Zombie Movies - What are your picks
 

So last night I'am thinking, its the night before Holloween time for Zombie movies. I rented 28 days & Dawn of the Dead (2004). Well heres where things went down hill. 28 days was way too long & didn't have the scares to it. So in goes Dawn Of The Dead & it was low on the scare meter. Dawn had the gore but again not the scares. The fun thing about Dawn was the special features with Tom Savini & the zombie survival tactics.
So whats your zombie picks then for the Holloween party tonight?
By the way happy halloween

zombies...
 

day of the dead i've always loved.
i feel like a little erotic horror though so no zombies tonight i'll watch my fave vampire movie: Vampires in Venice. so many poignant moments and a wonderful atmosphere about this movie...
i'll be feeling sad and missing you,hon.:(

Re: zombies...
 

the klaus kinski film?

"Dawn of the Dead 78" is my absolute favorite, followed by Lucio Fulcis' "Zombie" or "Zombie 2":)

Hmm zombie flicks, well, of course you can't beat Romero's original trilogy, also Dead Alive, Zombie, 28 days was ok but i don't really consider it a zombie flick...

"Dawn of the Dead" (78), "Return of the Living Dead" and "Re-Animator"

Zombi 2, original Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, I liked Resident Evil (but a lot of people didn't). Zombie movies are interesting because they're not really scary as the premise of them is. A group of people fighting off the undead who just keep increasing in numbers while supplies start to run low and human nature kicks in which starts problems within the groups of people trying to survive.

George Romero's original trilogy would be the obvious choice. Beyond these, Fulci's zombie movies are usually fairly decent, as long as you're not expecting high art. Zombie movies usually don't deliver many scares for me, so I can't really suggest anything that works on that level.

agree and yes, the Kinski movie-it's sooo romantic:(

Yeah, if you're gonna watch "Dead Alive" or Fulci movies, get the unrated versions. And the "Dead Alive " lawn mower scene is one of the top 5 for bloodiest kills scenes. :)

Ah, how could I have forgotten Dead Alive! Most over the top gore movie ever. Oh, and it's hilarious.

Dead or Alive
 

Funny as all get out.. Get suggestions & any old school films would be great also.. Thanks folks :D

top 5 bloodiest? its impossible to get any bloodier at all! this is the bloodiest scene in any movie ever!

great great movie. my favorite zombie movie by far.

Ehhh, I do like the Dead Alive for the gore, but some of the campy humor is just a little more campy than I care for, but a fun movie nonetheless. There was one movie that I heard of that was really gory, but right now I can't think of it. It's labled on a VHS cassette under the production "Shriek Show". They've also had titles like "Beyond The Darkness" (AKA "Buried Alive"), "Burial Ground" (AKA "Zombie 3") which has some of the most ridiculous scenes, but it had no campy humor and a good amount of gore for the 'feeding scenes'. And ya gotta give em a plus for using real maggots on some of the zombie outfits. lol

well, as for gory movies ive hear that the "Gore Gore Girls" is pretty over the top, ive only seen one scene from it, and it was rediculously stupid. girl dies due to lacerations to the ass. retarded stuff.

Shaun of the Dead is my favorite movie ever. I'm also partial to Zombi 2. Who doesn't want to see a zombie fight a shark?

Dawn of the Mummy - Despite the title, I think this could qualify as a good zombie movie. It's also dark and oppressive.

I have the R rated version of Dead Alive, and it has the lawnmower scene in the end (but its not that bloody) is the unrated version that much bloodier than the R rated version?

Hell yeah, I've seen both versions and the unrated version is much bloodier. Also, is the "Dead Alive" version under the AKA title "Brain Dead" much gorier than the unrated "Dead Alive" version? Never saw the "Brain Dead" version but heard it has much more gore the the US unrated one.

nope. Braindead has no more gore then dead alive. i read about it, it only has like two scenes in the basement that had been changed around.

Thanks, I got to go out and get the Unrated version

Really? Okay, so much for the extra gore rumor. :) So what exactly happened with the two "basement scenes" that got changed around?

night of the living dead has to be my favorite!
