Fear The Walking Dead - A Review

I finally watched Fear The Walking Dead and I like it. There are plenty of movies and shows I’ve watched where the apocalypse has already happened so seeing one from the beginning is one of the reasons I like the show.

Kim Dickens became “Carol” over the first several episodes and Ruben Blades is “Darryl” but what makes them better is they’re not heroes like their Walking Dead counterparts. I hope they don’t go down that road with these characters, getting headshots or Zombie Kill of The Week. Because the Walking Dead comics has heroes and villains everyone seems to be human plus. Michonne is the perfect example of what I mean.

The group seems more like real people, granted the Walking Dead were already in the midst of the zombie apocalypse but they still acted irresponsibly during the show’s current run. The episode where Rick explains the rabbit trap to Carl and then falls right into it himself.

I’m surprised Netflix doesn’t have it on streaming though. Wonder if they will later this year.

Story inspired by Patricia Tallman's performance in Tom Savini's Night of The Living Dead.

They're Coming To Get You, Barbara!

In this time of remakes, reboots, and reimaginings there is one movie (in my opinion) that is just as good as the original.

‘Night of the Living Dead’ released in 1990, directed by Tom Savini, starring Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman.

I’ve been a fan of the zombie genre for a long time now and I’ve seen a lot of movies that cover this genre. Some good, some bad but NotLD is one I can rewatch several times a year. Despite my constant viewings, the opening scene of the full moon rising with the creepy music still scares me.

I have to mention another great actor, Tom Towles as Cooper (I got to work the insult yo-yos into my repertoire)

Tom Savini did the special effects and make up for Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, so he was the perfect choice to direct a remake. He kept true to the original storyline (albeit one twist) and didn’t amp up the explosions or gore as most remakes do.

The special effects for the zombies had a broad range of damage done to them. If you decide to watch it and can listen to the commentary from Tom Savini, he explains his ideas for scenes and the zombies.

Zombie Nightmare

I do enjoy when I dream about zombies, to the point where I should practice lucid dreaming so I can actively participate when I have them. Though in last night's case to avoid waking up being frightened by them.

I don't remember a lot about the dream because it was difficult to see it when it was happening. There were 3 moments that stood out;

First, it was several weeks after the initial outbreak and the zombies outnumbered the humans. We were abandoning major cities, which caused chaos.

At one point, a large group of humans (myself included) were running down a hill to get on boats. Zombies were in between us, getting a running buffet. I managed to get on a cabin cruiser but just as I was going, a zombie jumped into the boat. As we fought, the boat shrank to the point where my feet were keeping it from shrinking further and this allowed me to throw the zombie overboard where I used the propeller to kill it.

The dream jumped and I was in an office/warehouse when a group of zombies came towards me. I managed to climb onto a desk and into the space between the office's ceiling and the building's roof, but the zombies followed.

This is when I woke up and realizing it was a nightmare.

That's Enough For Me

Considering that the characters of The Walking Dead television show have dealt with the Governor of Woodbury, the cannibals of Terminus, and the Wolves; Daryl driving up to the "ambush" set by Negan's men has convinced me to stop watching the show.

Based on the prologue to the next chapter, Daryl had plenty of time to stop away from them, or speed up and crash through them. Instead of Abraham giving advice, he makes a comment.

Granted everyone of the Saviors has a weapon, but if the trio decided to drive through the motorcycles, it would be tough for them to aim and avoid getting hit.

I've had issues with the writers not developing the characters before, but this is the bat that broke Glenn's head.
