Land of the Dead by George A. Romero (USA)



I thought I should wait until I've watched a proper version before blogging this, but fuck it. I was quite pissed off when I watched this at the theater since they cut out or cut short all the good stuff, that is, the gore. Argh, censorship. I only realised about it after paying for the ticket.

Being a Romero movie, the camp was certainly there, and it is appreciated. The mood and cinematography was excellent. I'm not going into the subtext/social commentary since I'm not such a great fan of Romero and don't think I really understand most of that stuff anyway. Anthony Hopkins was awesome, and so was that guy who was in Spun, Leguizamo. Needs more brain-eating action.

3.5/5 stars
