So it's been over a year, but I'm back, at least for some time. Who know's however. As my brilliant title suggests, I just rewatched The mighty Uncle George A. Romero classic, "Dawn Of The Dead". However this was the Dario Argento version that was released in Europe and spawned Lucio Fulci's brilliant "sequel" Zombi 2. Well what can I say...and I'm a little embarressed that I am about to.
As much as I love the original, the one thing that always bugged me was the muzak. And I know, it was meant for camp value and adds to the dark humor, but it always seemed to be a weird juxtaposition of dismemberment and canabalism with pie fights. Argento, of course, hired The Goblin to create a score and it seems to fit much better with the absolute horror and bleakness that is being shown on the screen. If you are lucky enough to own the deluxe edition I would suggest that you take a day and watch all three versions and compare for yourself. Each film has it's own joy's and everyone, and I mean everyone, owe's it to themselves to experience one of horror's truly brilliant film's for themselves.
Coming up with a review of "Grace" so stay tuned....
