Classic Films You Love To Hate

About time, eh?

It's boring (even the shorter cut feels way overlong), the fx is shoddy and Scott Reiniger 'going crazy' after being bitten is cringe worthy.

I thought it was just me with Dawn of the Dead.

I loved it the first time i watched it, but now i find it almost unwatchable.

I think Cat O' Nine Tails is excruciatingly dull as well.

I wouldn't say it was boring as such, but it always makes me say to myself "Really?!" when I see people list is as their favourite horror film of all time. I prefer both Night and Day over Dawn. I also prefer Manchester Morgue, Braindead, Return of the Living Dead, Dellamorte Dellamore, The Beyond, and City of the Living Dead to Dawn.

I also consider The Exorcist and TCM as over-rated, so what do I know? My favourite horror film is Videodrome

I think it's boring and it's awfully bland to look at. DAWN is one those films that I think people convince themselves that they like because it's so popular but, deep down, they don't really.

And yes, THE EXORCIST and TCM are overrated.

Nope, I genuinely adore Dawn Of The Dead. Not sure if I prefer it to Night... (probably not quite, Night Of The Living Dead is just superb) but I definitely prefer it to Day...

I don't think TCM is in anyway over-rated either. It deserves its reputation, in my book.

The Exorcist can suck balls though.

I'm saying that's what everyone does. But I do believe it's the case with some.

DAY is my all time favourite American horror

I haven't watched TCM for a long, long time so maybe I should watch it again.

I'm not so keen on Dawn of the Dead either.

Another film people use to love is Phenomena. Didn't liked it.
It way many years since i saw it so maybe i give it a second chance sometime (if i get money for it).

TCM is a bit overrated in my opinion
Phenomenon is alright but it's almost too weird for me
Inferno I really I didn't like on first viewing, but watching it a second time I thought it was great.
Pulp Fiction was VERY boring and Over rated
Vertigo I almost fell asleep in.

Dawn Of The Dead is a masterpiece which I love, but if you hype it too much you'd think it was over rated. I pretty much just casually walked into this not knowing much.

Apocalypse Now is one of my favourite movies, but the French Plantation sequence kills the pacing and tension of the movie, and is an absolute bore. All the other Redux scenes are great, so it's a shame the French Plantation bit sucks.

DAWN is one of my favourite films of all time, it introduced me to horror films when i was younger and even now seeing it it's multiple different versions, i still find it endlessly watchable. I can see why some folks may have a problem with the FX, sure they're not the best, but for me it's all about the end of civilization and how a desperate group of people come to terms with it.

I think NIGHT, while being a classic film, is no masterpiece, it's influential in it's style, being the first strong horror, but at times it's badly shot, acted and edited and the sound is terrible throughout most of the film.

I like DAY but I sometimes i find it a chore to sit through even though it's more action that horror, and i have to say, call me a blasphemer but Joe Pilato is not the best actor in the world, Rhodes was an ok character but not on the level people hold him to.
