nothing wrong with liking a film for your own reasons ..
the reason why i didnt consider it a typical romero zombie film is ..
too slick - too many recognizable actors.
the past 'dead' films used unknown actors ..
I find that when i'm seeing people for the 1st time and cant tie them or compare them to previous roles it adds an air of credibility to the story. they become - to me anyway - more real because of this.
it added to the rawness of his films ... they were more edgy because the dialogue was looser "they're all messed up'
You never felt you were listening to a script
i didnt find that the social commentary was that clever in Land. it was pretty much in your face - the whole class structure thing - and nothing we havent seen before.
it just didnt feel like a romero film... it suffered from 'progression'
I dont mean the progression of the zombies .. although i dont think that was handled too well (zombie angst ...hmmm)
i mean the progression into a more professional looking film.
I think that hurts a zombie film ...
