For zombie film junkies....
Remember that good ol' flick that came out not long ago called 28 Days Later?

Woohooo!

Check out Spaced. No zombies or gore but it's Shaun and Ed... well the actors anyways.

I loved that one!djm wrote:Zombie films don't cut it for me .... except Shaun of the Dead. Vampires and werewolves don't do anything for me either, come to think of it. Why don't they make more like Shaun of the Dead?

It's too bad that the original guys from 28 Days Later aren't involved, but it still looks interesting.
I've been reading (very slowly) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walking_Dead">The Walking Dead</a>, a comic in the George Romero zombie tradition. So far it's been pretty good, interesting characters and a great story.
Great zombie movies have always been more about the people and their reactions, and a critique of society, than the zombies themselves.
That said, zombies are pretty darn cool.

I'm a zombie fanatic.
I have 15 movies so far and still growing. I really like the Resident Evil movies.
Another good comic zombie flick is Dead and Breakfast.
There's at least six I still want to collect if I can find them.
I also have Max Brooks two books, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie Wars and The Zombie Survival Guide.
I have the Walking dead series. The first 12 anyway.
Ah. Zombies. Long may they shamble.
So here's a question for zombie movie buffs. Do you prefer the slow or the fast zombies?

The only zombie movie I really dug was Hide and Creep. I found it funny as all get-out, and it's set credibly in the South, replete with cliches and in-jokes, which for me makes the flavor of the movie's humor irresistible somehow.

Zombie films never interested me until 28 Days Later.
Perhaps because 28 was set in places I knew, and the zombies actually ran.
The urban/techno soundtrack was also excellent.
In most other films it seemed that as long as you had an ability to walk at a slightly brisk pace, zombies presented little threat.

Hot Fuzz is better than Shaun in my opinion. Brilliant film. They basically do to action movies what they did to zombie films.brianc wrote:djm wrote:Good one. I see Simon Pegg has a new film out - Hot Fuzz. Promises to be .... er .... interesting.
