Title: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3-D
Description: How in the...?

I started to watch this last night and it seemed competent enough (in a low bar sort of way), but I couldn't get past the backwards 3D and gave up before Babs even hit the house. That's neither here nor there...

... but how in the hell did they get away with this? The PD aspect of the film is common knowledge, but isn't the script itself still covered by copyright? At least the Russo novelization of same would seem to cover the rights, I would think.

I have no idea, but am just going to throw a 'knowing Russo...' in for the hell of it.

Knowing Russo, indeed...

So, I'm not the only then, who's noticed the backwards 3d. WTH is that all about?

Not sure what you mean by "backwards 3-D."

You know - backwards 3-D:

I find it distracting, myself...

The colours in the anaglyph image are backwards, causing the image to go more inwards. It looks very awkward, and you lose the sense of depth that's supposed to be there. Not to mention that any pop out effects are rendered null.
Easily solved by switching the glasses around, i use the ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL glasses myself, but still should have been noticed before releasing the DVD.

Heh... me, too. Unfortunately they don't invert comfortably and I didn't feel like watching the whole movie holding backwards glasses to my view...

How many times are they going to take a perfectly harrowing horror film and destroy its power by denegrating it to crap?

Colorization
A Savini Remake
A Russo "reimagining"
3D

Leave it the F alone! :angry:

I actually liked Savini's remake but I agree about the colorization, the reimagining, but I haven't seen the 3D version.

There hasn't been a film version of Night of the Living Dead: The Musical...

... yet.

But there is a play. Bill Hinzman has produced it, in fact.
