The Land of the Dead

[Laffy]

Noticed it has been given a 15 certificate by the BBFC???? Thought it was meant to be very very gory?

 

[imported_miley_fan]

I'm guessing it's not big on sex and nudity though

 

[chopper]

No it's not big on sex and nudity, but it's just as gory though.

 

[Skyler--That Grey Box]

I was there, was great to meet Simon & Edgar (and the zombie twins!!)

And as for the movie itself, great stuff - some fantastic zombie moments in there, and Dennis Hopper is my favourite Romero baddie. Also Simon & Edgar's cameo is great!

No idea how it's just a 15, though!!!

 

[GuitarKid]

Hope it hasn't been cut. I noticed that The Cave is being billed as a horror but is only a 12A. I'll stick with The Descent, thanks.

 

[spazzdaily]

Ahh the descent was great fun, my girlfriend dug her nails right through my jeans and into my leg during that movie, afterwarRAB told me never to take her to see a film like that again..

... i have to go and watch " the perfect catch" with her this weekend

I loved Osymyso's DJ set beforehand

Loved the film, the "clever" zombie and some great decapitations, although it didn't seem as gory as Day of the Dead. Didn't spot Simon Pegg's cameo either

And as for the event, my bum is still numb from sitting on the cobbles for over 5 hours. Worth it though

Simon & Edgar's cameo:

Spoiler

They were the two chained-up zombies the girl was getting her photo taken with, in the club.

There was a little cheer for them, but they were so heavily made-up I think most people didn't recognise them!

As for Osymyso - I didn't realise it was him at first and started thinking "he's copying Osymyso!".

 

[Awareness]

That's City of the Dead, this is another one.

 

[DJ Warp Shadow]

Aaah! Thanks, i'll look out for them next time

[Danish Deshmukh]

I've seen the movie trailer and the film looks excellent. I remember the remake of Dawn Of The Dead which i thought was a great film apart from the ending.

 

[nae_butt]

I cant wait to see this in the cinema and then I will defiantly buy it on Region 1 DVD as I really want to see "When Shaun met George" feature on the DVD!

George Romero is on Simon Mayo's Five Live show today. It's broadcasting from the cricket match at Trent Bridge.

Wonder what Romero will make of cricket? It might give him a few ideas for his next film: "Test match of the dead" Some would say you wouldn't be able to tell the difference

 

[What It Do Homiez?]

Well zombies and cricket have one thing in common - stumps!

 

[Ecoman75]

I love Zombie movies. I'm off to watch 'Shaun of the dead' on Sky movies 1 now.

 

[chelschubz]

I saw it in the Edinburgh Film Festival; I liked it...in many ways its even more political than Romero's earlier Zombie flicks.

'Shaun of the Dead' was great. Hope it's shown again
