Walking Dead: Night of the Walking Dead

I love The Walking Dead and I've seen the first two seasons more than any of the others and just about know them inside out. I have to say, ranger613 has done an excellent job of distilling the core of nearly 900 minutes of TV show into a managable 3 hour chunk of fast paced, suspenseful, zombie slaying entertainment. A lot of character development, sub plots and characters have obviously been sacrificed from the hours of TV show footage in order to tell a very streamlined concise story, but to be honest, as much as I noticed it was gone I didn't actually miss it in the context of the new tale the editor was telling. I liked how much darker Shane's character was in this version and how it kept moving forward at a really brisk pace yet without skipping over story or feeling like it's 3 hours long, it felt well balanced between the character moments and the walker mayhem. I wouldn't take this as a replacement for the original TV show but it makes for an excellent introduction for anyone that's been living under a rock for the last 4 years and hasn't seen TWD, or for the times when I need a flashback to the early days and want a complete story in under 3 hours. This is a very successful project, it works as a standalone film for the uninitiated or a quick fix for a TWD junky like me. I hope ranger613 tackles more seasons as he's proved he can really deliver the goods. I know I'll watch this edit a lot more times in the future and it passed the girlfriend test aswell, she's an even bigger TWD fan than me and she specifically made time to watch it and liked the results very much. Great work.

It has been so long since I've watched seasons one and two of The Walking Dead, probably because I find my spare-time gradually being limited as the years go by. Thankfully ranger613's edit has allowed me once again to view the beginnings of this great show.
For a WD fan like myself watching this I knew what scenes had been cut, but this did not effect the overall narrative of the edit, as was the editor's intention, their removal helped move the story along.
Video and audio editing was 100% perfect to my eyes and ears. If you have family or friends who have never seen an episode of the show and are somewhat reluctant to watch a show about zombies, get them watching this edit and in no time they will be wanting to not only see seasons 3 and 4 but also the full 1st and 2nd seasons.
Looking forward to the blu-ray release of season 4 and to see what your edit of 3&4 will be like.
Not wanting to spoil it for anyone yet to see it but I loved the post-credit scene.

Walking Dead if any series needs fanedits as the show is a wreck with its moments nowadays. Now season 1 was solid but season 2 was quite bad. This fanedit makes the two seasons into a 3 hours' action packed movie that lacks a proper ending.

First I must mention the same as many others did before, there are a lot of continuation issues with characters disappearing without any explanations. Also some of the dialogue doesn't make any sense, especially towards the ending with the Shane stunt. That being said the edit is still a lot of fun as it takes a lot of jarring moments and annoying dialogue away. I watched it in 2 separate parts and I have to say that I wasn't bored at any moment, so the phasing was good.

Some mentioned that there was little character building in the fanedit. While it's true I think all the character building was always so bad in Walking Dead that I didn't mind.

Technically it was quite decently edited.. A few camera cuts felt a bit out of the place but nothing that major. The video quality is okay considering that the source material is heavily grained, something that I don't like at all.

In a nutshell: a bit confusing albeit fun ride from beginning to the end.


I wish someone would make the whole series into a grand fanedit with several parts. All the seasons after the 4th are a big mess but I think a good fanedit could make me want to re-watch the whole show.

Wonderful job!! I LOVE this show, and well, ALL things Zombie.... That being said, I loved that this was edited down into ONE solid story arc, movie style. After a 5 day power outage in my area due to bad weather, and seeing the 'post apocalyptic' affect it had on my neighborhood, this was a very enjoyable distraction from everyday reality. Thanks for letting me experience this, I can't wait for the next one.....
