The Crazies (Blu-ray)

February 3rd, 2010 admin

Highly Recommended Blue Underground’s high-definition debut of director George A. Romero’s The Crazies (1973) is well-timed: a $20 million remake will be released almost simultaneously. The original film is quite ambitious, intelligent, and well crafted considering its low ($275,000) budget. It lacks the raw power of Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968) and the polish of Dawn of the Dead (1968…

Survival of the Dead: Ultimate Undead Edition (Blu-ray Review)
Survival is a Dud Oh how far the mighty have fallen. I don’t think it’s unfair to say that pioneering horror director George A. Romero’s ( Fill in the Blank ) of the Dead zombie film franchise has gotten incrementally worse from one period to the next. Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Dawn of the Dead (1978) are both veritable horror classics...

Living Landscapes: Bali (Blu-ray Review)
This early release in the Living Landscapes series is interesting, though it lacks some of the polish of later releases. Remember the old disaster movie Krakatoa, East of Java ? Perhaps you’re old enough to remember that after the film had been released some geography bee winner informed the film’s makers that Krakatoa was actually west of Java,... 
Zombieland (Blu-ray Review)
“This land is my land, this land is Zombie land.” This is now the United States of Zombieland. Poor zombies. All they want to do is eat, and they’re slaughtered for it. The living dead crave a liver, the dying living crave a Twinkie. Is there no justice? Is there any difference? Dead is dead is dead is dead. Livers, Twinkies, at... 
Crazies (Blu-ray Review)
Would collectors be crazy not to add this classic low-budget Romero flick to their high-def collections? ‘Trixie’ is going to spread through this entire town.

Paranormal Activity (Blu-ray Review)
Is the hype warranted? You cannot run from this . Sometimes, big things come in small packages. Paranormal Activity , the latest micro-budget film to make it big, is a one-trick cinematic pony that lacks the glitz and glamour of its high-dollar brethren but beats out many of its contemporaries where it counts the most: simple know-how. With a reported...
