LAND OF THE DEAD (2005)

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Yeah, it really was--surprisingly so. I had heard it was a slow film--but really it just took its time a bit. It's by no means slow. It has a story and even some character development and a nice story.

Technically any good? The acting is pretty reasonable for a zombie flick and the story, while thin, is thicker than the stories of most crappy horror flicks these days. There's way more going on here than just people surviving zombies. There's actually some decent social commentary here along with bringing something new to the genre of zombie film. FX were real nice, too.

How did it leave me feeling? Pretty satisfied and interested in seeing what happens in the future. Maybe not to these characters, but Romero has created an interesting chain of storylines that exist more or less in the same universe. Interesting stuff and fun gore, too. :)

Final Rating? SIYL (it's a zombie film, so it's not for everyone, but if you enjoy a storyline with your gore, check this one out.)
