[Trailer] Dawn of The Dead

Another remake! :) From the trailer you can see who the target for the movie is but then it is not called a teaser for nothing.


It looks like slow moving zombies are out and fast one are in, which means to me higher brain functions. Zombies just are not what they use to be. :)
 

Sigh.

I'm unimpressed by the trailer.

It's funny, but it seems that as the technology/make-up/camerawork improves, the scare factor goes down. 28 Days Later was supposed to be scary, wasn't it? It had a couple of jolts, but creating a jolt is simple enough, you just have the screen change suddenly and crash a big loud chord at the audience. I mean, for a zombie picture that was patently unscary. Likewise for Resident Evil.

The original Dawn of the Dead is one scary movie. Slow-moving zombies are scarier than agile, wire-work-y, cgi-enhanced zombies. Same thing with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. It's prettier and all, but nowhere near as scary.

For Hallowe'en we watched The Exorcist and The Changeling -- especially the latter one is remarkable for how much creepiness it generates without any big effects, screaming teenagers or smoothly-gliding lateral pans past people looking at something offscreen.
 



Why is everything so clean in new movies? I mean, the party of soon-to-become-zombie-food gets the news by standing in a dark room with no furniture and a dozen tv-sets? It looks like the laboratory cleaning crew just left.

In Razorfish the hacker-dude sits in a dark room with no furniture save a crazy aluminium frame adorned with a dozen flatscreens. You could crawl around in a white cotton overall without so much as a forensic sized fibre sticking to you.

And why o why do you need more than one screen?
 

Well you don't need more than one screen, but since they seem to be in a mall it makes sense as the electronics store would likely have a lot of tv's all tuned to the same thing, like pretty much every electronics store I've ever been in.
