Seriously, what a waste of film this was, it had a great location on top of it all!

The only problem I have with it, is it's labelled as a horror. Nice to see I'm not alone on this either

Cool, thx for the advice on the sequels. Which horrors am I dismissing? Night and Dawn?

Honestly, I still dont think we've seen the PERFECT Zombie movie. Someone smart and knows zombies should make one.

Some facts/suggestion for a great zombie movie, IMHO.

- Zombies should not run.

- No dumb acting or dumb scripts, it kills the movie, think both Night of the Living Dead movies here, where both times the white and black dudes cant get along in a house surrounded by undead. And girl actors thinking if they should attack one second, the next acting like wonder women.
Or just about the worst plan ever, bringing a truck in front of a house to escape and than not knowing how to get in lol.

- Return of the Living dead would have been the perfect zombie flick if it had just a bit less comedy moments and no running zombies.

- Return of the Living dead had the best zombies, that half woman is still pretty creepy to look at and listen to. Not to mention the Brains dude under the stairs.

- Day of the Dead had the best killing scenes, so did Dawn too.

Peter Jackson, Lucio Fulci, Michele Soavi and George A. Romero has already made perfect zombie-movies.

-Jackson with Braindead (Dead Alive)
-Soavi with Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetary Man)
-Fulci with Zombie Fleasheaters (Zombie 2)
-Romero with Night of the Living Dead

Thx I willl watch the first 3, I can just picture the music, despair and scenery, they are going to ruin my week arent they?

BTW, I loved that scene in 28 weeks later when he has to run away and leave his wife behind, that is one of the saddest, hardest impacting parts of a movie I've ever seen. That was so well done, with the music and everything.

Since we are talking zombies.......What do you guys think of Dawn of the Dead (2004). I still haven't watched it, but was thinking about renting it. My wife is on vacation, so I am on a horror film spree. She gets scared easily! Anyways, let me know what you think and 2 other horror films that I should rent. Has anyone seen Shadow of the Vampire?

Absolutely, without a doubt Black Christmas. Without Black Christmas, Halloween may have been a different monster. Black Christmas is a true classic.

I also LOVED Blair Witch Project. I saw it in the theater and have never been as scared as I was during the last 10 minutes of that movie.

No. It's on Easywolf. He didn't like Night of the Creeps and Dawn of the Dead (the original). I love those movies. I've been aching for a disc release of Creeps for ages!

The new Dawn was great. A completely different beast. Faster paced and clearly a nice sized budget. Lot of killer action scenes. Though I won't say it's better than the original. If it's zombies your after, sticking with the high energy, Planet Terror is awesome. Slither is also a fun pic. Haven't seen Shadow yet. But William Dafoe is supposed to really good in that film. I also want to throw a shout out to Black Sheep. No, I'm not talking about the Chris Farley movie. But an actual killer sheep movie! Think Shaun of the Dead. But with sheep. It's not as crappy as it sounds.

I loved the DAWN OF THE DEAD remake! The first 10 minutes alone are
worth the price of admission-- crank up the sound loud and be ready!

There can't be a perfect zombie movie. Film makers have different interpretations of zombies. They'll direct them in a way that fits the tone of their vision. So it's a matter of personal taste (no pun intended). I disagree on your views of Night of course. Both films are depicting a realistic depiction of how people would react in a certain situation. Zombies in this case. It's like people opinions on the war. They will disagree on what needs to be done next. These things leads to arguments. The characters of Night of the Living Dead is just a smaller scale of that. Try The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue a.k.a Let Sleeping Corpses Lie for a creepy zombie film without the constant bickering.

Ah, ok. Because I got the impression that you and I had similar taste in horror movies.

Night of the Creeps is coming to Blu-ray later this year. Been waiting for a good release of this for years, so this will be a real treat. Both the theatrical and the director's cut will be included.

cloverfield is pretty entertaining
It's a monster movie.

isn't it amazing how people seeing the same movie can have such different opinions? It's for this reason I don't put a lot of weight on critics or posts
regarding whether a film is good or not--

to me SESSION 9 and the '78 BODY SNATCHERS are the EXACT same kind of horror movie-- psychological, eerie, moody, scary, and excellent!

Watched Dawn of the Dead (Zack Snyder version) last night and LOVED it. It was creepy, and definitely played on the fear that what would you do if you went to sleep happy and fine, but then wake up to utter chaos. SCARY. It made me think about it as I was going to sleep last night. A must watch if you have not seen it. Now I am going to pick up a couple more movies for tonight. Horror, what else? I was thinking Land of the Dead and Planet Terror? What do you guys think. I need two to watch tonight.

I really liked "Wrong Turn", that is really well done and Rob Zombie's "House of 1,000 Corpse's" was cool too. Paid 10 dollars at Walmart last week for that one in Blu Ray. Was pretty cool. A prequal to "The Devil's Rejects". I liked it better than it. Hostel is over the top in a real creepy way. WOW

Both are excellent choices. But the zombies in both films are of the slow moviing variety. You did see the 28 Day/Weeks films right?

I have seen 28 days/weeks later. Both are great films. I actually worked at a small (4 screen) theater when 28 days was released, and I was the projectionist.......So I would received the films each week, and get them ready on Wednesday/Thursday nights, and I was the only person working, So I watch 28 days later by myself, in the empty theater, and I must say, I kept looking over my shoulder. It was so scary the first time.

That's cool. The best I can say is that I use to work for a independent movie rental place and got a hold of early screeners. If you like scary for zombie flicks try The Zombie Diaries. It's another P.O.V zombie film from Britain. The cover makes it look like a cheap, kinda badass horror/zombie movie. But it's slower and more atmosphreric. Better than Diary of the Dead at least.
