Yawn of the Dead

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2004)

oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...
this movie started off pretty good. the pre-opening titles scenes were great and really built up the old anticipation levels. the title sequence itself was rubbish - Johnny Cash for christ sakes !?! after that it got rubbish very quickly. at about the appearance of "stereotypical shaved-headed black guy no. 2", i realised that in fact this was going to be a cliched, MTV-generation non-event movie after all. damn shame too. the scariest thing about this movie? Tom Savini - he looks EXACTLY the same as he did in the original DotD. that's 25 years old - is Tom actually undead or something? Last word - the soundtrack is absolutely pitiful. some really poor tracks were layered over this movie. WHY !?!?!?! please, please, please, when in another 25 years someone makes another remake of this film, can they put some effort into it and make it GOOD !?!
