Zombie Horror

So yea, recently I've been really into Zombie horror movies, more specifically, Zombie Survival (or similar) types.

It pretty much started after I read 'Zombie Survival Guide' and 'World War Z' (which they might be making a movie on soon), both excellent books by Max Brooks, and highly regarded. I recommend people to read it if you are interested. I actually listened to the audiobook, better than reading I think 😄

Anyway, here are a few of the ones I've watched and how I rank them...

1. 28 Days Later
2. Dawn of The Dead
3. I Am Legend
4. Quarantine
5. 28 Weeks Later
6. Resident Evil

The rest I've seen not really worth mentioning...

List your top Zombie movies and reccomend me the good ones!

Did you fail to see the HORROR section... and I can't believe you put Quarantine in your list over the original [REC].

Well I only recently got into this genre, so I only watched the newer films.

Oops, I just checked and there is a horror section. But seriously, they're probably freaks there. I feel safer discussing it here 😛

I'll move it to the Horror Forum.

I hated I Am Legend.
This could easily be the worst book-movie I have EVER seen. If it wanted to work on similar idea as I am Legend, it should not have called itself that.

It was terribleee.

Hi Placidity.

It's great that you're getting into the zombie subgenre, it's probably my favorite in the entire horror genre. I'd definitely recommend that you begin watching older zombie films, they are by far the best ones. Out of the ones you listed really only 28 Days Later is anything special.

So, here's the ones I recommend for you.

The original Night of the Living Dead should be the first one you see, since it more or less created the archetype that all modern zombie films follow. It's also one of the best zombie films, nay, horror films, in existence. Extraordinarily important. See it asap.

Of course the original Dawn of the Dead. Arguably the best zombie film ever made. Then see Day of the Dead.

Also check out Return of the Living Dead. It's a very funny and silly zombie movie, but it's excellent. Also some of Fulci's work is great - Zombi 2 (Sometimes known simply as 'Zombie'😉 and The Beyond.

Some more obscure ones that are worth seeing are Cemetery Man and Dead Alive.

There are many others but these should get your foot in the door. Enjoy.

Ha ha, you have no choice now! 😛

I recommend [REC], even though you now know the ending thanks to the inferior remake. And once you have seen it, swap it in your list and delete Quarantine. 🙂 I say so. Oh and I Am Legend, delete delete. 😛

I recommend you read the actual book I Am Legend. Not even zombies, from what I remember of the book they were closer to vampires.

God, I just love the book, the crushing burden of loneliness and desperation and final realisation that you have become what you were trying to fight - a scary thing in the ''day'' that kills indiscriminately.

i agree

Dead Snow
Undead
Re-Animator
Boy Eats Girl
Slither

So you have seen Dead Snow already? what's it like? It's not out here, or America, or Australia yet.

Boy Eats Girl is terrible though.

Topic starter, if you haven't seen it yet, check out the British spoof Horror/Comedy Shaun of the Dead, it's good.

Yea I loved Shaun of the Dead. I havn't seen the orignal Dawn of the Dead, but loved the newer version and heard that they might be doing a Dawn of the Dead 2...

I thought the Dawn of the Dead 'remake' was rather good too, as long as the next one isn't like the Day of the Dead remake, that was just horrendous.

I've posted my thoughts on Dead Snow here before; its got some moments of pure greatness.

Not out? That's why people invented torrent sites.

Boy Eats Girl is fun.

Is it any good? I wanna see it if it is.

Yeah I know it's has been out in Norway for some time, but outside of Norway it is hardly showing anywhere yet.

Thought so. I'm not a fan of illegal film downloading/streaming, so I haven't seen it yet. Will have to wait till it's out on DVD in another country if it's not out here before.

Dead Snow is playing here on Sunday as part of the Sydney Film Festival.

So it is playing around the world, you just have to keep an eye out.

I'd rather download and watch movies before the hype.

That's a film festival yes, I'm talking an actual cinema release/dvd release, not all can get to film festivals where films you want to see are playing. Are you going to the Sydney Film Festival then?

I'd rather see a 100% quality film than a download. Hype or no hype.
