Whats your favorite Zombie movie?

Post Reply New Topic

Shaun of the Dead for me, Zombieland was also pretty good.

I hate zombie movies that don't even give you a idea as to what caused the zombie virus to spread.

Zombieland explained it completely. Mad cow disease mutated into a fast acting mad human disease. It started from gas station hamburgers.

Yes that is one thing I liked about the movie zombieland but I hate when zombies just appear and no one knows what caused the zombie virus its a fallacy when they do that.

I don't watch that many zombie movies, but Shaun of the Dead was awesome!

I personally would put Re-animator at the top of my list. Big Lovecraft fan.

How could I forget Re-Animator? The first one is a masterpiece. The third one's also terrific. The second one I can take or leave.

For me it's the original. The two sequels are apocryphal to me.

Nice to see Iam not the only one who likes Re-Animator.

Yes I totally agree with you. Like the first and second which I like too('Don't let the little head rule the big head'. 'He's a wifebeater Dan,use the gun!'). The audio commentary from Jeffrey Combs and Bruce Abbott on the Bride dvd is a riot.
As for Beyond Re-Animator I like to think it never happened. In my fan canon version of the Re-Animator verse it never happened well not fully. Totally different from the first two and has this cheapness about it. Also no Bruce Abbott as Dan Cain might have something to do with it. Ahh Dan Cain you are not as bright as Herbert but you are nice eye candy for me to watch. (Yes Im female)Looking forward to the Re-Animator blu ray that is meant to be coming out this year, as soon as a release date is annouced it's getting pre-ordered on Amazon.

Since I've only seen five zombie movies, here are my top 5:

5. 28 Days Later (2002): Only saw this one recently. I'll give it credit for redefining the genre and its crazy editing, but it was way too "in my face" like most horror films for me to really enjoy it.
4. Night Of The Living Dead (1968): A true classic that laid the groundwork for the genre. Problem is that it's kind of starting to show its age, but that's a problem not uncommon with horror classics.
3. Shaun Of The Dead (2005): I was amazed at how smart this film was. It perfectly blended the realms of horror and comedy while staying true to the zombie subgenre. Needless to say that this was the film that made me a Simon Pegg fan.
2. Dawn Of The Dead (1978): Unlike its predicessor, it gave the survivors more room to fight the zombies. They got pretty creative with their survival tactics too with the shopping mall as the backdrop.
1. Zombieland (2008): Since this is more comedy than horror, it's the only zombie movie I can watch with a casual viewing. The fact that I'm a fan of all the principle actors in it is just icing on the cake.

Zombieland. Bill Murray's cameo was awesome.

But I wish Bill had stayed and fought the zombies longer!

But did he really fight them? I thought he pretty much dressed as one in order to survive, and hid away in his house. Still, I wish he would have lived.

I recently watched a movie called zombie wars the zombies where making humans breed so they could eat their children as babies the whole movie was awful and not a logical zombie movie nor did they say what caused the zombie virus.

He dressed up as a zombie to survive. ( perhaps using the zombie-to-zombie respect principle???)

But he didn't fight side-by-side with the characters played by Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, etc.

I saw an interesting zombie movie a while back called REC, it was a spanish movie which was done as a reporter and cameraman who's footage is the movie, and we see a zombie infection hapen. It was rather good.

I feel like I should give a special mention to the Highschool of the Dead anime, which is made up of 12 episodes which are about 20 minutes each, it is the first real zombie apocolypse anime. It is pretty cool, although somewhat perverted, and can get over the top.
