Meet a Thanatoid circa 1974--Dead of Night

[rich]

i liked Jacob's Ladder but it had the stupidest ending which ruined it all

Yeah, Children is ridiculous (tho kinda creepy, too)and u can't wait
for all these inane kids to get gobbled up (well, I always root for
the zombies anyway--hate the fact that so much of current horror
flicks today (hardly scary) is just gore and goofs--Zombie Land,
Jennifer's Body, etc.--only Romero seems to have any respect for them
tho there is a low budget Canadan flick called Pontypool which from
the clips I've seen appears to be the real deal)

the whole zombie angle in IV is a disappointment btw.
