The best horror film of the eighties
This is a gem, it really is. Alternately amusing and horrific - John Landis plays our emotions like a fiddle here. He is pulling all the strings and we are uncertain as to which string he is going to pull next.
From the eerie Yorkshire countryside of the opening scenes through David's awful nightmares in hospital to amusing zombie chit chat and finally the climactic slaughter in London - this film never lets up.
