A sad report from IMDB

[EvilNed]

Yeah, but the make-up has to look realistic, not prosthetical... there's a very fine line between good and bad make-up. When not on film, most makeup looks prosthetic, or at least fake. Then, you can twist and turn it in your own mind and have a greater chance of studying it than you have if it's cleverly edited on a film.

Give the movie a chance to be made and released . Fer christ-sakes , its George Romero ! Lets just wait till the movie can be seen before we decide what its' effect is ... sheesh .

It has a lot to do with angles and lighting too. Yes, exactly. In the case of Dawn's zombiemakeup, I've seen films from that same period and earlier that had better. In Dawn you can more often than not see that only the faces of the zombies are colored blue, and their necks are fairly bleak or tan. Zombie Flesh Eaters came the next year with a much smaller budget, and it had much better zombie make-up.

Zombie Flesh Eaters came the next year with a much smaller budget, and it had much better zombie make-up. And far worse acting, ingenuity and a script that is in large part...Boring. I saw it when it came out (Zombie), cause I was starving for zombies, and was reallly dissapointed. he beginning is cool and the last quarter. The rest is pure crapola. The zombiie from the poster is one of the best in any movie. Tom savini has done some cool stuff (like day) but is pretty overrated to me. Saw Gates of Hell a couple months later and thought that was a watse of $$ too.

At the release of DAWN, the zombie make-up was pretty innovative and "fresh" (no pun intended). Surely as hell, it set the standards to measure with. I don't doubt that many movies that came out after DAWN were far superior ONLY in terms of zombie make-up... but the DAWN zombie make-up was much more realistic to me. Remember, they're us... They should resemble Living Dead, not overblown monsters.

Zombie Flesh Eaters came the next year with a much smaller budget, and it had much better zombie make-up. It also had far less zombies. But still, I don't understand why the make up in ZOMBIE (FLESH EATERS) gets so much praise when the majority of the zombies look like they've got dry pale mud smeared all over their faces. They look cool but its not exactly high tech and not particularly realistic.

[zombiefriend]

i liked the way they looked in zombie :3 the "mud" or w/e made them look rotting

[raym]

I like the whole mud zombie look. Kinda weird.

the resident evil ones were the worst, they were just slightly pale!?!?!
