Troma's only good film, and the head-crushing is still funny.
Shot at weekends over four years by Jackson and his friends. Astonishing.
Punk soundtrack, running zombies, and the film that invented 'BRAINS'.
Where the effects and the writing finally matched. Jeffrey Combs is perfect.
Jackson before the trilogy. The lawnmower scene ends the argument.
The bleakest Romero. Bub is the only sympathetic character in it.
A shopping mall, four survivors, and Savini's finest hour.
Remake and sequel at once. Raimi discovers slapstick and never looks back.
Prosecuted in Britain. Actually a comedy, though it took years to admit it.
