The only problems with this movie are that the script is poor and that it doesn’t have any good actors (which is a pretty big problem, seeing as how it’s a movie and all).
I mean, some of them are ok…but a few REALLY suck.
But the IDEAS are brilliant…Romero just isn’t a very good dialogue writer. At least, for every movie ’til ‘Land’. And after ‘Land’.
The gory nastiness has improved in “quality” from ‘Dawn’, if you care about that.
The only really notable acting performances (for being good) are Dr. Frankenstein and Bub. Franky-baby is a thoroughly convincing insane genius. And he, and his activities, lift the movie up a bit in terms of thought-provocation and level of interest. Everything else is pretty much irrelevant given the existence of ‘Night’, ‘Dawn’, and ‘Land’.
Inspirationally Cheezy Scene: “Dramatic” standoff complete with EXCITING music.
Grade: C
