 0/10 DAY OF THE DEAD PART 2: CONTAGIUM 0/10 DIARY OF THE DEAD 3/10 SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD 1/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.
