So, even if zombie films are not our absolute favorite type of horror film, you don't want to know what zombie films we like or don't?

Your research model is flawed.

In order for a film to be successful, it must appeal to more than a certain narrow audience segment. I actually work in market research for the movie industry, and even when we study the release of horror films we'll collect a sample of general moviegoers and a "horror fan" sample- horror fans being defined as viewers who have gone to see a high per centage of horror releases from the last few years, and not just people who consider themselves fans of the genre.

Nothing that hasn't been shown before. Maybe a fresh approach. Waiting for an unknown indie director with a novel idea to hit it big again (get what I am hinting at?).

1.Do you like horror films?

No shit.

2. What is your age?

Irrelevant question, so I'll give you an irrelevant answer, 20-30.

3. What is your gender?

Also irrelevant. Male.

4. What is your favourite subgenre of horror (Thriller, physiological, slasher, zombie ... etc)

Noir

5. In your opinion, what makes a good horror film?

Good story, pacing, acting and realistic characters.

6. In your opinion, what makes a bad horror film?

Anything that is opposite of what I stated in my answer above.

(if you answered 'zombies' for question 4, then please carry on with the questionnaire, if not thanks for your time.)

7. What is your favourite zombie film and why?

Why narrow it to zombie films?

8. What is your least favourite film and why?

Far too many to list.

9. What would YOU personally like to see in a zombie film?

Maybe something slightly more original, than a group of teenagers with a camera, making a zombie film.

Thanks.

No, thank you.

There's physiological horror. Videodrome, Tetsuo, The Fly. All Physiological horror stories. Also, your questionnaire is boring and I've been drinking. I'm not participating.

Tetsuo, yum! Tried doing a Dark Side of the Moon thing while watching Tetsuo once. Turned down the flick's audio and blasted Aphex Twin. Didn't match up like Wizard of Oz & Dark Side but the combo worked.

That must have been quite the experience. Try Flood by They Might be Giants with Nosferatu. It feels strangely right even as its blatantly wrong.
