Über diesen Film

This is one of the true cult classics and one of the scariest movies of all time. The dead are walking and hunger for human flesh. A group of panicked survivors are barricaded in a deserted farmhouse while the army of flesh eating zombies hovers outside their door. This over-the-top disk includes a restored original black and white version, and a color version that will thrill the horror film fan and horrify the film purist.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

The movie is fantastic, a cornerstone of the history of film. Just don't buy this if you must "own" this movie, there are better restorations free on YouTube. but if you want the absolute best, buy the Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection. Masterfully restored from the original film negative by The Museum of Modern Art, sponsored by The George Lucas Family Trust.

I'm undecided on purchasing from here. This film is a masterpiece. However, even more than adding digital CGI to Star Wars does nothing to improve on the original, but does deter considerably from the mood and atmosphere created, The colorized trailer only convinces me that I _will_ need to completely desaturate this copy to regain my enjoyment of it in any way without constantly being distracted by the efforts of the color artist. (it's always in that uncanny valley) Sadly, the original was shot in something like 13fps Cine footage, and the un-"restored" conversion to DVD I already own does suffer from frame blending. Contrary to my stated opinion about the addition of color, adding frames with digital motion compensation, (to 24 / 25 fps) or clean frame splits, (at least to pad to 50fps+ target) _would_ improve the image considerably. Again, the trailer suggests this has been done, and done well. My concern is how easy the streaming service of Play Movies will be to desaturate, should I chose this platform to buy this restoration on. Should I try to find a DVD / BRD and a means to rip and self-fix, or wait for a way to get a restored, but not colored copy?

I don't want to sound like a hater, but the character are really annoying but it's a good movie.the characters are really dumb and annoying. If the character or better develop I think it will be a five-star.
