BTW - if you haven't seen it, Dawn of the Dead, is my all timefav Romero film.



Not being a purist I quite like the remake. Fast Zombies, now thats scary ;)

Right on Malamute!  That is my all time favorite zombie movie... and the one that has the most fright value for me! :o

Return of the Living Dead zeds are what roam my table tops.  Runners and they can't be killed will pretty much make you think out of the box.

Always been with Simon Pegg on the old, 'slow zeds' idea but there is something about the Dawn remake that gets you because of the speed issue.

Looking forward to World War Z and Army of the Dead when done.

Watching 'My Name Is Bruce' last night I saw a movie poster for 'death of the dead'... but it's not a real film. Ah well, there was that one brief shining moment of hope...

I watched "Attack Girls' Swin Team Versus the Undead" last weekend and I can tell you it has everything:

- evil/maniac scientist
- zombies
- nudity
- blood and lot's of it
- schoolgirls
- love and betrayel
- and to top it of a story that combines everything flawlessly together...

Actually i thought the movie is too put it mildly not that interesting to follow (and athough I don't mind funtional nudity it sometimes almost felt as I was watching a porn flick). it could have been a good movie, but something in there just did not connect..

Then again, I don't know it it already was mentioned in this topic, "The Dead next door" is pure brilliance!!!  (I think Pil will agree on
that). Just do remember that it is a low budget moveie made by fans and be prepared to laugh.

Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

Anybody see the Resident Evil CG movie that came out last year? I think the English title ended up being RE: Degeneration. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1174954/ THe first couple of reels are cool zed-busting action, but in the last third or so the wheel kind of come off and the plot goes off a cliff of impenetrable Japanese monster craziness. Worth a look for the first bit, IMO. The CG is really well done.

Also, I personally much prefer the remakes of both Night and Dawn (Savini and Snyder versions respectively). I have great respect for Romero's creation of the modern zombie genre, but I don't care for the endings of a lot of his movies.

I saw it and got really bored. The movie indeed started out nice, but as soon as they tried to put dialogues in there it went bad :P

Then again I do like the "normal" resident Evil movies, which a lot of people seem to dislike due to not being like the game....   For me though it nicely combines apocalyptic with zombies :D
