B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - GULAG (TV 1985)

This month B-Movie Gazette dives into the prison genre and who doesn't like a good prison flick? Gulag is an extremely well-produced TV movie originally made for HBO before wandering out to obscurity-land. David Keith is in top form as a sportscaster and while covering an event in Moscow is framed by the KGB. Unable to prove his innocence a prison escape is now inevitable, just how will he do it? Malcolm McDowell co-stars, this is a good one folks! 2.75 stars/2.75

3 NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ALTERNATIVES - OFF COLOR FILMS COLORIZED (2004) REANIMATED (2009) & NIGHT OF THE ANIMATED DEAD (2021)

 



























If you dig all things NIGHT 🌙✨of the Living DEAD related like 👍 I do, then consider these 3 😁 interesting alternatives -

I can totally dig the purists who like their NOTLD organic, the original slime of the black and white film. For those wanting to venture further out, there have been several colorized versions but the only one worth it's salt is Off Color Film's 2004 version produced by a studio called Legend. The exteriors look better than inside the house but it's still a fine color version. 

"Reanimated" from 2009 has a great concept - use the original audio track from the film but film new animation from a variety of artists. Ironically, it's that variety that seems to be missing. I found it to be boring and not continuous enough. 

The new Night Of The Animated Dead is certainly an interesting take on things with new animation that sticks to the script word by word but uses different voices. The character's faces don't seem to retain the original characteristics with the exception of Barbara who pretty much looks like herself. The animation is pretty cool though and this one ultimately gets lumped with "worth at least one watch" especially for NOTLD fans.

Night Of The Living Dead - Colorized (Off Color Films - 2004)  2.75 stars/2.75
Night Of The Living Dead : Reanimated (2009)  1.0 stars/2.75
Night Of The Animated Dead (2021) 1.75 stars/2.75
