Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!
This week, Ryan and Chris' brief hiatus comes to a close sooner than expected, and also with that begins our trek into Spooky Season! (Yes, we know it's technically still September, but whatever!) With our first in a string of horror-themed episode, we dive into post-Romero zombie films, films that specifically came in the wake of the massive success of 1968's watershed film "Night of the Living Dead" (and one from 1978's "Dawn of the Dead). We begin with 1974's "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" or most commonly known in the states as "The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue." We discuss the film's ominous tone and general uniqueness in the zombie sub-genre, which is rare. Then, we move into 1988's "FleshEater: Revenge of the Living Dead," which was directed by Bill Hinzman, the lead zombie from "Night of the Living Dead," in this "spiritual sequel" meets "weird Pennsylvanian regional horror" mash-up (one of us liked this and the other not as much). Finally, we move into one of the most iconic zombie movies outside of Romero's films: Lucio Fulci's "Zombie" aka "Zombi 2" aka "Zombie Flesh Eaters."
