So Season 8 and All Out War draws to a close. Over all the episode was
satisfying, although it definitely felt too short - it needed to be one
of those extended '90 minute' (63 minutes without adverts) long episodes - but considering the 'crossover' event with Fear The Walking Dead,
they had to get it all bashed-out inside an hour slot. The climactic
battle was surprisingly short-lived, and even though we've been at All
Out War throughout the entirety of Season 8, you still needed a bit more
just to finish it off in this finale.
However, it was good to see enough time being spent on the initial post-war days, which helped set up a few intriguing bits for later - conflict among allies and a gigantic mega herd of walkers in particular. There have been problems with the show in the last couple of years, but hopefully come Season 9 (with new showrunner Angela Kang) things will tighten up and feel refreshed. You can see more of my thoughts on TWD in recent times here.

exploitation reviews here.
“It's the land of the Aquata, they're also head
hunters, still practising. What's more, some of them are cannibals besides, but
I hear the God they venerate is some kind of animal.” The Italian
cannibal movie cycle seemingly died a spectacular death in 1981 with Umberto
Lenzi's savage Cannibal Ferox, which was otherwise known in American
under the particularly memorable title 'Make Them Die Slowly'
when it was released stateside in 1983 to thunderous success (1980's Cannibal
Holocaust didn't hit America until 1985). The noise of the box office
kerchings rang all the way back to Italy and so, further bolstered by the warm
reception afforded to jungle adventure romp Romancing The Stone, the
Italians returned to the green inferno to deliver Massacre In Dinosaur
Valley to the masses...
