So, what have you been watching, and what are you favorites? love.gif




To my knowledge there are few zombies movies i haven't watched, so it's always nice to find a new one that i like.

Today i watched this one, and it is quite good, especially for a (seemingly) low-budget production:



Don't watch the one on youtube, as it is doubled in german or some {censored}.

Everything Romero did afterwards was meh.

 

if we're being honest i love those, but i wouldn't consider them to be the ultimate zombie movies of all time.


and if we're being double honest i like the remake of DotD better than the original, although i like the original too.




of all of those i watched, and i've watched a lot of them, Cemetery Man still trumps everything else. not only as a zombie movie, but as a whole.

The first one that really put a hook in my sides was the '78 Dawn Of The Dead. One of my all time favorites, zombies or not.


Night and Day are good too. I didn't see the Day remake, but I saw the Dawn one and... ehhh, it wasn't bad, just not totally awesome.


Heh, I do kinda like Land Of The Dead, I really like Hopper and Leguizamo so that probably contributed.


Shaun Of The Dead, although kind of a parody, is fantastic and has all the horror elements of other zombie movies, but faaaaar better dialogue.


I LOVE the 1st half of 28 Days Later, when they're just on the move in London and the countryside, but once they reach that military blockade, I fall asleep. idn_smilie.gif


Return Of The Living Dead is awesome. It just breaks all the rules, talking zombies and such. Nuts.


I've seen the first two Resident Evils and, they're just ok.

i honestly think Shaun of the Dead, while cool, is one of the most overrated zombie movies of all time. a lot of the time nothing happens, barely any gore, weak kills. mehsville. didn't invite me to watch it a second time, honestly, although i liked it for what it was.


i'm more into survival type of movies.



and yeah, Return of the Living Dead is awesome, one of my favorites.

Oh yeah, Zombieland. I though it was really gonna suck and I quite liked it. The trailers and marketing had that WHOA TOTALLY AWESOME, BRO vibe, but it was pretty cool.

Yeah, I mean it was definitely a comedy/horror, and not so much a survival thing. I just really liked Somon Pegg in it and thought the writing was super clever, lots of call backs and recurring motifs, references to other moves, good characters, and I'm not insistent on lots of gore. It's fine but I definitely don't need it, though any movie where a guy gets ripped apart and has his intestines eaten is gory in my book.

maybe i'll watch it again some time soon.

 

seemed too slow-paced and empty in some parts when i watched it first.
