The follow on is even more stranger and in it's own way is better and bigger in scope.

There's no such thing as 'useless' trivia!

^^^ The conversation.

Agreed. Awesome movie and it really kicks off in the films last act. That ending is sublime with the camera moves. The sound design is superb too.

There is, but that's not to say it can't be interesting.

Haha, I noticed the accent confusion, that was actually pretty entertaining, and it was also funny to see the amount of work they put into Frank's appearance and the monsters but how terrible the animation was in the scenes when she used the box, that orange light was a joke. I liked it, but I don't know if I'll be watching it again anytime soon.

I totally agree with this. One of my favorite horror movies growing up and I still really like it but when I watched recently I found the whole American accents in Britain issue really distracting. I can't fathom why the filmmakers thought that was a good idea.

The age old story of studio interference. The second film was mostly directed by Barker too but he took his name from the credits and the rest of the film was finished by the credited director due to yet more studio interference. Shame as there are some real standout moments in the second film.

I liked it! I went in knowing it was supposed to be silly. It was entertaining and funny. Extra points for the pure fact that it had zombies in it, and more extra points for zombies in slow motion.

I really hope this one is good as I love zombie films but I have seen so many that it's gotta be a little different from the norm for me.

It's a very fun movie, you know what ya gonna get from the trailer, plus a nice guest star who steals the movie almost. I do, however, call shenanigans on it being a zombie movie.

I saw that the other day too. I thought it was alright, and pretty funny, but too short.
