31 Posts Of Halloween: Night Of The Living Dead


Night Of The Living Dead, is the classic zombie film, that everyone that likes zombie flicks should watch at least once!

So, this movie follows a group of people in a house as they try to survive the zombie hoard. The rules for the zombies in this film are different than the ones in most other zombie films today. And to be honest, I absolutely love how this movie portrays zombies!
They are smart enough to use some tools, but they have a fear of fire. They aren't completely mindless, but just dumb enough to be outsmarted, so long as there aren't to many of them.
Night Of The Living Dead came out in 1968, and had a budget of $114,000.00 or in today's dollars, $842,483.40. For film, being under a million in modern terms is cheap indie film budget, and this movie pulls it off perfectly with what it has to work with. It really is an impressive film given the time that it was made in.
George A. Romero, rest in piece, 1940 - 2017, was one of the master of horror and surmounted his name in the canon of legends of horror with this film. This was the first film that I saw of his, and now I want to watch more. The man was a legend.
I strongly recommend watching Night Of The Living dead this October. It would be perfect to watch on Halloween if you're looking to see a classic! I'm going to end this review with one of my now new favorite quotes, "They're coming to get you, Barbara!"


final score: 4/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
