It's the earliest film I can think of that had zombie gutmunching in full color. And, the zombies are kind of fast: when you see them, they're shuffling slowly, but all of a sudden, they're right there.<br /><br />I'm dying to watch <i>Pieces</i> with a loved one, but I have a copy from one of those "tenfer" boxes, and I'm afraid to watch it. Too many of the other movies in that box are PG-cuts, with all the sex, violence, and storyline edited out. Not to mention, too dark to see anything. My first experience with <i>Pieces</i> needs to be special, and I can't settle for a version that I'll regret later on.dementia13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-11585679449261165462010-10-24T21:29:51.820-04:002010-10-24T21:29:51.820-04:00Everybody piles on "Night of the Demon" ...Everybody piles on "Night of the Demon" for showing the titular demon at the end, but I dunno...

Teleporting zombies just give me the willies, I guess. Also, on a zombie tip (oo-er!), I recently revisited 'Let Sleeping Corpses Lie' and was blown away. Years ago (and I'm talking 20+) I saw a butchered version and wasn't impressed as I was a young whipper snapper who just wanted to see more 'Dawn of the Dead' type action...oh, the follies of youth!Pokemon Postmonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-85561450952373174512010-10-24T17:50:01.683-04:002010-10-24T17:50:01.683-04:00The mention of Funny Games brings to mind that io9...The mention of <i>Funny Games</i> brings to mind that io9 article on the remake My New Plaid Pants linked a few days back.
