One man's Texas Chain Saw Massacre is another man's Resident Evil - you can draw artistic comparison if you're older, but I still get a semi-on when the superb Escape From Witch Mountain comes on TV and won't have anyone tell me different despite the fact that the recent Angry Anal #49 might be a "better" film.

Of course if you're born in 1970, you could just have very bad taste.

:D


actually - despite the obvious mental shortcomings of this individual - if you were to base a film on 'realistic content' i guess i could see how someone could appreciate that a lab would come up with something to start an undead holocaust rather than 'something from space'

not sure why people bash '28 days later' either - it's a fine film.
