Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Media Pool The "Survivors Cut" aka Benefit for the Living Dead was favorably reviewed by Cinescape, Dread Central, Creature Corner, MoviesOnline and websites globally.I worked with the remix-artist Lachiusa, and his intent was only to demonstrate his editing abilities. Tom Savini enjoyed the remix.The 72 minute Survivor's Cut was never meant to challenge the Romero work, rather it augments the original by providing a contemporary re-imagination.It was offered for free by Prelinger's Archive website and over 3,000 copies were downloaded in a few weeks. The film was removed (May 2005) because the Archive audience asked for a higher resolution version and something other than a Real Media file. Lachiusa asked Romero's agent and then later writer John Russo to pick up the task of re-mastering and distribution, but this never happened.To this date: Lachiusa's "Neo-Cine" remastering features more saturated colors and highlights digital-dolly-moves and new camera angles, but this version has never been distributed.
theknuckleduster I have several renditions and versions of this film, colorized, 25th and 30th anniversaries but this is by far the worst attempt at a remix. This films tries to hard to be on the verge of "artsy". Watching it gave me headaches and trauma that I'll never get over. First let me start about the intro. The guy that remixed it gives an intro on how the probe was launched into space and how it was destroyed. Anyone with half a brain cell can figure that out and thats part of the mystery. How did the zombies come back to life, where did they come from, who is behind it? Second, the same guy adds some psychedelic crap and makes it seem like your on a bad acid trip. Then we have the "NEW!!!" camera angles. All that consists of is taking parts of the film and flipping them around. This remix is a joke and I really recommend staying FAR away.
