'I was a middle-aged zombie' (Land of the Dead filming now)
http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2004-12-01-zombie_x.htm
28 Days Later is another one. Truly a riveting movie.
(Curious Smiley.)
LOL!
They're busy sending e-mails saying "send us 1000 dollars, we'll let you keep your shoes after we get done emptying your account."
Zombies have that brain diet thing going, and that gets expensive after awhile.
Amen on the original black and white NOTLD being the best zombie movie.....as a young teenager watching it at the drive-in (I date myself) then going home (where we lived right below a very large cemetery) and not having air conditioning and having my bed within "arms reach" of an open window, I couldn't sleep with my back turned towards the open window for weeks !! (cue the burning truck zombie feeding scene...)
They're coming to get you, Barbara !
did someone say zombie?

Bwaaaahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! snort...snort....
I thought it was fantastic. One of the best remakes I've seen. I love zombie movies!
Zombie movies are always pro-Second Amendment. In the remake, a big part of the movie was getting to Andy's gun store. Of course, all the firepower in the world couldn't save them from thousands of running zombies.
28 Days Later was set in gun-free England. I never understood why they didn't try to go to a police station and acquire some firearms.
Otherwise there would be no suspense.
I mean, how hard is it to blow the heads off of lethargic, brain dead cadavers?
Ping.
Blaire Witch Project. Never saw the "witch". Terrified the viewers.
I had to sleep with the light on. Don't tell anyone please. Doh! Did I just post that on the interenet!?!?
An excellent scene was when Ana's zombified husband is chasing after her as she drives away and he sees some woman standing in her yard, bolts after her and starts chewing her up! Classic!
Zombies movies just provide more action and less thinking than other monsters because there's more of them, more chance of mindlessly blowing away hundreds. Modern Dracula movies suck (sorry) because modern filmmakers are too hung up on the sexual aspects of the story and because the bloodsuckers of Hollywood are a little ambivalent about that good v. evil thing (unless someone makes Dracula a Southern sheriff circa 1966). The key character in Dracula is Van Helsing, and the best Van Helsing by far was the one in the Bela Lugosi film (Edward Van Sloan). Laurence Olivier ruined the Frank Langella version, as did Anthony Hopkins in the one he was in. Weak and vacillating like a shield of butter.
Hopkins is one of my favorite actors.
Though I've never watched any of those dreadful "costume dramas" he's starred in-which are usually Merchant-Ivory productions-almost every motion picture he's been in has been worth watching, in my estimation.
I like that movie as well. I think Ill watch it again tonight
I dont have much to contribute than to say this.
If you have a couple of free hours to kill then go to this site
www.raptorman.us
It's the online journal of a military officer trekking across the country trying to escape the living dead. It is extremely interesting, and pretty good for a first time writer.
It is somewhat engaging, although He quit posting this month for a while to work on the book version of the story.
It is silly, harmless fun.
zombie movies rock!
My favourites include:
Romero's living dead trilogy
Fulci's Zombie (but none of his other zombie films)
Night of the Comet
Zombie Flesh Eaters Two (only for the action scenes)
28 Days Later
Shaun of the Dead
I have about 15 zombie flicks at the moment and am always looking for good ones.
Am getting Manchester morgue and Zombie creeping flesh soon.
Whatever you do do not buy zombie flesh eaters 3 it is god awful and has absolutely no redeeming features.
Does anyone know of any good zombie movies or any to avoid?
