2020 remake version:

"I wish someone would find a vaccine."

"We already have a vaccine"

"I DON'T TRUST VACCINES!"

Man, the small details really tell a story in this one. That Morgan drives up to the lab and doesn't bother locking his car door, or even rolling up the window...

"Mommy where are you"

*silence*

Umm, maybe you could help the little kid out in her final pre-zombie hours?

It's the impaling montage. If I had a nickel for every impaling montage I've had to watch in the movies.

This movie is doing an excellent job of laying out the grinding banality of days passing in a completely broken world. It's hitting differently than the original Matheson story, but no less hard. This is great.

*Vincent Price drives up in his car*

Zombies: "Oh man - are we ever embarrassed. We've been flailing away at your house for an hour already, and you weren't even home."

*everyone laughs*

It's disconcerting that this did not abruptly end without closure.

Of course, under this new world order, post Vincent Price biting it, there's some multinational zombie corporation making a fortune off the daily anti-zombie juice injections.

The protagonist is slain! The world is filled with the dead and the dying! Nobody at all fucked off into the sea, only into a fiery pit!

And that's a wreck!

Thank you, @Taweret@octodon.social. Thanks for the bingo card, @cheribaker! This was a really good one. (Could have used more crab monsters, but that holds true for most films.)

Those bushes offered perfect camouflage because in this film Morgan is black and white. If this was a colour film they would have spotted him instantly.

vampires are incredibly self conscious. Modest, painfully so.

They've got basic tool usage, and even remember his name. They're already a few levels up on a MAGA rally.

Vincent, please, if you have been carving conical stakes in your living room for three years you _must_ have scrounged some safety glasses by now. You're setting a terrible example for the kids.

Um, Vincent, I'm not sure swapping blood when your new girlfriend is sleeping really fits into the whole consent thing.

Oh Morgan, I know exactly how you feel. I would be laughing and sobbing hysterically in the basement too if I had had coffee and orange juice for breakfast, fallen asleep slanted sideways in a church, then only managed to make it home after sunset only to have to shove through a crowd of rowdy neighbours just to get in the front door.

Oh my, he is still salvaging preserved garlic from a supermarket rather than growing the garlic himself? They should have sent a pΜΆoΜΆeΜΆtΜΆ botanist
