NOT THAT BAD AT ALL!!!
Hello fellow Romero fans. George himself rips this to shreads, and considering that I haven't been able to sit through some of his other older films, I was expecting total crap. I was so curious that I actually bought the "Season of the Witch" DVD for "Vanilla", (Which comes as a bonus movie) not "Season". Well, it's been a while now, and I still didn't watch "Season" but I find myself fascinated by "Vanilla"and must have started it at least 10 times, and completed it about 5. It is not Super-Entertaining every second of screentime, (Few movies are) but like "Night of the Living Dead" itself, entertainment-wise it competes with many Hollywood movies of the day at a fraction of the budget. If you haven't seen it, it reminds me of one of those "Swinging London" 60's flicks, only Pittsburgh style, if you can imagine that. You can read about the plot elsewhere, but for it's Time-Capsule value alone, this film is a more interesting way to spend an hour and a half than many contemporary films. If anybody knows Big George, please tell him it's really not as terrible as he might remember.
