Holy Crap. Land of the Dead Fanedit

[kidgloves]

Its very very interesting using footage from Land, Dawn (78 & 04), Diary and a couple of other movies. This is well worth your time and bandwith.
Google and you will find.

[DjfunkmasterG]

If I could watch it online I would, but I won't seed it or download it off torrents

[Bub666]

I just watched it,not bad.

[kidgloves]

Rapidshare? Cost you a couple $$ for the premium service for 3 days. I've got the DVD (3gb) rather than xvid otherwise I'd help you out Gary

[DjfunkmasterG]

I have a rapidshare account, now I just need links. :D

[bassman]

I don't see how scenes from those four films could be edited together and flow smoothly....

[darth los]

It just might if expectations aren't too high. We already know the films backwards and forwards so this might be a good change up. Might be fun....

[Legion2213]

Interesting find Kidgloves. I'll grab the 4GB version and give it a spin. Cheers for sharing.:)

Conceptual Improvements/Advancements Of Edit Over Original

What I have tried to do with this FanEdit is to create a film more in keeping with the three previous Romero Dead Films. I have removed money as a motivator and reduced the Zombies reasoning. I have also removed the more obvious special make-up effects and increased the level of gore and carnage. I have also trimmed the more formulaic dialogue and attempts at light humor. There is a new prologue, whole new sequences and a new ending.

I will let you judge if this works or not.

[clanglee]

I dunno man, sounds . . .well. . kinda ****ty really.

[MinionZombie]

That fan edit sounds like absolute garbage to me.

[DjfunkmasterG]

Well the new opening is kind of misplaced a bit, but I see what the editor was thinking. They made the zombies scarier by removing their thinking and just going on instinct.

[clanglee]

I tried downloading this and I got a ZIP file with music and Pictures but no movie at all. . .What's up with that?

[MikePizzoff]

I agree with what a couple of you have said... this sounds like garbage. :barf:

[darth los]

beware of viruses.

Oh yeah, this is trash.:cool:

[Thorn]

I will be downloading this and checking it out when I get home.

Oh and hello to all those who might remember me from the old forums many moons ago.

[AcesandEights]

This fan edit looks as though it basically gelded Romero's original work and, instead of making the film stronger and expounding on any of the themes, actually just reverts to a pretty generic zombie pastiche.

I'd watch this if it were hosted on youtube, but I'm not going to download the files.
