Another surprise was that there was around ten minutes of exclusive Goblin music, for years I had been under the impression that there would just be an exclusive ninety second track at the end. Talking of Goblin, there should is a lot of them in this version, it's almost similar to an eighty minute music video. Luckily I very much like their music.  Fascinating afternoon watch. |
Over the years I've started to prefer this version of the film which is kind of crazy to say haha. I like the snappier pace and the pounding soundtrack, but it's pretty serious as anything remotely funny in the Romero version is taken away.
