Zombie Movies

[DesiDucati]

I have been binge watching zombie movies on Youtube and Netflix. Any recommendations?

Here’s a good Bollywood zombie movie that has both Comedy and Suspense:

Are there highly choreographed zombie dance scenes?

+1 on train to busan

I'd watch Shaun of the Dead again

1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland.

I generally hate zombie movies though.

If there really was such a thing as a zombie it would look and act like Donald Sutherland.

The Dead Don't Die was an entertainer

Dead Alive, Peter Jackson’s Magnum Opus.

 

[Agent Orange]

Kingdom on Netflix.

Dead Alive, Peter Jackson’s Magnum Opus.

Yeah, Dead Alive is a must see, I would say if you want to go down a list, review the Classics. Start with Romero's work, since he invented the Genre.

Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead. The originals, not the later remakes. "Dawn" is what I feel is the single best picture ever shot in this genre.

Once you have seen the master define the genre, go and have fun. The Return of the Living Dead pictures are a blast. Return of the Living Dead III is my favorite. Keep in mind this picture series is campy and fun, not as serious as the Romero pictures.

Also very funny is the British hit Shaun of the Dead, and if you ever get a chance, the Australian picture Cemetery Man is an underground classic that really deserves a shot. I could go on, but that is a good starting point, Train to Busan is an excellent contemporary entry though.

28 Days Later.

Not sure if on Netflix or what but worth watching if you can find it.

28 Days Later.

Not sure if on Netflix or what but worth watching if you can find it.

The sequel, 28 weeks later, is also good.

Funny thing though, for whatever reason, I never considered 28 days a "zombie" movie.

Dunno why, just didn't click to me that way.

Thanks for the recommendations! Just finished Train to Busan and now want to see the sequel that just came out. When will it come to the states?

I’m confused by what is the criteria for zombie movie too. In some movies they move slow and are not very coordinated and smart. But in others they are lightning fast and show high levels of animal intelligence. I also just saw Brad Pitt’s WWZ and thought the ending made no sense. I read in the reviews that the book is way better.

Because it does not have actual Zombies. There are no reanimated corpses, so the fundamental challenge of facing human mortality as a threat is not as obvious.

I think the nature of the pandemic in those pictures does allow it to reside in that genre though.

I am Legend, World War Z, Zombieland and Zombieland 2. The last two are kind of campy but worth watching.

If the zombie apocalypse ever happens I really don't want them to be World War Z type......

Dawn of the Dead 1978 and 2004

Dawn of the Dead 1978 and 2004

Can anybody else confirm if Jim Carrey was the young army kid in the basement window in Dawn of the Dead opening scene?? I swear it is him, but he would have been 15 or 16 at the time.

The book was great! It was less about zombies, and more about the political/social angles of how the infection could spread and the investigation/trail the main character follows.

As for zombie movies, does any of the resident evil ones count as zombie movies?

I also like The Girl With the Gifts
