I thought Shaun of the Dead was so lame. But that's just me.

I think the original was better on a more psychological level where the remake had the horror of these kids' situation in your face. The original kept the gore at a minimum so that your own imagination could fill in some of the blanks. Sometimes it is better that way. Your mind might come up with something ten times better than the script writer. The remake showed the gore in a higher content because it seems to me alot of people don't want to think about what they are seeing, just let the movie play it out for them.

god awful in ways i cannot begin to describe - i wanted to shove popcorn in my eyes

Thats something else I dont agree with...


The original took place mostly during the day, most notably the final chase. This is one of my favourite things about the film, how it can still be a disturbing film without the aide of darkness's unknown terrors. The remake, on the other hand, took place largly in the dark of night, which took away much of the mystique, in my opinion.

wow, i was going to apply for a local blockbuster soon. free rentals? do you get any discounts when you buy?
and yeah, the remake of TCM was good, it's worth buying. why are people against remakes so badly? i understand, when i see crap like the fog and house of wax hit theaters but the amityville horror remake was great, same with TCM.

10 free rentals a week, 20% discount, can watch flicks the week before they come out

i'm not a fan of a lot of remakes b/c i love the originals so much, it seems pointless. it'd be a lot nicer if more time was spent developing NEW movie concepts that recycling old ones. just an opinion

ahh thats great. i think ill get an application next time im there

Well worth getting especially if your a big fan of TCM! I liked it almost as much as the orginal but Ive always liked the orginals over the remakes anyway. Definitely check it out.

Ugh, I spent nearly 50$ on this movie. Bought it blindly, for the sheer reason of having heard TCM was good, and hearing a little of the plot from my mother of the originals. I regret it, and I want my money back. 50$ is a lot, and it wasn't even the collector's set. Bastard rip-off stores.

I thought it was ok, but the original is better.
