Ah, an opinion and $2.25 will buy you a cup of coffee....but I just didn't like very much of anything in the Dawn of the Dead remake.

Even the makeup designs, which were done well by excellent artists, were a bit too subtle and flesh-colored. Not enough gray or green! I wanted the zombies to really look different from the humans, and for the most part, they just looked like crazy, injured humans. A signature skin color, as simple as that sounds, works better and would have helped. At least in the original Dawn of the Dead, you could tell a zombie instantly on sight by its gray skin tone.

land of the Dead ... and no mention of Day of the Dead ?

plan 9 has no business being on this list - not even for cheeze value. it was in no way shape or form a zombie film as most people define it.

Yes, I do not understand how Land of the Dead could possibly reside on anyone's list. It was absolute tripe.

After consideration, however, I have formed my list (in no particular order):
  • Night of the Living Dead
  • Zombie 2 (Zombie)
  • Dead Alive
  • Night of the Comet
  • Shaun of the Dead
  • Dawn of the Dead
  • 28 Weeks Later
  • Return of the Living Dead
  • Planet Terror
  • Fido

I actually thought that 28 Weeks was a better film than 28 Days.

Oof. I want to put Diary of the Dead on that list... But it was so belabored and heavy-handed.

If they had gotten rid of the voice over entirely, it would have been a significantly better film.

Fido is a definate add to the list.

one of my favorite horror films in a long time. very clever, very well done.

i think Land of the Dead was a good zombie film .. heads and shoulders above what we're used to being offered ...

but it wasnt a good George Romero zombie film.

that particular disappointment made it seem far worse than it was.


haven't seen Diary of the Dead yet but i'm looking forward to it .. especially since i actually touched some of the zombie heads :D

That's exactly how I feel about it, I enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as Night, Dawn, or Day. Diary was great, the voice-over was ok and made it feel more like you were watching a movie put together by the people involved. In my opinion keeping the vioce-over but using less cameras would have been better for the film. Either way, I really had a great time with it.

I was pleasantly surprised with FIDO. Fun movie that really captured the feel of the 50's.
