Hated Corpses, but really dug Rejects.The only thing I dont like about Zombie's movies is that he takes one of his greatest strengths too far: the art direction.Hes into so many different retro and nostalgia fetishes that he feels he needs to cram every inch of the frame with em. Thats great for eye candy, but sucks me right out of the story. Even the dirt looks stylized. Again, it looks cool but it makes everything look a little too "perfect" and that makes it hard for me to really get into the story.
You do know that John Russo, who produced Return of the Living Dead, was the co-writer of the original Night, right? You do also know that Romero and Russo gave each other full rights to make sequels to Night... Per their agreement, Return of the Living Dead is just as much canon as any of Romero's films. Romero did NOT sue the makers of the movie.

Well I'm glad at least you understand the fruitless efforts of remaking a great film.

Not really.. Romero sued the makers of that movie. Anyone truly faithful to Romero would side with him over the hacks that made the Return series.

Don't worry he isn't touching that movie. He is releasing a new one. No one is doing anything to the original Halloween.
