Was it really necessary?
So for the third time in a row will the original stand tall?
Well, Im about to make that decision…
The remake relies heavily on jumps and arghh, its going to get him!
moments whereas the original is a lot slower paced, and is eerie rather than frightening.
Roger and Peter set about blocking the entrance to the mall using two large trucks.
However, during their attempt Roger is bitten by a zombie, and we all know what that means!
The effects and make-up in this film arent great, that I am happy to admit.
This doesnt make the film any less enjoyable, though.
Everything about this film is great.
But the truth is you cant call it cheesy or cliche because it was the first of its kind.
So now Im on to the remake, which right now has a lot to prove.
As I mentioned before, this film deviates in atmosphere from the original as well.
In the original they just seemed to hover around moaning.
In this they run, jump and scream, really changing the way the characters have to think.
The main cast is a lot larger than in the original, and grows as the film goes on.
However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this was not the case at all.
This is something that was definitely inspired by the original, and the remake pulls it off well.
The other survivors are quick to realise that Frank has been bitten and could turn at any moment.
Frank tells them that his whole family is dead, and he is all his daughter has left.
Things only get better from this point on.
My heart was pounding like mad by this point.
This film is brilliant, it really is.
It pleased me in every sense.
It took the basic idea from the original and turned it into something new.
This film has things for new fansandold fans.
So now for my toughest decision yet…
Which film is superior?
It looks like the remakes are catching up, but will they win again next time?
