Tell me about it. His original account name was "donnysylar".
I've been using this website for 10 years, and have never behaved like that. When I saw that he uploaded a "director's cut" for this movie, I thought "oh neat". But when I see that I've been seriously duped into watching something totally different I decided to share my findings with other fans. Now I'm the target of an obvious troll.
I would advise ignoring any comments he makes. -

Tell me about it! Then this guy comes along, he's been here ten years, and changes his name from Donny Sylar to HornSNHalo. See what he did there?
He's just a troll. Ignore him.
Anyhow, like I said, there is a lot of hoaxes out there.
Here is a link to the REAL directors cut of this film. Enjoy! -

OkayI think you've learned your little lesson.
Of course this is a 'fan' edit!
lolololololololol
And we were having fun with it. You could've done the same rather than throw your nerd temper tantrum.
And, again, it's an obscure enough movie that it doesn't harm anyone.
If this were "Jaws" or "The Godfather" then, yes, tampering with those films is like defacing the Mona Lisa.
But this is Mattei's "Hell of the Living Dead." A film that Ed Wood Jr. might of made if he was reborn George A. Romero in Turkey. With everything it rips off and borrows, it is fair game for this sorta of harmless art prank. Plus it's a loving tribute to the film itself. (againnot the fan editor here, just a film festival promoter, but of course I know him well and love what he did here!)
If your OBJECTION in this is some stock semi-modern footage of a zombie walk OR an added subplot about a prehistorical virus OR the nerd actor amateur scientist dub as opposed to the square-jaw macho amateur scientist as ALL being "TOO ridiculous" to add, then I guess you missed the African Elephants in New Guinea OR the forests of Spain being used to substitute for the jungles of New Guinea OR the gas that is supposed make the 3rd world eat each other to solve world hunger (because an accidental zombie outbreak is SO much betterLMAO) OR the voice dubbing which is pretty amateur already ("don't get your b alls wasted!" "since when did you care about my balls?") OR the stock footage from the clearly-10-years-older-movie-than-this (i.e. 1972 "La Valle") which sticks out like a rotten zombie thumb.lol
Thankfully we could kept this ruse/stunt going just LONG ENOUGH until the horror festival was over and THANKFULLY no one there was aware of your posts. THANK GAWD! Guess karma was on our side, trolls be damned.haha
We probably could've PMed you and let you in on the joke. But we didn't want to risk you trying to sabotage our events, given your unstable behavior here.
Want to hear something ironic? Betcha didn't know this was part of a stunt to drum up interest in this obscure film for some limited blu-ray release parties, hence why the festival we sponsored went along with this for the local stores in the area to help out OUR sponsor who wants to get their product more exposure. This film NEEDS all the help it can get. haha. Needless to say it's a relief to finally let the cat out of the bag now that the weekend is over and the festival concluded. You almost spoiled this. ALMOST. Those trailers you teased about. What do you think were some of the movies that our film festival was showing? Doh!
And a special thanks/shout out to a certain OTHER celebrity filmmaker friend who helped us and suggested this idea. Appreciated. He even stuck around to help us clean up. Classy!
Just to be nice, and outta respect for you and fans like you, I had considered early on deleting this thread and the youtube film (part of the festival too).
But after your show of enthusiasm? Nah. Gonna leave it up. In your honorwill be sure to add a little extra something on the youtube channeljust so people know they have YOU to thank for it.
For everyone else, thank you for the tremendous support and your nice PMs and amazing turn out (for those that traveled out to see us!). It was a blast.
P.S. For anyone else out there, associated with this or not, sorry for being SO wordy. Originally, our plans were to delete this thread and above video. BUT given the very passionate meltdown of our little troll buddy we felt it necessary to offer a complete explanation so no one would be confused or scratch their heads over what happened here. For the record: as we said in our Q & A, it was all in good fun. 99.9% of everyone this touched got the joke and went along with it. Thank you for that. And to any dissenters out there, or "dissenter" (to be more accurate), we even thank you for doing your part to play our own personal Inspector Jacques Clouseau! Added some last minute excitement to the proceeding. Wouldn't be fun sans SOME drama. Priceless!
Cheers everyone! -

The user admits it was a fan edit in the original post. You spent all this time trying to disprove a fan edit? Get out much, brah?
It was not admitted as a fan edit when I made this thread, which is why I wrote it in the first place. But since it is now a confirmed hoax I have no interest in pursuing it any further. As I stated in my original post I will leave this thread up for information purposes only. I have nothing else to say about the matter. -

Thanks for this info. I fell for the hoax, I guess, as I watched the "director's cut" (i.e, fan cut) just yesterday and praised it on this board. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the fan cut esp. the subplot involving the scientist's terrorist son. That was pretty ingenious. Suffice to say, the flashback fooled me! The only thing that seemed suspicious was the street scene with the Caucasian zombies in the "abandoned city". Something was definitely amiss there! LOL. (I thought maybe that scene came from one of Bruno's later zombie films and he put it into the director's cut.)
Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt?
