martoon Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Probably been done before but what's your fave zombie film(s). Sit me in front of a good one and I'm as happy as a zombie in a room full of screaming people. Any less obvious recommendations that I may have overlooked would be welcome too.

Get ****ed. The original Dawn of the dead is miles better than the remake. And I mean miles. Zombieland is a cracking movie and also enjoyed Land of the dead and World War Z despite hating Brad Pitt.

Bauld Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Zombie films are hard to classify in one lot. You have the serious films and the ones you watch for the comedy value and general piss taking. Best zombie film is probably Shaun of the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousset1 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Okay Dokey. Plague Of The Zombies Hammer Studios Very British, and very good. Night Of The Living Dead Dawn Of The Dead 1978 Day Of The Dead Diary Of The Dead Bonus! It stars the very tasty fox, Michelle Morgan. Schwing! All excellent and all by the master of the genre, George A. Romero. Return Of The Living Dead If you want a bit of a laugh watch this one. Bonus! Sexy graveyard dance by a naked punkette.

Better call Saul Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Dawn of the Dead (1978 version) Evil Dead 3 I didnt think eveil dead was a zombie movie ! was it not more of demons and other stuff ? I havent seen 2 or 3 World war Z watchable but to much CGI and the story line worse than most zombie movies The new Dawn of the dead was great it had Zombies that were aggresive and fast where as the older dawn of the dead the zombies were dopey , slow and i found it hard to belive they could ever take over the world so it made the story line pish the agrresion shown by the wee lassie and the nurses husband lewis at the start of the movie was superb !!!! 28 days later had it going on the start of the 28 weeks later movie was gripping stuff for a zombie movie the rest of it was average day of the dead , night of the living dead and the living dead etc were just slow slow slow but someparts funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad von Carstein Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 28 Days Later is not a Zombie filum.......Romeros films are the standard , but sadly have not aged well, it would be an idea for someone to recreate the essence of his films rather than the horror /comedy pish that has been released instead. A Waliking Dead on speed so to speak is what 's required.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¼½¾ Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Has anyone watched Night of the Living Dead in 3D? I downloaded a copy, maybe 8 or 9 years ago, and haven't watched it yet. It's the old type of 3D, where you wear the coloured glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogz Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nowhere near 'Shaun of the dead' or 'Zombieland' standards but a few comedy zombie films not mentioned yet: Wasted AwayFidoJuan of the Dead In terms of horror (the last 2, like '28 days' may be argued aren't zombie films): Rammbock (Decent German horror)Pontypool Rec and for a slightly different take on the zombie film: Colin (Very low budget - but a decent watch imho)Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The is 28 Days Later a zombie film or not? Is a popular topic online. There are scores of pages debating it with most leaning toward it is a 'new zombie' film. Both points raised on this thread already are brought up nearly every time and discussed - they can run, and they're not dead. I'm not saying anybody on the thread is wrong or right (except, you know, those how say it isn't a zombie film are wrong ), but interestingly two of the three naysayers would go on to disagree about one of their choices too. luckyBatistuta plumps for Train to Busan (which I watched last week on the back of the JKB film recommendation thread and thoroughly enjoyed) but the 'zombies' certainly run in that film, so by Rousset1's reasoning, they're not zombies either - which also rules out World War Z There seems to be a school of thought that if it's not a Romero style zombie, then it's not a zombie.

Norm Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Been a while since I watched it but isn't "Brain Dead" a zombie movie? An old Peter Jackson movie if I remember correctly. I'm not sure I like the movies where zombies are the result of a virus though. I mean, if people get sick, the first port of call to make them better is a bowl of soup, a blanket and some rest. Not a bat and chainsaw to the head. Just another example of our modern uncaring society in my opinion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantjambo Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 If '28 Days Later' is classed as a zombie movie then that's my favourite. Or maybe 'I Am Legend'. Again though this may not be classed as a zombie movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
