Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation Poster and new Trailer!

Couple weeks back I blogged about Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation. At the time there was just an "ok" trailer and no Poster art. Well, it's as if they were reading my blog because now there is a wonderful poster and a newer, more Jeffrey Combsesque, trailer for all of us to enjoy!

The Poster

HOLY FUCKING FUCK! Wishmaster and Herbert West with mustaches.

The newer, better trailer:

SUMMER 2012!!?? GODAMMIT!!!

Night of the Living Dead 3D Part -1

Anybody remember the 2006 remake that you can ONLY watch in 3D with Sid Haig? That one that NOBODY liked. (At least that's what I hear. Its been sitting on my shelf for awhile and I really should get to watching it so I can judge for myself.) Well...it's got a prequel coming.

And I don't care what anyone says. This movie is gonna be amazing. You know why? Because it has Herbert West and the Wishmaster in it. Jeffrey Combs and Andrew Divoff.

Does it get any better than that?

Synopsis:

After inheriting the family mortuary, a pyrophobic mortician (ANDREW DIVOFF) accidentally exposes hundreds of uncremated bodies to toxic medical waste. As the corpses re-animate, the mortician’s inheritance-seeking younger brother (JEFFREY COMBS) unexpectedly shows up, stumbling upon a full zombie outbreak!

Nice! You know what this means don't you!? DON'T YOU!? This means that we have a possible WISHMASTER VS. HERBERT WEST SCENARIO HERE!! OH. MY. YES. It's the movie we've always known we never knew we wanted to exist.

Oh yeah, here's the Sarah Palin rippin, Zombie Fridge Baby, seriously lacking Combs/Divoff trailer.

I need. To see. This movie.

BAD MOVIE REVIEW: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Watching this film is just a new experience every time I see it. Often times I forget the little things that make up the big picture. That's what this movie is all about. It takes little tidbits here and there, subtle satire, and a gloomy atmosphere and creates something that is just incredible. To define it is a challenge. Night of the Living Dead is many things...a horror film, a political statement, a kick in the seat of society. It is not any one thing...but if there was just a word to define this movie, it would be...timeless.

Night of the Living Dead will live on as a turning point in zombie horror. It put a clear cut stamp on defining WHAT a zombie is. How they move, where they come from, how they act. All of the things that make a zombie in this movie show up in almost EVERY zombie movie ever made from here on out. Sure you can twist the rules a bit, but in the end its the same old "Romero" zombie.

This movie will live on in the hearts of the fans. It lives with the cult heroes, the classic horror films, and even the mainstream. There are an almost countless supply of various versions of this film. Available on vhs or dvd, this film is almost always included on any horror classics box set. I personally have the Fox Entertainment remastered version that has the original black and white version with a new restored COLOR version. I love color. I think it adds more to a movie. I can understand what and why the film is so classic being in black and white...but I just enjoy color films more.

I have a hard time at finding the "little" things that are hidden in a story. But I did find one thing right at the end that I found interesting. (spoiler!) When Ben is shot at the end by the tribe of cops and townspeople. It just goes to show you what our society is like. Shoot now...ask questions later. No real question of if that might be a real person...just shoot him and lets move on with it. (spoiler end!) Also the fact that the lead character is black. I think that's awesome...and ballsy for the time it was done. It's a great turning point to see that racism is not a factor with Romero. A lot of his leads are black men. With Dawn of the Dead, Ken Foree (AWESOME actor) plays the lead guy. He is the only one I could connect with due to the fact that he is the only one that had a clear head on his shoulders. He didn't know what was going on exactly...but he made due with what he had. I love it.

Night of the Living Dead is the granddaddy of popular zombie films of today. Almost every zombie film to date has its roots buried in this film. George Romero has created a genuinely great horror film. There is little in between that even shakes the ground in the zombie genre...well that is until you see the sequel.
