Message or Meaning! (24 movies items)

" The message: Zombies have come from out the graves, and are to feed on you and me, and nothing can stop them from eating your brains. Delicious yummy brains! How to prevent zombie outbreak the Reagan way? Basically like the end of Land of Confusion music video. Also, it was started by hazardous toxic waste material, that ended up being opened up. Oops."

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Was supposed to attend in 2021, but had to control myself, so this has obviously been slightly worn a few more times since then. Diagonal scratches, a hint of fade throughout and numerous cuts in the opening ten minutes, but nothing serious otherwise. Besides, a film like this calls for such faults.

"4.10. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Peruskoulun viimeisenä keväänä pitkällisen mehustelun jälkeen viimein pääsin tämän näkemään ja loukkaannuin, kun ei vastannut odotuksiani. Nyt hieman myöhemmin tämä vieläkin mielessä, tää olikin mitä mainiointa, salaa älykästä ja tasapainoista kauhukomediaa aivan mahtavilla tehosteilla ja musiikeilla. Asiat menee pienellä ihmisjoukolla enemmän ja enemmän vituiksi mennäkseen avun saavuttua vain yhä enemmän vituiksi. Tästä saa paljon "

"Re-watch - Oct. 24th This film tied in nicely with the one above thanks to both films featuring not just a cemetery but one that has resurrection in its name. I still love that this film is born from the idea that Night of the Living Dead was a fictional account of true events, allowing it to put its own spin on the genre. Plus it's fun from start to finish. I still wouldn't go so far as to call it great, but I'll gladly revisit it a few more times in the years ahead."
