It's time to pick your favorite of his latest 3 dead films.

AKORIS · 10-26-2010, 02:03 AM

Land Of The Dead easily is the best imo

Dreemworx · 10-26-2010, 08:08 PM

Land of the Dead no contest.

Day of the Dead to me, is even better.

Deadset · 10-26-2010, 08:49 PM

Land of the Dead.

Diary is barely passable...and Survival is abysmal.

CZAR · 10-26-2010, 09:34 PM

This is easy to me as I only like one of these films and its Diary of the Dead. The other 2 are abysmal with Survival being atrocious. Got Em!!

I wish you had posted this last week.

Although I will say I watched the new Day of the Dead with Mena Suvari, and it made Survival ok by comparison.... Her doing the "Trash" dance from The Return of the Living Dead is the only thing that could make it watchable.

She's come a long way from American Beauty!

Yeah the new Day of the Dead remake is pretty

Was it a Scifi channel movie?

Not sure, but I know it was straight to DVD. The thing is, it didn't have to be as bad as it was. I could have lived with the fast moving zombies. I could even accept the zombie with a crush/vegetarian zombie. But Spider-Man Zombies? What part of dying and turning into zombies gives you the ability to climb walls and ceilings. Just ruined the whole movie for me. I kept waiting for one of them to pull this move

And start swinging around.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I lost it around the vegetarian one...though I have BLOCKED this movie from my memory, once I saw it...I hit the delete key.

No, it was more like a tipping scale. I went in wanting to like it. I mean Mena Suvari looked hot in camo fatigues. But they(director/writer/producer's) just went too far for me. Any one of those complaints, maybe even two, could have been overlooked but when you add them all up(with a few other) it was just too much.

Which really sucks, because I love a zombie movie.

Agree with the latter part, Diary was better than I thought it would be, it's watchable.

Gizz · 02-19-2013, 09:29 AM

Liked Land of the Dead the best. Hated Diary of the Dead but I find Survival of the Dead highly watchable and enjoyable.

beadelf · 02-19-2013, 01:26 PM

not much of a choice really. Land is the only winner..best of a bad bunch.

survival is just horrific, its a total crap fest, its one of the worst films ever. so dissapointed about romeros complete nose dive since dawn of the dead, dont get me wrong i actually like day of the dead, but that was the start of this dive.

Cactus · 02-19-2013, 02:02 PM

Surprised at the "love" for Land, personally I thought it was terrible. Diary was fun and Survival was stupid.

KingRad · 02-20-2013, 04:40 AM

I voted for Land of the Dead. It was a fun watch, in my opinion. I've never seen Diary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

land was slightly more in line with the others, only a bit though, while diary and survival were just beyond stupid , Survival being the worst.
