Good choice, Ya can't beat an Romero zombie movie!
[Zombina laughs.]
Yeah, and while it's good and stuff, I still prefer the Romero original squeal. Zack Synder's 2004 version is different enough ta be considered a reimagining, but it uses the same base of characters hiding in the mall during a zombie apocalypse and shares the same title, so it's pretty easy ta argue either way.
[Zombina ticks off a few fingers as she lists out the differences.]
Aaaanyway, the thing is, 2004 is more dark and all about the jumpscares, fear, and fast paced tension. It's a totally different style than how Romero went for being eerie, slow paced, and a lighter atmosphere. Romero let ya scare yourself and keep on the edge of your seat, while Synder is tryin' ta knock ya outta it. Romero also didn't take himself too seriously and considered it ta be an comedy at some points.
[Zombina is pretty much pouting at the next part.]
Snyder made his zombies able ta run, jump, and scream. Like I said, they're way too lively in my opinion! I can still appreciate the new spin on everything though. It gives it's own experience while still bringing in a lot of what made the original great.
[She grins.]
I managed ta find Night of the Living Dead in the media room earlier. I bet if we go digging around, we'll be able ta find 2004 to if ya wanna watch it.
