I think what I was getting at here is that Snyder's fast zombies broke from Romero's tradition, which dates back to the late 60's when he released Night of the Living Dead.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Baron: Thanks. I hope I didn't sound too pretentious in this essay but I sincerely believe that there's a lot more going on in Dawn of the Dead than just zombie mayhem. There's a reason why many critics consider it one of the finest horror films of all time. It's also a lot of fun, too (what red-blooded horror fan doesn't watch the biker-zombie conflict at the end with glee?)Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-85872954318843886282009-02-28T01:19:00.000-05:002009-02-28T01:19:00.000-05:00Excellent analysis.

We can only hide for so long in our guilded cage.<BR/><BR/>Yikes!Mr Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502432352346301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-55022362438702466352009-02-26T12:58:00.000-05:002009-02-26T12:58:00.000-05:00If we say that 28 Days Later is not a "zombie" mov...If we say that 28 Days Later is not a "zombie" movie, we can still look at 1984's Return of the Living Dead for running zombies.JimLotFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992397707040836366noreply@blogger.com
