Who is going to see this movie? Is similar to Dawn of the Dead or Night of The Living Dead? Dead people chasing after people trying to kill them...

What you think?

i saw that movie about 3 months ago. I loved it. Its a sequal too the Dawn Of the Dead(the old one).

But the essense of the first movies is still in it, a lot of horror. And dennis hopper.

Of course, what would you expect from the guy who thought up the genre?

I'm a big fan of Romero's work. The original Night of the Living Dead was a claustrophic masterpiece. His follow-up, Dawn of the Dead, was a tense and interesting horror. In 1985, he gave us Day of the Dead, my favourite in his original trilogy, which was just a dark, depressing horror movie which 'ended' the trilogy nicely.

I have faith that Land of the Dead will be another masterpiece. Just beware of imitations.

I've seen it. Pretty graphic

Any other views on it, Kyle?

EDIT - I've seen the movie. It was good, but not spectacular (and certainly not as graphic as 1985's Day of the Dead). It had it's moments and was quite good, but they didn't make good use of some concepts (such as the rich guy controlling the little people), and the film could have done with a bit more character development. But it's not the worst film in the world, and certainly worth 90 minutes of your time.
