To me it's right up there with the first two, even though I don't like the whole "Bob" story.<br /><br />I told my brother-in-law to buy it, but it was still nice of him! It was pretty cheap too. I also have the first UK Blu-ray Editions of Dawn & Day from Arrow. They were among my first Blu-rays and I got them cheap as well, but they too are out of print I think. If you see them somewhere for a reasonable price, don't hesitate, they're fantastic! I dread the day I finally go regionfree...all these Scream Factory releases and the temptation to stupidly double.dip...<br /><br />-MLPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371599223788718176.post-51021925490651718562015-02-04T08:05:03.258-06:002015-02-04T08:05:03.258-06:00Well!

I've got a two disc set and I've been eyeballing the Scream Factory bluray.<br /><br />Your brother in law got you The Ultimate Edition?! That is amazing and he is obviously the best brother in law ever. I believe it's out of print. I have a copy myself.<br /><br />I like the Dawn remake too. Don't tell Richard.

As a fellow lover of lists I'm sometimes tempted to put Night above it (for historical significance) or even Day (which is the one I revisit the most, because, well, I love it), but if there can only be one, it must be Dawn!<br /><br />I had a bumpy/delayed start with Dawn myself. When I first started university, my friend and I would rent horror movies all the time, which was actually a new thing for me. I wasn't that much into movies outside of Jim Jarmusch, some arthouse/high brow cult stuff and, err, 80s teen films. The problem is that many of the horror/splatter classics are still banned here and only available in very cut forms. So one day I got a weird super-cut from Austria or Denmark which combined the Argento and the Romero cut. I didn't know any better. It was awful. The color tone of the zombies changed with every other scene, the movie was looong and weird. Still, I was intrigued and my brother-in-law bought me the nice 4-DVD set when he was in the US. I started reading up on the internet and learned some stuff along the way. Perhaps I saw the remake first (which I liked), I can't really remember, but the original Dawn and Shaun, which I had the luck to stumble across very early, were the impetus to check out more horror films, both serious and campy.<br /><br />Here's to the ultimate zombie film!!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MLPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
