Whoa. Came back today and this was given its own thread. Pretty sure I posted in an already-existing thread on this movie.

No problem, if a mod moved it (which I am assuming is what happened, unless someone dosed me with a Lords record without me knowing it).

I was telling a friend of mine about it last night and, I feel, if the movie was foreign (specifically Italian), then people would be nutting all over themselves about it. But since it is an American film in English, a lot of people seem to think it's garbage.

To put a finer point on it, if this was an Argento film it would be hailed as the return of the Master.

In my opinion, Zombie could almost be compared to Tarantino, in that a lot of times he seems to "make movies about movies". The largest influences here (imo) being Argento, Jodorowsky, and Ken Russell.

Certainly, there were moments that I groaned aloud, but overall, at least he did something new, and I will always applaud someone stepping out of their comfort zone and not just continuing to jump on the remake train.
