To be honest, I had a hard time believing the hype on this in the first place just because if there's one sub-genre that seems to attact more than it's fair share of garbage, it's low budget zombie movies. There's not much middle ground - either it's going to be a classic or it's going to be unwatchable.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-62861224005003504092009-10-13T16:13:33.301-04:002009-10-13T16:13:33.301-04:00Vishnu: I feel the same way, fun well done gore ca...Vishnu: I feel the same way, fun well done gore can go a long way and can take my focus off of a films not-so-good qaulities, but there wasnt enough to save A.T. for me.<br /><br />I already have an idea to review another movie that is probably of a lower budget to do a comparison of how a indie/low budge film should be done. I won't name it, but the other movies that these guys do, while not being great or anything, are at least fun, and have some passion behind them. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by Vish!<br /><br />POT: Barry Manilow is mad tight son!<br /><br />I just couldnt get over the numerous problems with the movie...if the filming style was because of budgetary reasons, maybe I would have been okay with that aspect...but they did that shit on purpose?! It drove me nuts. And the ending was a slap on the cock, which normally I would enjoy, but not when the pain doesn't get rubbed away immediately after!<br /><br />Emily: This is one of the very few times I blind bought a movie that I didn't know anything about, but Dimension Extreme has a pretty good track record, and I can see why they picked this one up when Fango and BD blew loads all over it. Still, I got beat for however much I spent on it and now I'm stuck with it.<br /><br />And what you said about genre nodes is spot on...I would much rather have a character named Hugo Stiglitz where a few may get it, or get it down their movie watching road, than naming your character Jason Voorhees!Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-58926417022031886372009-10-13T15:50:58.344-04:002009-10-13T15:50:58.344-04:00I've stopped blind renting/buying indie zombie...I've stopped blind renting/buying indie zombie films for this very reason. There's just too much crap out there. I'll let Brother D. at Mail Order Zombie sort it out and try what he recommends.<br /><br />As far as those allusions to genre cinema goes, I find that anything near obvious is just annoying. Even something like The Dead Next Store having characters named "Romero" just seems too easy. If you're making nods to genre films, trust that the part of the audience that will get the jokes don't need everything spelled out for them. It's something Shawn of the Dead does extremely well.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-4647949735064671812009-10-13T15:39:10.008-04:002009-10-13T15:39:10.008-04:00*mindless*mindlessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-23843556126936455302009-10-13T15:38:28.476-04:002009-10-13T15:38:28.476-04:00Meh, I liked it for the sheer mindeless fun factor...Meh, I liked it for the sheer mindeless fun factor (although I was pissed by the ending).
