Zombies

[orj]

Thanks for the tip Steinhaus, I'll check that out.

I like zombies because they spread all over the world. Vampires, werewolves and what not can wreak havoc in a town or a city but zombies tend to annihilate global civilization!

Can't touch that!

Zombies also have the subtle horror of switching a character from cherished loved one, to raving monster.

Marrage can do that to a woman, no need to turn em into a zombie.

Thanks azscoob. I'm getting married next month!

I just saw George Romero's new one "Survival of the Dead"

It's OK, not his best work but it'll do in a pinch for some Halloween season viewing. There is a scene where a guy shoots a zombie in the mouth with a flare gun then lights a cigarette off his head. Gotta give thumbs up to that.

You're getting married??? Cool! What??? a cig and not a cigar?.......I'll have to review it myself before giving credit.

 

[azscoob]

[cheezydemon3]

I wish I could!

It was on demand for a while and I kept putting it off till
I had some one to watch it with, now I can't find it. Where did you find a copy?

 

[cheezydemon3]

On demand as in CABLE? I don't think it is on netflix instant.

 

[cheezydemon3]

WHOAH!!!!!!

FIDO was AWESOME. It was a little along the lines of Pride prejudice and zombies. It was set in the all too cheery and silly 1950s genre of "Leave it to Beaver" only with zombies.

Too cool.

You got it. I love on Demand, used to be called paper view. Same price as Blockbuster, no late fees, and sometimes they get stuff before it's available anywhere else.

 

[cheezydemon3]

My "on demand" has tons of free movies. So many that I am NEVER gonna "paper view".

Between that and Netflix, I wonder how Neanderthal man ever got by.

 

[HomelessWook]

I support this thread

 

[orj]

Isn't Fido great?!

It's not a horror movie but I think they did a great job handling the zombie mythos.

My favorite line:

"Help! Grandpa's fallen, and he's getting up!!"

I just got a copy from Netflix. They have it, but I don't think they stream it.

Like I said, It's not his best work but it's alright. About 10 years ago I made the questionable decision to become an expert on zombie movies so I feel obligated to see them all!

 

[Frankfurtvr4]

Zombies scare the crap out of me. Imagine them hitting a dense, poor population with limited control by the local government like Juarez.

I read "Z War" and the Survival Guide great books. I love the genre. To the person asking for a zombie western it has been done. Chris Cataan is in it and it sucks.

Short stories and poems written by independant and non-professional writers (though they write like pros):

GREAT stuff on there. I read it all the time. There are continuing adventures from writers, just click on the tags to bring up the other chapters for ongoing stories.

That is classic!

I'm no expert, but I love the genre, I have seen quite a few, most terrible.

This was one of the worst. I've seen it twice, can't really tell you what it's about. That bad.

 

[orj]

Yea I've seen it. It's pretty bad.
The 'Return of the Living Dead' series crapped out after the second installment.

If you want a zombie flick that's so bad it's almost good, check out "Gangs of the Dead".

The zombie apocalypse strikes south central L.A. and a group of survivors comprised of crips, bloods and cops are all holed up in a warehouse. You can imagine where it goes. Zombie gang-bangers are a great idea if you ask me but bad acting and a low budget makes it pretty cringe-worthy. The best part is when two cops are on the roof of the warehouse, contemplating the collapse of society, and you can see traffic in L.A. moving around like normal in the background!

 

[TxBrew]

Gangs of the Dead is next on my list then. I can't wait.

Did you ever see Zombie Strippers? I want to see it, but at the same time I don't.

 

[steinsato]

I've seen Zombie Strippers, it's pretty awful. Not only is the acting bad but the editing was worse. The end of the movie doesn't even match the rest of the plot, but their are lots of *******!

It starts out promising but soon descends into a a series of strip routines.

Can't say I recommend it as a zombie movie, it's basically just a chest fest. Not that I'm opposed to that sort of thing though!

 

[Barnzy02]

The Walking Dead premieres on AMC on Halloween. It is absolutely amazing, i go out of my way to watch good, great, bad, awful zombie movies.

I caught the first episode of this show early, and was blown away. Watch this show!!!!! The atmosphere, special effects, and gore are all top notch. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes the zombie genre.

Romero hasn't made a good movie since Dawn of the Dead (granted, i did enjoy Diary of the Dead), but this is going to be the new standard for zombies, imo.

edit: Also, don't know if anyone has seen or heard of it but if you're looking for a decent zombie film, look up the French film called 'the horde' ... it was doing the film festival circuit i think last year, i downloaded and watched it ... pretty damn good. The french know what they're doing when it comes to horror.

 

[BargainMugs]

I've already set it on my DVR. Can't wait for the premiere of Walking Dead.

Yea, I just read an article on it. It looks like it's gonna be amazing! I can't wait!

Hmmm,,, now I am conflicted.

 

[Ashz]

Wait what?!
What is it called? I have Day by dar armageddon and Beyond exile. I've read the first one twice and I'm workin on the 2nd for the 2nd time. Have you read Zomblog, WWZ, or Plague of the dead?

Excellent books. I also now have The Walking Dead scheduled on DVR tomorrow. Can't wait.

 

[Frankfurtvr4]

I loved Day By Day and Beyond Exile. I was not to crazy about the end of the second but overall they are wonderful. World War Z was excellent as well. I am dying to see Walking Dead but we are not going to get it here in Afghanistan anytime soon.

 

[Ashz]

Yes WWZ was very good as well. I too was a little let down by the ending in the second book, as it seemed a little muddled and thrown together. However the story was still pretty good. I am really anxious for a third. Who knows when that will happen though. I will post my thoughts on The Walking Dead tonight. Trailer and write ups make it look promising.

Keep your head down, and your chin up over there. And thanks for your service.
