Best Zombie Movies

[Hellspawn28]

Anyone seen Zombi 7 before? One of the funniest movies that I've ever seen?

[NSZ]

Stay far, far away from the 2008 "remake" of DAY OF THE DEAD. It's supposed to be god awful.

It is god awful. I mean, you wanna talk about bastardizations, this is a top contender for the worst. Take the word of someone who had the misfortune of watching it, avoid this waste of film reels as though it were the plague.

[Dr. Nishiyama]

Night of the Living Dead(original)
Dawn of the Dead(Original. The remake sucks.)
Shaun of the Dead
Day of The Dead(original)

This. (Though I personally don't care for SHAUN..can't stand British humor)

I'd also add

-Zombi 2 (aka ZOMBIE in the U.S., hands down, one of the best zombie films ever made)
-Return of the Living Dead ( funny as hell)
-The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue (A criminally underrated film)
-Zombi 3 (Silly Italian zombie flick, lots of fun)
-Hell of the Living Dead aka Night of the Zombies (So bad it's good. It has to be seen to be believed)

Stay far, far away from the 2008 "remake" of DAY OF THE DEAD. It's supposed to be god awful. Like Proof said, stick with the Romero classic from '85.


I'd avoid Romero's more recent zombie films unless you're already a big fan of his work. I personally really like SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD, and I enjoy LAND OF THE DEAD for what it is..though I don't know that I'd go as far to recommend them to people. LAND is especially bland, and SURVIVAL, being an indie zombie film, it may simply not appeal to some people. (Some of the acting can be cringe worthy).

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed Survival of the Dead! I personally think it's a fun little zombie movie! Also enjoyed Land quite a bit, but i understand why some people wouldn't like it. I wonder just how much studio interference Romero had (running time, proper characterizations etc)

[Goji]

I still like to believe he's still on hiatus after Land of the Dead...

What does this mean exactly? That you pretend the two films he did after LAND just didn't happen..or something?

Oh, and Hell of the Living Dead. It's not that scary, but it is one of the (unintentionally) funniest films I've seen.

Actually, it's not even remotely scary, but it IS funny as hell.

Yeah, I really like it, actually. Sure, it's a little rough around the edges, but I find it to be miles better than DIARY, which I just can't bring myself to like, no matter how many times I try watching it.

From what I understand, George wasn't too fond of working with a major studio when he did LAND. Universal was very excited when they picked up the film, and it did extremely well overseas, though the experience just left him wanting to do stuff independently again.

I met George at a horror convention back in 2010, and he told me that the odds of him working with another major studio again were very low.

[Proofpoochie]

I hated both Land of the Dead and Survival of the Dead but, I thought Diary of the Dead was at least entertaining despite the bad acting.

[Hellspawn28]

You think that after Land of the Dead, Romero would be a good or decent director again until Diary of the Dead (2008) came out. I watched Diary of the Dead on TV in October and I thought it was pretty bad. I hear Survival of the Dead (2009) isn't very good either.

Understandable. At least we can agree on the acting in DIARY. It's one of the things I just can't get past...I hate all of the actors.

DIARY sucks.

SURVIVAL has been on Netflix instant queue for ages. You should at least check it out. It's not like it's CARNOSAUR, (which I know you watched recently. , Actually, so did I, and it was even worse than I remembered!)

[Hellspawn28]

My biggest issue is how bad the CG looked in Diary. It look like it came from a Syfy channel original movie, not to mention that the acting sucked and nothing was scary. Romeo once used amazing practical effects in his previous zombie movies, now uses god awful CG gore.

[Berzerkgodzilla]

I actually really enjoyed Diary >.>

And I have it on DVD

[wrongnote85]

lotta the same shiz is getting posted ITT...

i can't believe i forgot about hell of the living dead! that movie is awesome. there's a scene when the main character chick strips down and goes into the cannibal village and i SWEAR TO GOD one of the cannibals has face paint that king diamond had to have taken 'inspiration' from. also, her death at the end of the film is by far one of the most amazing things ever put to film. not to mention she looks really awesome without any clothes on.

Dammit, now you're making me want to give it another chance...

[Berzerkgodzilla]

I find it fun to watch, the bad acting it makes it all the more enjoyable

Yes. Diary and Survival are so far, far, FAR below the other four Romero Dead films. Diary was amazingly awful, and Survival wasn't much better. Both films feature everything wrong with horror films nowadays (fake-looking CG gore, cliched stinger music, unlikable characters) and seeing that present in the work of George Romero, one of the great pioneers of horror cinema, is heartbreaking.

[HayesAJones]

Zombieland is pretty awesome. Haven't watched many others. Zombies just don't interest me all that much. I prefer my beasties to be just that- beasts, not undead human.

[Hellspawn28]

-Zombi 3 (Silly Italian zombie flick, lots of fun)

That was also known as Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (1981) right? The Zombi movies always seem confusing since you have so many of them? You have Zombie 4: After Death, Zombie 5: Killing Birds, Zombie 5: Revenge in the House of Usher, Zombie 6: Monster Hunter and Zombi 7 (aka Zombie '90: Extreme Pestilence). I was also told that Sexy Nights of the Living Dead (1980) is also given the title of Zombi 4: Cave Dwellers in Argentina?

[FlamingZilla23]

The only movie that ever comes close to being good as "Night of the living Dead" is "Day of the Dead" in my opinion.

[Tyler]

^ I think I agree.

Burial Ground is another Italian zombie film, but it's unrelated to Fulci's movie. So is Zombi 3, but that film is considered part of the "saga" because its production started as such, and Fulci was involved. Oh, and Zombi 6 is just an alternate title for the movie Absurd, which isn't a zombie film at all.

[Goji]

Nope. DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) is equally as fantastic as those two.

Oh, and Zombi 6 is just an alternate title for the movie Absurd, which isn't a zombie film at all.

Indeed, it's more of a cannibal film. IIRC, ABSURD is the sequel to ANTHROPOPHAGUS.
