Master class in casual misogyny but I suppose that's just how it was in 1940. It was so nonchalantly over the top that I had to laugh at it. Otherwise, the film was beautiful looking and I was a little worried about the run time, but it never felt like it was dragging. There were several times the lighting, in particular, blew my mind. I need to watch more movies from this era.

That was an insane experience.

I love The Haunting of Hill House so it was very fun picking up on all of the little nods from Mike Flanagan to this movie. I really love how it looked and there some very inventive and jarring moments.

It didn't have quite the same magic as Train to Busan, but I thought it was a fresh enough take, and there were some fun set pieces. More than any other genre, I think you really need to keep a zombie flick's runtime at 90 minutes or less. This definitely could have been shorter by 15-20 minutes without losing much, if anything.

Every time I watch this, I think it's going to be a kid's movie for some reason, and I'm always surprised by how much gore there is. Fun fact: Alyson Hannigan was in consideration to play Katrina before Christina Ricci was cast. We could have had Sleepy Willow.

Hadn't seen this in a very long time. You really can't beat that 60's animation style. Not a hint of casual racism either — I made a bet with my friends anticipating it and lost. Just a wholesome story about a boy and his animal pals singing and tripping balls together in the jungle.
