To be honest, I thought all four leads acted very well and they made me care about each one.<br /><br />I've missed our chats these past few weeks so I look forward to hearing from you and of course, writing to you.

Stephen (my name sake) is a pain throughout most of the movie, but I dunno, somehow I really liked the part he played and especially the acting.<br /><br />Finally, after a long Christmas and New Year, with family staying right through the duration... then a bad storm which wiped out my router; a week`s rest to recover from the rigours of playing host to so many, and I`m finally almost back on track.

LOL!<br />The remake of Dawn of the Dead was competent but not a patch on the original. In SFX's poll of the top 100 zombie movies of all time the original Dawn of the Dead came top.

I too have seen this film, and will undoubtedly be damned by saying I thought the modern day remake was good, and different, as well. Once again however you've cause my wallet some pain as I'm going to have to pick this set of minis up from "Studio Miniatures" if they're available at Salute!!<br /><br />I was someone surprised though that as you mention "Classic" horror films, you failed to mention the zombie flick we both love to bits called "World War Z"; an oversight on your part perhaps? ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-33431413279128395932016-01-13T15:22:19.438+00:002016-01-13T15:22:19.438+00:00Thanks, Ray.

It is still every bit as relevant today as it was back then and its influence on the whole genre cannot be overstressed. <br /><br />The Evil Dead was, and still is, a classic horror film. Bear in mind there was no CGI special effects in the 1980's.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-77673007064275348352016-01-13T11:07:01.239+00:002016-01-13T11:07:01.239+00:00Ooh and the Evil Dead, awesome era for scary movie...Ooh and the Evil Dead, awesome era for scary movies (the 80's) Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-41915014620604551432016-01-13T11:05:50.796+00:002016-01-13T11:05:50.796+00:00I love this film and have seen it loads of times! ...I love this film and have seen it loads of times! Probably the first zombie film I ever saw, although not in 1979 (I was 6!) when we got our first Vhs recorder in the 80's this was one of the first films my parents rented.
