Dawn of the Dead / George A. Romero's Land of the Dead Double Feature [Blu-ray]

This set was created to take advantage of innocent zombie fans
The product combines the REMAKE of Dawn of the Dead with the Romero ORIGINAL Land of the Dead. Chances are, you love one and hate the other. Add the fact that you can buy (the same versions of) both movies for less, and there is no good reason for this product to exist--other than to trick people.

For example, the video preview on the product page (as I write) is of the original Dawn of the Dead, which is NOT a part of this set. It's disgusting deceptive marketing. The producers of this product must believe their customers are brain dead!

If you don't read the package carefully and know which versions you are getting, you will be disappointed. The movies individually would rate more stars, but the set should receive less than zero stars. In fact, if you're a purist, you'll recognize that this set represents what Romero was mocking in the original Dawn of the Dead!

Don't soil your shoes by stepping in this thick irony.

3 1/2 stars-Romero's entry is,of course,the best,but the other?
This Universal two pack,on two single discs,features Dawn of the Dead(released Mar/04)and Land of the Dead(released June/05),both in their director cuts.It doesn't mean they are any better,just a little longer.Both films were shot in and around Toronto,with the first having a majority of its cast from Canada.The second uses mostly Canadian supporting players while the films leads are mostly Americans.
Dawn of the Dead finds Sarah Polley as the lead character,playing a nurse who comes home from a hard day at the hospital.The next morning the world has turned upside down as many of the populace have become walking zombies and she must flee for her life.She ends up in an accident in transit but meets up with policeman Ving Rhames.Together they follow some other folks to the local mall.They are only safe for a little while on the main floor and eventually are forced to make their way up to the second level.There some security guards have already taken control,and it takes some time...
