Thank god.<br /><br />A return to 1970s counter-culture horror without the slick studio gloss would be nice.<br /><br />Maybe this will do the trick for Romero.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-86371668730856520762009-09-10T11:01:58.029-04:002009-09-10T11:01:58.029-04:00Technically, it looks low rent, but the trailer ha...Technically, it looks low rent, but the trailer has piqued my interest. The setting is interesting -- an island or cove? And my ears pricked up at the line about getting the dead to eat something other than humans. I didn't dislike DIARY, but I despised LAND. I will see it. Interesting to see so many older cast members, too.Phantom of Pulphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684169251989469824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-51020918026896717772009-09-10T08:48:10.851-04:002009-09-10T08:48:10.851-04:00In my opinions, 'Survival' looks like the ...In my opinions, 'Survival' looks like the absolute most bottom of the barrel, straight to DVD film I've seen in quite some time. I am incredibly disappointed by this trailer.<br /><br />I know it's unfair to judge a book by its cover, but if that footage is the best representation of what the studio/Romero thinks the film has to offer, colour me unimpressed to say the least.gordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955994070918697381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-3082289637897735722009-09-10T01:07:58.144-04:002009-09-10T01:07:58.144-04:00Though it's not clearly AS strictly a horror f...Though it's not clearly AS strictly a horror film as Survival of the Dead, Werner Herzog's My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done is also in competition this year. <br /><br />Also, REC 2 had its world premiere last week at the Venice, but it was not in competition.Peter Hallhttp://horrorsnotdead.comnoreply@blogger.com
