Yea, DotD was pretty good, but not really the best or close to it. The problem is theres not alot of options out there.
I mean alot of oldies have been suggested, but I just worry they look fake due to outdated tech?
I'm also after specifically survival types. DotD is a perfect example.

No I'm not.
I have a 1080p projector and a 100" screen and a upscaling DVD player so when I downloaded a DVDrip of Dead Snow in DivX format and watched it on my "big-screen" the quality was fine. Just as good as a DVD. And a better atmosphere at my home then at the cinemas.
I'd rather make my own opinion on films (like Martyrs) than jump on the bandwagon cause everyone else says its a good movie.

Well that's good, I hope most are like that on here, I make my own opinions on films too.
I hope that wasn't a negative directed at me, excusing me of jumping on the bandwagon for saying Martyrs is good? I've liked Martyrs ever since it first came out in France on dvd, before most critics gave their opinion on the film here in this country.

You could have a look in some of the topics on French Horror, there is one topic somewhere in the Horror section about upcoming French films and some look like decent Zombie films.

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 EvilThe rest I've seen not really worth mentioning...
List your top Zombie movies and reccomend me the good ones!
I am drawn more and more to the "Zombie Survival" theme now as well. DOTD has always been my favorite horror flick but it it 30+ years old. I hope 28DL and WL can spawn a rebirth of quality movies in this genre? I just watched Resident Evil and I enjoyed it greatly. Lots of kick ass fun. I liked that the people were portayed as competent and exerted themselves instead of the usual lame and irrational behavior that horror movies feel they have to show the victims in.
I just picked this movie up. Scared the heck out of me when I was a kid. shocklaugh Has a lot of gore too.

when will people learn that 28 days and weeks later are NOT zombie films,
1- zombies are the livind dead,, people in 28 days never died, they got infected witha rage virus, so its more like a mad cannibal film
here's my fav zombie films
dawn of the dead (orginal, not the crap remake)
zombie flesh-eaters
zombie creeping flesh
versus
zombie holocaust
day of the dead
junk
bio-zombie
automaton transfusion
I to love the zombie franchise, and like so many on here I can't recommend the original Dawn of the Dead enough, the remake ain't half bad either but for the granddaddy of 'em all try the original, but hell any of George.A.Romero's zombie films are worth your time (inc. the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead) most zombie movies are about survivals in some form or another but I think I know what you mean so I also recommend:
Undead
Zombie Diaries
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
& Dead Meat
There are literally hundreds of zombie films out there, ranging from the great, the good and the downright bad - but hell when it comes to zombie movies who cares if they have the production value of a play.
I recommend (I know many have been put on here already, but there's no harming in beefing 'em up some more):
Dawn of the Dead (1974) * although the remake ain't half bad
Night of the Living Dead * again the remake is worth a look
Day of the Dead * AVOID the remake
Zombie Holocaust
Zombie Creeping Flesh 1,2 & 3
The Blind Dead saga
King of the Zombies (Hammer Horror Classic)
Zombie Diaries
28 Days/Weeks Later * although this is a grey area as to whether or not this is actually a zombie film(s)
and for 'shits and giggles' I'd recommend Return of the Living Dead Part 2.
