NotLD was in black and white which really worked in the movie's favor. If it was in color I imagine the zombie make-up would have looked less realistic and it would have been laughable.
Even though Dawn of the Dead was a classic you have to admit that the zombie make-up looked unrealistic as fuck. They looked like a bunch of blue smurfs. 
Then came Day of the Dead and you could tell Tom Savini put a lot of extra work into the zombie make-up. They looked realistically rotted with dirty tattered clothes and it was believable that the movie was set a few years after the zombies took over the world.
But now in the new zombie movies they seem to use CGI effects for zombies. I miss the old days when they used make-up. Some of the make-up effects looked really good like in Lucio Fulci's Zombie and there were a few slight flaws but that didn't stop me from getting immersed in those movies.  |
LOL! Yes, some of those blue makeup jobs in Day of the Dead did make them look smurfy. Much better in Day. And in Zombi it was very effective.
Some of the CGI blood squirts in Walking Dead, and other productions, are just comical. Might as well just throw some sharks flying through the air.
