One of my all time favorites.
As Good As It Gets
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
After inheriting the family mortuary, a pyrophobic mortician (Andrew Divoff) accidentally exposes hundreds of un-cremated bodies to toxic medical waste...We have ourselves a great cast here: the legendary Jeffrey Combs, the lovely rising star Robin Sydney, the under-appreciated Walter Phelan and the multifaceted Andrew Divoff. If you watch this movie for no other reason, it should be for the cast.I liked the use of the name "Christie Forrest", and references to the other Romero films. I especially liked the mention of the "gorier" 1990 outbreak similar to the 1968 one. Horror fans wink and nod.My biggest complaint is the inclusion of Fixd News and Sister Sara -- this was lame and not necessary... politics should generally stay out of film unless necessary (satire is good, cheap shots are divisive). If done right you get John Carpenter's "They Live" where the message is timeless. Here, we have a Sarah Palin joke that should never have been included -- she is already old news now (2012) and someday will be completely forgotten... why pick on her and Fox?
Pure crap ! I'm a zombie fan and I remember Jeffrey combs in "From Beyond" and "Re-Animator" (that I actually saw in Avoriaz Horror Festival in France when released...that's a while back) but I would have preferred to keep this old memory of him ... intact ! This is nonsense horror ! The acting is not that bad but this is just pure boredom...the effects are way beyond average and there is no tension at all. I don't always look for scare but zombies can be really scary when well directed...this isn't the case ! I actually deleted the movie after watching it (something that I rarely do). I rated 3 because 1 is for garbage...this is only useless crap and the effort is worth a 3 ! The biggest question is: why make such movie ? I think it's only direct to DVD attempt to make a few bucks using a marketing title and the presence of the old actor of Re-Animator ! It's sad to see Horror taking such path these days.
This movie is truly an insult to George Romero. The acting and the zombie effect were barely above normal but the story is so weak. It's essentially a zombie movie taking place in a pot farm. The pot humors aren't funny at all and they never ever gotten around to barricading the windows.Yes, they added nudity but was that remotely necessary? The ending was also very weak!!They had a perfectly good movie from which to base this movie on and they still managed to botch it up. I really do wonder about all these direct-to-DVD horror movies that have no reasons for being made and can only trick people into buying because there are no reviews.
Saw this movie at a special screening in January on the big screen at a movie cinema in downtown L.A. and the 3D is amazing. I'm a big fan of Combs and Divoff (more Wishmasters, please!) and if you are too, you'll love this movie. They are GREAT and the rest of the cast is excellent as well. This has got to be some of the most excellent work that Herbert West and The Djinn have done in years. The special efx work is good too. Sure, it's low budget and the build-up is a little slow, but this is one of the best B movies I've seen in long time. This is not a Romero rip-off and stands on it's own. I'm a sucker for 3D moves (I see them all) and you will not be disappointed.
