Agreed on Land of the Dead, and it demonstrates how a film as raw, unpolished and personal as Dawn of the Dead simply cannot be made today - at least not via a major studio.
Cheap thrills and gloss is the order of the day, as the recent empty, cheaply thrilling and glossy remakes of the old classics clearly show.
Also, the likes of Romero, Carpenter and Hooper are older now, less passionate... more digital. I have often wondered what it would take for one of these men to create as much of a stir in the horror scene as they once did - but somehow it seems impossible.
So far as a sequel to Dawn of the Dead goes, it is a nice idea, but as a firm championer of inconclusive and thought provoking endings I cannot agree with it.
