I believe there was "Sleep Away Camp 2" as well.<BR/>Ring any bells anyone!?<BR/>I just remember the girl standing on the beach at the end naked....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-55738979949843595702008-01-09T16:15:00.000-05:002008-01-09T16:15:00.000-05:00Gotta get yourself a black and white TV to watch y...Gotta get yourself a black and white TV to watch your horror on, I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-8950440382022483912008-01-09T09:01:00.000-05:002008-01-09T09:01:00.000-05:00Yup, the remake was definitely fun, and it had qui...Yup, the remake was definitely fun, and it had quirky-excellent characters. Incidentally, the writer (James Gunn) went on to write and direct "Slither," which has the same sort of characterization (in a good way).<BR/><BR/>He also wrote the two "Scooby-Doo" movies, which I'm now admitting I enjoyed.<BR/><BR/>When I think of the "Dawn of the Dead" remake, I think "sickly yellow." I'm becoming extremely concerned with the colour balance in these movies.Adam Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634565262440008573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32999748.post-17726579908675066152008-01-08T16:45:00.000-05:002008-01-08T16:45:00.000-05:00I really liked it.

In particular, the movies that assured me that horror wasn't doomed to be a lame genre forever: 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later.<BR/><BR/>Also, a recent movie that managed to walk the horror/comedy line was 'Shaun of the Dead'!Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036864398303518556noreply@blogger.com
