Best Zombie Film Ever
Vote for your favourite zombie film here:
Also id like to discuss old zombie films versus new ones and remakes, personally i think the remakes are much better, with the fast zombies becoming a formidable foe and being more frightening, old zombie films are only really good for kitsch and myth value, most are ridiculous and comical, your thoughts?

It suffered from a poor marketing campaign, as well, which is weird because even the crappiest Horror flicks thrived in the mid 80's.
Day of the Dead was no recieved well during the 80's. They said it was missing the "flash" and the fun of Dawn of the Dead. They said it felt like more of the same (despite the fact that it's feel is drastically different from Romero's other flicks), and was slow. It was considered a bomb by most critics, both financially and artistically.
It took them nearly 20 years to realize that the exact oposite is true. It was a film that was ahead of its time.

Amen brother! 😱
But I like the look of Frank and Freddy in 'The Return of the Living Dead' just before they become zombies, they have dark brown patches around their eyes and white skin.
In my opinion, that's how recently turned zombies should look.

I enjoyed the originality and reinvention of 28 Days Later the most.
Well, the presentation in "28 Days Later" was original, but the story was a little hackneyed, since we already saw it in "The Omega Man", "The Last Man on Earth" and then again at the end of "Resident Evil". STILL, the presentation, re-invention, and execution are what made it such a damn good movie, and that's all that matters.

A pity the poll didn't included Lucio Fulci's Zombie.
I don't think any of Fulci's movies belong in a "Best of.." poll because he's a mediocre director. Especially not "Zombie", because he didn't write it. He's as mediocre a director as Romero, who I find to be overrated, and NOT getting credit for the right reasons.
When it comes to special effects, Fulci's the godfather of gore. Storywise, he's the godfather of bore.

To me he does. Zombie had some of the best scenes in any Zombie movie.
Spoiler:What I like the most is that Fulci centralizes the film in the Caribbean which is the birth place of the zombie myths. Also the music in the film help build tension in the film. The score was great and the sounds of the drums (symbols of voodoo) added more suspence to the film.
The Zombie fighting the shark and the infamous eye scene made this film worth watching again and again.
Besides, I would put Fulci's Zombie over House of the Dead any day of the week.
