twistedbitch, I love the original, but I love all of Romero's films pre-Monkey Shines. The Crazies feels a bit like Martin or Dawn of the Dead, IMO the time when Romero was at his stylistic best.
Kaname Tousen- To me Silent Hill isn't about the gore, it's more about the weight our subconscious minds can put on our bodies and souls. The movie did not fail for me because it captured that feeling so well, and I've been a fan since the very first game on the original PS. :)
