Best and Worst zombie movie ever

[Donthoseme]

"Omega Man" Charlton Heston at his best. I love the way that movie opens, him cruising through town with the top down, then firing full-auto into the windows at the zombies.

Wow DeathBrewer you have truely refined zombie movie taste. I am very impressed. I loved The Omega Man so much i made a tribute beer. The Omega Ale. What a film. I love the old mustang he steals in the beginning. I also like the part where the black woman hits him with the pistol and yells "your name is mud". That's a lot of jive for me.

 

[DeathBrewer]

She was foxy. If she was the last woman left on earth, I wouldn't be too dissapointed

Best zombie movie could go a lot of ways. The worst zombie flick I've ever seen was a musical called "Song of the Dead". Production values were sub-par, acting was wretched, but something about choreographed zombies made it impossible to look away.

If we are being broad in our definition of Zombie then ...

28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, I am Legend or Dawn of the Dead (Romero) are pretty equal to me as being the best.

 

[Evan!]

NOTLD, Dawn, Day...all great. Even though it was too political, I still like Land...and I appreciated Diary for what it was, though neither of them lived up to Dawn. 28 days later was great stuff, so was Shaun of the Dead.

I'm a huge huge fan of the Walking Dead comics...hell yeah, better than any Zombie movie. As is World War Z...we'll see if Brad Pitt can make a decent movie version of WWZ, though. I'm surely hoping he does, and will be supremely pissed if he effs it up.

 

[TxBrew]

I thought Outpost ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outpost_(film) ) was an alright movie but they were more ghosts than zombies. The mystic behind Die Glocke is pretty interesting.

I am printing your reply and showing it to my wife to prove there are others like me. People who sift through the dollar bin looking for discarded zombie movie gems. People who anxiously await the release of movies from the writing stage and are there to scrutinize the castins process all the way through to end production. F ing awesome!

this is on my worst list

lol

i liked resident evil 1.. the other 2 suck

sotd was awesome

 

[delboy]

Nope...they used the same crap from the old movies instead of going back to the book. Makes me wonder if they even read the damn thing.

DB whats the books like???

Just wondering have any of the people who enjoyed shaun of the dead seen any of "spaced" its a sitcom by the director and the two main actors in shaun of the dead and a lot of the cast.
Was wondering if it was loaded with too much 'UK humour' or do the hollywood pastiches come across?

 

[DeathBrewer]

It was like 150 pages You'll have to read it.

Spaced was great. I like when they have the gun fight in the living room. "Put a group of guys together...always the same."

[Decojuicer]

Spaced is excellent. There are a lot of pop culture references in it. You do see a lot of the same people in spaced that you see in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. It seems that Simon and Nick made it big and decided to take their friends along for the ride. I watched the whole Spaced series in three or four days on youtube, and laughed my arse off.

I just wish that they would make the DVD's available in the U.S. I heard that they were going to, but I have yet to see them.

 

[DeathBrewer]

It appears you can get them on netflix:

Netflix Online Movie Rentals - Rent DVDs, Classic Films to DVD New Releases

and Amazon:

Amazon.com: Spaced: The Complete Series: Jessica Hynes, Simon Pegg, Julia Deakin, Nick Frost, Mark Heap, Katy Carmichael, Aida the Dog, Lucy Akhurst, Anna Wilson-Jones, Bill Bailey, James Lance, Peter Serafinowicz, Edgar Wright, Gareth Edwards, Humph

I believe Simon Pegg was the "actor" by trade, brought his buddy Nick Frost along with them, and the rest of them met through acting...maybe Spaced was the first thing they did together? I don't remember exactly. Frost definitely was just Simon's buddy, tho.

 

[Decojuicer]

Show off. I new that I should have checked Amazon, even before I posted.

I do believe that they were all actors together on Spaced. What I meant was that when Simon decided to make SotD and HF, he decided to use all of his friends from the early days of acting,

Either way, it's some funny stuff.

 

[DeathBrewer]

Yes, you did know better, didn't you

Gotcha. I just know that Nick Frost was not even an actor before Spaced.

 

[Decojuicer]

No, he was a stand up comedian, I believe. He and Pegg worked some of the same places and became good friends. I hear that in their next movie together, they are going to do a role reversal. Frost is going to play the lead and Pegg is going to be the goofy buddy.

I am looking forward to seeing Pegg play Scotty in Star Trek this summer.

I saw this one that was so terrible I had to watch just to see if it got any better. it didn't. I don't even remember what it was called, but it was about some alien plague that turned people to zombies in some podunk town in australian. Aliens came to rescue us, but one person escaped.

Best zombie movies I like are the Resident Evil ones.

 

[DeathBrewer]

Die You Zombie Bastards! (2005)

This movie was incredibly awesome and absolutely terrible at the same time. Read the synopsis:

Red Toole is an average good-hearted serial killer who enjoys killing hippies almost as much as he loves his wife Violet. But when Violet is kidnapped Toole sets out to reclaim the woman he loves.

 

[TxBrew]

Fido is another odd Zombie movie.

Fido (2006)

The movie you are referring to is UNDEAD!!! It was corny with the whole alien thing but when i guy strings togeather 3 shotguns into one i am entertained.

 

[Mutilated1]

Honorable mention would have to go to "Army of Darkness: Evil Dead III"

But the undisputable best zombie movie of any and all time in the history of ever is this:

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! : Strippers VS Zombies - Official

and this would be a close second: Zombie Strippers - Official Site

YEA that's it! Thanks, don those me! I knew someone would jog my memory. I did like the triple shotgun, but man that must've been so unwieldy. That's what I get for renting movies bases on the box art.

 

[DeathBrewer]

Isn't it "dont hose me"?

I forgot about Land of the Dead. That was pretty good for a modern zombie movie.

 

[Donthoseme]

Yea it's "Don't hose me" I think it's from a movie. It also has to do with my life long fear of hoses. God damn those rubber bastards.

I actually watched Land of the Dead last night. Any movie with John Leguizamo sucks a little in my book. Why is he still acting?? (I think it's pretty safe that he's not reading this blog right?)

 

[EvilTOJ]

Yea it's "Don't hose me" I think it's from a movie.

Sorry, I tend to do that. Just ask tha taint chicken

 

[Donthoseme]

haha. No prob. i have a lot of people thinking it's Italian....Don Thosame.

 

[Milhouse]

I'm a big zombie fanatic. Most my favs have been mentioned. I really liked Resident Evil series. I thought House of the Dead was a real sucky zombie movie. If you like zombies I would recommend "The Walking Dead" comic book from Image The Walking Dead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a great read.

 

[Mutilated1]

How about Zombie Comics ? Any of you guys ( and gals ) like the zombie comics books ? "Dead World" for instance ?

How about just general zombie artwork ?

Want to see my original Vincent Locke zombie portrait ?

This is me as a zombie - lol

 

[Donthoseme]

That is awesome!!!

 

[Mutilated1]

Thanks - yeah I totally love zombies

 

[HoppyDaze]

+1 Shaun of the Dead
+1 Army of Darkness "Shop smart, Shop S Mart"
Evil Dead II is freaking hilarious too
