Hmm...Plan 9 and Land in top 10, that too over Dead Alive and RotLD...thats a sacrilege!:mad:

And what about the good ole' classic ones eh? Almost everyone has forgotten stuff like White Zombie, I Walked With A Zombie...

btw, where's Versus? Seems like the person who compiled that IGN list followed main-stream horror and did a search. I doubt that they themselves saw those "Top 10" which they mention.:rolleyes:

I don't know what my top 10 would be but I think I'd include Land but I don't know. I'd have to make two top 10's, one for classic and one for modern zombie films. As for Stacy I don't think I could ever put that in my top ten. I'd even put Fido, Evil, SARS Wars, The Happiness of the Katakuris, Flight of the Living Dead, Wild Zero, and plenty more over Stacy. To each their own though.

Not only did they leave out the ones you mentioned _V_ but they left out Re-Animator, the Blind Dead series completely, and loads of other great zombie films. You expected more though? This is IGN we're talking about. I was shocked to see them even mention Cemetery Man or Zombi 2.

Yeah you got a point, Des. Its actually an improvement.;)

Lets see how our Sub-Genre Zombie Top 7 stands up to that.

Or it could be, those were the only ones they have seen.

While I appreciated the subtle references to the games (I can list a bunch), the entire feel of the movie wasn't as gritty as I would expect. The first film has some merits, but by no means does it belong in a top 10 (at least not mine, you are entitled to your opinion...man).

What's with the RE hate? They weren't made to be amazing they were made to be fun. They were fun. A lot of zombie flicks that were made to be good sucked. Therefore, by some theory that I don't know, Resident Evil dominates over many, many others :D

Diary of the Dead will soon be on a list like that. Easily Romero's best since Day
