I continue giving Romero the benefit of the doubt with each new bad entry he unleashes because I keep mistakenly assuming he's genuinely going to innovate once again or offer up a serious, frightening entry.
SOTD was just plain silly, and not at all in a good way. I wasn't in the slightest bit entertained. I wanted to like it, I tried but the grenade sequence ended my enthusiasm like a .22 to the back of the ear. Its almost as if GAR is spoofing himself, his concepts and the subgenre, which in turn is a slap in the face of those that are honestly convinced he's going to resuscitate instead of regurgitate.
