Army of the Dead: Zack Snyder is having an absolute blast, delivering a jaw dropping/jaw-removing) amount of slo-mo bloodshed. The gore and mayhem on display is lovingly captured and, more importantly, gleefully faceted within the film. #ArmyOfTheDead
Its zombie mythology is fresh and different, yet the whole thing feels closer to Romero territory than anything since Romero left us, with just enough pop commentary to recall the social-minded classics of the genre.

Slow and fast zombies co-existing! A proper heist crew! Zombie animals! All this and a sweet father/daughter redemption arc. As far as I’m concerned #ArmyOfTheDead delivers everything you want in a Zack Snyder zombie heist film.
Hell yeah, typo in that first tweet. Will use this space to say there's a surprising AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON homage in #ArmyOfTheDead .
#ArmyOfTheDead also flirts with the later section of Matheson's I AM LEGEND novel in a way Romero didn't get to, which is fun to see (and lends itself well to Snyder's HEAVY METAL, Frazetta van mural aesthetic).
