Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine zombie flix: DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND

Did you ever get to see Deadgirl?

Not yet... but I see that it is back on the instant list section... No time like the present...

turned off undead after about 30 minutes. i'm not sure if it's supposed to be funny.

it's like a really scary movie with a 1950s bugs bunny score to it.

utter failure.

Thanks for the heads-up, Peebs...

Matt, I am watching DEADGIRL now... (took a break to post for a minute)... first impression: JT and Rickey are hot teenage sex.

JT is trying to convince Rickey to return with him... something's about to hit the fan I believe...

ummm.. okay. DEADGIRL. That was very very very disturbing.

um, just watched the trailer to dead girl ....

it looks scary! i hope you're not watching it alone!

is there a scared gremlin???

I was alone but I'm not easily scared.... though I am easily grossed out!

re: DEADGIRL, I'd say give it a watch... but be prepared for ANYthing. And absolutely under no circumstances would I ever let anyone under 18 see it.

I told you. It's not for eveyone. I felt dirty after watching it. LOL

wow
Deadgirl, i saw the box but i dont think i ever picked it up and read the back, thanks for the heads up.
For me, Undead sucked, its talked about in horror forums for years but i couldnt get through it.
There is a zombie i may or maynot have mentioned, Day X, dont worry it sucked beyond belief and especially the ending.

just watched, day of the dead, was pretty funny, liked it.

an 'all star cast' he he

i think it's my fave of the george romeros so far. well see when survival hits rental.

all star cast?
in the original?
i know the remake had Ving Rhames, the dude from ER i think(not the wyle or clooney) and sarah polley

ha! i guess i saw the remake. oops.

it also had mr. mariah carey.

and mena suvari.

I liked the remake too, Peebs!

i believe that would be
Day of the dead- contagion or something
had Ving Rhames and the chick from american beauty mena suvari.
i did not enjoy that movie, and is in no way associated with Romero.
DAWN was the remake where the zombies ran and our heroes were held up in a mall, remake of the original DAWN with the same premise but slow moving zombies.

ah. i saw that one too. the mall one. prefered 'day'. except those were zombie ninjas with super speed and those kids never stood a chance.


uh thanks labradorian, i'm often silly like that.

actually i messed up, i got all the movies right, i just misread your original post where you stated you watched
Day of the dead, i read it as dawn, so we have been carrying on this thread for my silliness.
I believe any movie that sucks just needs zombies in it.

I know, where have I been right? But I just saw RESIDENT EVIL for the first time on HBO.

I thought it was pretty cool.

I love all the Resident Evil movies and am looking forward to the next one. I am not a Resident Evil game player, so I do not have any issue with deviations from the storyline of the games...besides it's a different medium and who constantly wants to see the same exact thing in different mediums. Some things work in print, comics, movies or games...but not in all three.

Just watched SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD On Demand...

There was same really bad acting and a Hatfields/McCoys scenario that was borderline ridiculous, but there also were some interesting ideas presented.

grade: D+/C-

Don't fret if you miss this one.

i figured it would suck, but i've seen all of Romero's zombie movies and i gotta see this one.

OK this came from Netflix today:

AUTUMN

Paraphrased synopsis:

Plague devestates the world... group of survivors soon realize dead are reanimating... Survivors find their wits and limits tested as they try to reconstruct a civilization worth fighting for while eluding the predators who are getting more intelligent every day.

Popping it in now.

review later.

AUTUMN: this was low budget and I grade on a curve for that.

While I really really like the premise of seeing the zombies become more intelligent as the movie goes along, where the filmaker fails is in the inconsistency of the threat.

Even grading on the low budget curve, and with the interesting premise, those awful inconsistencies drop the grade to a D-/D.

If a little bit more thought had been put into how the zombies should be portrayed as they evolved and how dangerous they should be at any given moment, I think this would have pulled in a C+/B- on the low budget curve.

DEAD SET

I enjoyed this when it was broadcast recently on IFC, though it contained an almost unbeleivably stupid move at the end...


SPOILER FOLLOWS HERE!!!!


Dude: Opening a gate by hand that has a thousand high-speed zombies clawing at it? Did you REALLY think you would make it back into your van several feet away? STUPID!

I saw that last year dirrectly from the UK. You have to look at the guy who did it. Yes, it was unbeleivably stupid, but that is how he was played through the whole show so not that surprising. The girl in the confession booth is what got me.

I felt like she had just given up at that point. She couldn't beat 'em so she joined 'em, maybe?
