There's somehtign about teh scene with the meathook that still affects me. The cheapness of the production only serves to highlight it, as the scumminess of the film stock, coupled with the hand held footage seems to add a level of realism to it somehow. I just saw the remake last night and it's a strange thing. Watchable, but, well if I have time tonight I may just have to review it.

You'll find the same 70's editing, some funny-scary shit BUT with character development. The focus is more on the behaviour of the people instead of the wandering zombies.

Maybe you could try 'Deutsche Kettens'gen Massaker'. It's similar (DUH!), but sprinkled with a bit of crappy political morale. I only saw part of it. He said 'saw' , huh ... huh Still haven’t seen it. Maybe you could try ‘Deutsche Kettens’gen Massaker’. It’s similar (DUH!), but sprinkled with a bit of crappy political morale.
