#36 Zombie 5: Killing Birds 1987

More problems that I am sure are related to the metric system, just like Zombi 2. This time Zombie 5 is from 1987 but Zombie 3 and 4 are from 1988. It might also have something to do with a few scenes in 5 were the characters were sort of transported back in time to see events which had taken place.

A group of student ornithologists travel to remote Louisiana in search of a rare and possibly extinct bird. They meet with the last man known to have seen the bird and discover that he is blind. He had his eyes pecked out 20 years earlier by his wife's pet birds after he killed her and her lover and some other people who were carrying a baby. Maybe the wife's parents or a sibling, I don't know. Anyway, one of the ornithologists turns out to be the baby "all grows up". Well, you know how zombies are about getting revenge.

This one was much better than the rest of this series. The actors were better, the dubbing was better. The zombies stay in the shadows for the most part, so I can't whine about the makeup being bad. There was actually a plot that I could follow. Not all of the people were killed by zombies. One caught himself on fire another got a necklace or something caught in a generator which pulled him into the gears. Overall it had a pretty good 80's horror film feel.

He's all grows up and he's all grows up and he's all grows up.

Why don't you allow anonymous comments? Maybe there's someone who's shy who really, really wants to comment but doesn't want his/her identity known?

Is there something you want to say, but are afraid to? If you want to post anonymously you could just create another login ID that isn't your actual name.

Shalar's not afraid of anything. Except altitude sickness, and correctly spelling "Sematary." However! My friend Lyn wanted to post something today and didn't have a blogger account so she gave up and went away, defeated and sad. The thing she was going to post was Very Interesting, too.

Oh, what Lyn had to say wasn't all THAT interesting, but the attention my cause has drawn is flattering.

What I wanted to note was a question in the Washington Post's online garden chat yesterday which asked, "is forsythia basically the zombie undead of the garden?"

(Apparently it IS!)
