I hope the zombie F/X don't include "demon eyes."

One thing I did not care for in LAND was the fact the zombies had weird contact lenses in to make them look more scary. In my opinion, this detracted from the scariness and made them look more cartoony. I don't like the "demon" eyes for zombies. They're dead. Just give them dead milky eyes (like in NIGHT 90), or no contacts at all. This was a problem for me in DAWN 04, too, as the zombies had weird blue contacts in.

YES! on the milky eyes! I hate the contacts also. PLUS - I hope there is NOT another roaring Big Daddy-type zombie!!!

[sirjacktorrance]

well.. i think the "demon eyes" of land were decent, because ther was red veins and (except big daddy)were very subtle.The worst "demon eyes "i see are in the new day of the dead zombies. the photos looks horrible!!like a "night of the demons" or "the convent"creature.

I didn't notice demon eyes too bad in Land... What I DID notice them in was 28 days later (Despite it not being a zombie flick) their eyes just looked red and ****ing scary... But anyways, I honestly didn't like the look of the zombies in Night '90. I thought it was a great remake, but the facial expressions the zombies made was just annoying to me. I hope he just goes with either Dawn or Day effects... Maybe even Night '68 since they're freshly created zombies, they wouldn't look all decayed. That's one thing I didn't understand about Land, Cholo got up and looked like he'd been a zombie forever... Oh well.

I've seen a test makeup from Greg Nicotero for "Diary of the Dead" and there was no "demon" look to the eyes. In fact, the eyes were one of the best designs of the makeup actually. Very different from the "Land of the Dead" zombies. Don't know if that will be the final design though, but it still looked pretty good to me.

PLUS - I hope there is NOT another roaring Big Daddy-type zombie!!! AMEN! Big Daddy was the downfall of Land. Any one have an official roar count? There I was in the theater going to see the first film from my favorite director on the big screen and feeling kind of embarrassed of that damn zombie.

I always thouth it had the most realistic-looking zombies.

I'd really like to see it

[bassman]

Yeah....I'm not a big fan of the "demon eyes", either. Although, in "Land", I didn't consider those to be "demon eyes". Big Daddy's were close to it but most of them just had a kind of blood-shot, vein look to them.(look at pictures of #9--cool blood-shot effect on her's) Overall....Night90 had the best dead eyes, I think.

I've seen a test makeup from Greg Nicotero for "Diary of the Dead" ..... El Cool-o Got a link, I'd love to see some of that!

[dmbfanintn]

I've seen a test makeup from Greg Nicotero for "Diary of the Dead" Greg is doing the fx? Shweet!!!!

[tkane18]

AMEN! Big Daddy was the downfall of Land. Any one have an official roar count? This could turn into a new drinking game. Every time Big Daddy roars, you have to drink a shot. See, the movie does have some merit after all!

[MinionZombie]

Indeed, Night90 had the best eyes - and actually had the most anatomically correct zombies out of all the films, I remember reading/watching something about how they did a load of research into what actually happens to the body after death and incorporated that into their designs, rather than working from "this is what I think happens/probably happens something like this". Aye, I didn't think "demon eyes" with Land, I thought more along the line of "bloodshot yellow", if anything, it looked more like they'd been on 'da chronic' for a bit too long.

If I could I would post the photo. However, Greg asked that I not put it on the internet. He said that he is the "FX producer" on this one, so I'm not sure just how big of a role he will have this time around. The eyes for the makeup look swollen, for lack of a better word. Almost like a dog when it has cherry eye. I liked it and thought it was different than the LOTD zombie look.
