Now it gets really frightening
With less than two week remaining in the semester, it begins to look bleak. After three weeks, we finally read through the screenplay, and the consensus was that not many enjoyed the delayed point of attack. I still don't feel as though I am completely sold on this. Other zombie films (including the apex of NOTLD) tend to shove the zombies right down the throat of the audience, and the other problem was the gore factor. Maybe I'm too old school for the gore. Contemporary audiences have grown accustomed to an excess of gore to substitute for actual fear. This is painful for me to witness. I am just not a fan of films such as the _Saw_ franchise. There are not enough subtle horror films out there. Who knows, I might give into the calls of the class, but I might just stick up for a dying art of horror construction.
