Never been a fan of zombie or splatter movies. It's just not my preference for a setting. I like genuinely bad movies, but all the violence and crappy effects makes it harder to separate what's real and what's faked untalentness.

I'd like to see a zombie movie which would ignore the old, cheap zombie flick routine and take a completely new perspective to zombiety itself. It could be shot through the eyes of a zombie, perhaps. Terry Gilliam should do a zombie movie.

A zombie movie through the eyes of a zombie would be extremely boring, and as soon as it'd become less boring, it's end, because you/the zombie would die by headshot.

I just wish the higher-up's would take their heads out of their asses for half a second, and move Zombie flicks from the Horror genre into the Terror genre. That'd be a step back into the right direction, at least. Zombies just aren't "Buh!" :jump forth from behind the bookcase with a knife: material; you can have any number of psychopatic characters doing that, wearing any spooky costume you please -- just leave the zombies out of it.

Secondly, the thing about outbreak movies is that they only have one thing in common: the actual outbreak. Everything else is up to the script writers / directors; I mean, there's as many individual stories out there, as there are individuals. Naturally, the film-industry fuckheads think zombies are in the same category as ghosts, monsters and psycho killers, and so it's all rock'n'roll survival teen horror crapfest. But the potential is limitless.

WHat other genre would you suggest they place a zombie film? Zombies are pretty scary creatures so the horror genre fits them well I think. That's one reason why I like zombie movies so much, because they mix the horror and post-apoc genres and the gore is just the icing on top.

I kinda see zombie movies in their own genre. They are zombie movies.

QFE.

While I'm not a fan of zombie movies per se, I really enjoyed the 28 days/weeks series and the new dawn of the dead (haven't seen the original).
Movies with slow zombies are worth watching once, with friends and beer, for laughs. UNDEAD was good for that purpose.

I read about those Brook books, but I have a question that needs to be answered before I decide to read them: how the fuck can a human army lose a field battle against zombies? I mean, a single tank should be all it takes to bring a brazillion of those fuckers down. I'm not even talking about aviation or napalm or a shitload of other weaponry that could be used against zombies. Explain, please.

Well it spread before the military really had a chance to mobilize some war against the zombies. I mean they look like real people from a distance and people were being bitten and carrying it for awhile before turning and then when they turned, the family members still treat them as if they have the flu or something. I don't know. Grab the abridged audiobook of World War Z. It's not too long, and it explains it pretty well, and the voice acting is pretty well done as they have people from all over the world with different accents.

And I guess this isn't really a spoiler: The humans do win. It just takes awhile.

I think that's how the genre got it's start. In NOTLD, it wasn't the zombies that would get you so much as the greed, ego, racism of your fellow man. Pick your pathos. Every Romero movie ends in widespread ennui. Even when faced with destruction, humans would rather get into ego-driven pissing contests, than cooperate for the greater good.

Zombies don't give a shit. They have no ego. They just want to eat brains.

Evil Dead has all the elements of a good zombie movie, except zombies.

How about Bad Taste on that list?

Bad Taste was more of an alien movie although they were brain-eating aliens...

The only Evil Dead movie I saw was Army of Darkness, but I would definitely not call that a zombie movie. Yes, dead bodies did come back to life but they were not interested in human flesh, they could sword fight with the living, they were only really in the climax of the movie.

Nicolai, if you see this please stop by and recommend some good zombie comics and books, or better yet zombie comicbooks.

I don't know if we have any zombie video game experts but it would help if they chimed in.

I added Evil Dead 1 and 2 but I'm really not sure whether these are actually zombie movies, haven't seen them so I can't really say.

Don't have time for this thread. Suffice to say the things in 28 Days/Weeks Later were not zombies. Aside from that you don't have Diary of the Dead, fucker.
