Zombie films anyone?

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Oh thanks, I've been written off then when the horde come for me. Don't worry about me, i've seen enough of the films to have my zombie plan in place

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Some of my faves.

Wild Zero - Japanese Zombie film with Japaense garage punk rock band Guitar Wolf and crew taking on the zombies. Also has a zombie love story.
Dead & Breakfast - Zombie horror/comedy with a singing narrator all through the film at intervals.
Undead - Aussie zombie film with a twist

[Manx Shearwater]

Braindead, by Peter Jackson

I have this on DVD. Very very funny indeed.

"I kick ass for the Lord!!"

Stakeland is brill and a different take on the subject, Pontypool.
Has anyone seen this? It's so weird.

It certainly does, late October, can't wait.
Do the brighton zombie walk Danny, it's a real laugh.

Enjoyed series one which marked something of a return to the Zombie genre for me (having been a Romero fan in my teens). Because of this, I rather embarrassingly found myself having nightmares on going to bed after watching each episode.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Siege of the dead, originally called Rammbock: Berlin Undead but renamed for the UK release

 

[JetsetJimbo]

The Walking Dead comic book series (on which the TV series is based) is well worth getting hold of. I've also recently downloaded an audio play in podcast format called We're Alive, haven't listened to it yet but it comes highly recommended by a lot of people whose opinions I respect (and still has a 5-star user rating on iTunes after 70-something episodes, which is pretty impressive when you think about it). Lastly, the two Left 4 Dead games are a must-have if you have a mate or three to play with.

Ok, none of the above are films, but as an all-round Zombie fan I thought someone might be interested!

Zombieland is a good Zombie comedy film as is Shaun of the Dead

 

[Guy Fawkes]

I have found a lot of Zombie films are really poor and disappointing tbh - and the worst of the lot is probably the Zombie Diaries

However if you were to extend this to include films along the lines of a deadly Virus / plague and/or a battle for survival then i would recommend :
Doomsday
the Resident Evil films
28 days / 28 weeks later
Reign of fire

 

[Weretheweststand]

I'd second dead snow, it's a great film

 

[Brightonfan1983]

I enjoyed The Crazies remake. Though they're not zombies in the strictest sense.

I did some zombie extra work on 28 Weeks Later, I really must youtube the stuff I videoed...

A proper fan!

Yea zombieland is amazing, woody harrason or however you spell his name well and truly makes the film

I think with the walking Zombie and the running zombie, the natural progression with Hollywood, that was a must, back in the day when these films were starting to get made, people accepted it because it was a new thing

If I zombie film was released now and they just wandered around like they used to. People would be pissed ask for their money back

Not a fan of Reign of Fire the ones above them though are enjoyable...Slightly off the track even more is Children of Men...Really enjoyed that one.

Don't need 'em. I just go to the local supermarket for my fill of Zombies.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Dead Snow (2009) - IMDb

 

[dannyboy]

how about stakeland. its not zombies but end of the world , plague stuff. and the road is brilliant , again very bleak end of the world plague stuff with the addedbonus of cannibals ..... lovely

'They Live' by John Carpenter is a quirky one, but worth a look...
