Zack Snyder

The first five minutes of this movie are the only decent thing Snyder has ever released to the public. It's been all downhill ever since.

Thread reminder that original Dawn is unwatchable garbage, and unironically putting it in le greatest horror lists is the ultimate reddit fedoracore borrowed opinion marker.

It has one of the greatest trailers of all-time

what if your blood happens to have immunity to zombie virus? and so what if you turn into zombie? it's stupid, cowardly and dramaqueenery.

>>83867927

Thank you jesus

>>83868011

to avoid the bullshit of someone standing over him waiting to brain him but they hesitate because they wonder if he'll really turn or cant bring themselves to do it and then they get bit

>>83868111

noboby has to stand over you. go away from rest of survivors and if you don't turn into zombie then go tell someone who can use your blood to create a cure or vaccine.

you're dead. you won't feel pain.

why can't the guy who directed it replicate it thats the question.

because they're dramaqueens who shoot themselves in the head before they can find out that they're immune

most didnt kill themselves


also being a zombie sounds really shitty, and if your want a utilitarian view killing yourself is one less zombie for other survivors to worry about

To be honest, its a very diverse cast that actually have their own redemptions and stories. Even the shitty police guy that would just be a generic bad guy in other movies is redeemed. Its comfy, scary, funny, has that classic bad ending.

Dawn of the Dead (2004) is a piece of shit.

>>83867927
It's got tighter action/horror sequences, a tone that's completely unique among zombie movies, a cast that feel like human beings and I'll take Romero's under-directing style over Snyder's over-directing style any day. Every scene where human beings interact in (2004) feels like a bad joke.

>>83868458
Dead Rising is objectively the greatest piece of zombie media ever made that doesn't have the name 'Romero' or 'Fulci' in the credits. But now that I think about it they may have explicitly denied a connection to Romero in the credits. You get the point.

It's possible that that was just where corpses were being stashed and they were wanting to keep people away for sanitary containment, only to realize later there's zombies.

In the Romero universe, everyone that dies with an intact brain comes back as a zombie. There is no immunity to speak of. Not sure if the Snyder movie kept this as it never had a situation where someone died of a gunshot or anything not involving bites.

>>83869090
>It's pretty bad. Romero is an American treasure while Zac Snyder is an overcompensating closet homosex not fit to direct music videos.

I know you're baiting but I do agree that Romero is great and his movies are kino, even the worse ones. Still, Dawn of the Snyder edges itself just above the original for me in my top 5 of zambinokino. 3 of said top 5 are Romero films so that's saying something.

>and so what if you turn into a zombie?

The remake zombies are extremely fast and extremely strong. Considering they were getting on a small boat him turning would've been a disaster. The only person who could physically match him as a zombie is Uncle Phil the Cop, and it's possible he couldn't get a shot off in time.

Then again with Snyder's zombies like Romero's you die before you turn, so they could probably just watch him and wait and if he dies they know to brain him then toss him overboard.

>>83869114
I'm not baiting. The only Snyder movie I can stand is 300 because that movie so blatantly retarded and 'masculine' that his style suited it perfectly. I can't remember the exact context in which it was brought up but I remember in one of Sam Hyde's old vertical videos he puts on a middle-aged man's voice and says "My son owns 300 on Blu-Ray" in this really defeated voice, like he just found out he was gay or something. That one joke line with no context sums up how I feel about Snyder's work better than anything I could come up with. Snyder's such a dweeby little homo. 300 is dweeby little homo-kino.

As for Dawn, what does Snyder have over Romero, movie to movie? Romero's movie swings between tense action and dread-building downtime masterfully while Snyder's movie is such an abysmal clusterfuck that the last time I tried watching it I quit out of boredom and disgust 15 minutes in.

>>83869222
Characters in Land of the Dead are well aware that anyone who dies with an intact brain is capable of turning, and they take measures to try and prevent it.

I've been thinking about what makes this successful as opposed to other remakes for a long time actually, because I do like the movie, and I think it comes down to the fact that instead of playing it safe, the movie is fucking ridiculous from the beginning to the end. Like, it's almost like a zombie movie parody at times. But the reason it doesn't devolve into that is because of all the humor they put into it. It's actually kind of a perfect mix. I mean, it's still like a 7/10 because it's not exactly great, but the fact that everyone making this movie just went full throttle is something that I wish other remakes had emulated, because if they had, we could have had something great instead of all the shitty platinum dunes disasters.

Why didn't they just try to light the zombie horde on fire?
