How many horror movies by the end has the main villain go from disgusting and reviled to pitiable and to be rooted for? This film has so much to say, says it so well, and all the while it's covered up in one heck of a good horror film to boot.

And heck people usually never even get into the feminism commentary around Fran (the Galen Ross character).

Night of the Living Dead was raw and scarier -- Dawn is more ambitious and satirical and Land is a product of the times. I would very much like to see the eventual longer cut. I saw it a second time today with some others and the gore is Laugh out loud over the top. And even for me a little stomach turning (pulling someone's stomach out through their mouth) is gonna make most people feel that little gag reflex in the back of their throat. But that's the fun horror stuff. I would like more time in the Fiddler's Green...but more importantly at the film;s end --- I want to see another movie with these people. Leave them wanting more -- is the sign of a Good movie. Not quite great, but one of the better horror films of the last oh since the original Dawn.
