supervike Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I think 1st person filming really has some great merit. I understand it has been a bit overused at times, but it's a reflection of our society. How often do you go somewhere touristy and see someone filming everything (but not really enjoying it, just filming it)... Zombies are so creepy because they represent that slow, relentless march towards death itself....But I think fast movie zombies are fantastic too...they just don't build the tension as much.

supervike Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Sorry to bring this back from the dead....but it is a ZOMBIE thread afterall, and no one has given it a headshot! I just watched DIARY OF THE DEAD this weekend. Uff...that was awful. So contrived and poorly written.... Anyone see Quarantine yet? Also, with the WALKING DEAD (graphic novel) I finally broke down and bought the next two in the series (I'm still behind by a few books)....It's not getting any more cheerful! But, they do capture that impeding fear very well. Still highly recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Dairy of the Dead - the only thing I liked was when some of the annoying blokes got ate. Otherwise, drivel and snot. Not yet on the Quarantine yet but I'm interested. It is supposed to be a remake off a spanish film apparently.

EricJ Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Casey and I have decided to go the the theatre and she's going to see the Bee's movie (some chick flick about knees or something), while I go to Quarantine, just haven't found a day yet. I recently saw Diary of the dead also, and agree that it was relatively poor. Still wondering if Stone's War will ever come out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinning Buddha Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Dance with the Dead (aka nerds save the world err well ok small town) ... 2 zombies kissing is just too funny for words even if the movie is total pants! Trailer Park of Terror (aka rednecks go zombie) ... the whole movie is HILARIOUS but the duct tape and deep fat fryer scenes are too funny!

HoAx Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Here is my two cents worth on movies not mentioned: Zombie Strippers = a good movie as a fun poke at zomie flicks Return of the living dead - necropolis = Terrible... throwing a shotgun instead of shooting it, means more brains for the zombies. Dead and Breakfast = good movie worth a watch. Ed and his dead mother = another fun movie this one is a "no brainer" (sorry for the pun) Zombie Penguins = it SUCKS!! We had it playing on the way to Gen Con. I wasn't even watching and it sounded bad. There is one out there called Special Dead but I have not seen it. Yes that is special as in short bus special.
