Tapion Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Is there really any good modern day zombie movies? Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland are really only ones I can think of. Diary of the Dead and Survival of the dead weren't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tussell Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Shaun of the Dead, Undead, and Zombieland. It's a shame that the only good modern zombie flicks are all slightly comedic. I mean, not a shame, as they're all great movies, but there's nothing serious that's worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines essentially the same.... the french flick la Horde was alright too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinalSynopsis Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Zombieland for sure with big thumbs-up to the tv show The Walking Dead. I really enjoy the Walking Dead because it gives a little under 8-11 hours (at an hour an episode with 8-12 episodes a season) for major character development and side stories within the zombie plot. Mainly because realistically, any movie cannot last over 3 hours, especially a zombie one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Yamikage Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 My favorite zombie film so far.... 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. I love fast zombie. They're the one you gotta run from!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, I hate fast zombies... not in movies...but if that ever happened in real life I'd hate that. If Usain Bolt died we'd all be screwed. I saw a trailer for this one movie called the devil's jungle where it was Zombies doing parkour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ultrafiend Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Is there really any good modern day zombie movies? Diary of the Dead and Survival of the dead weren't too bad. That was literally one of the worst sequels to anything I have ever seen. Zombieland was superb. Never really got on with Shaun of the Dead that much to be honest but it was at least well made. Hmm, what else. Shall we say 'modern day' starts from around 28 Days Later? Yes? Okay. You've got Locked Away, Signos, 12-24, Dead Run 2, The Dead Walk, Battle of the Bone, Biophage, The Uprise, One Last Sunset, Zombie Abomination: Part 1, Opstandelsen, [Rec], Uniform SurviGirl (both parts), and Ispiritista (a tiny bit more 'haunted house' themed than zombie themed I guess). There was also Tales of the Dead which wasn't entirely about zombies but was generally great and had an awesome zombie segment in it. Carrying on with the more comedic/action theme, we've got Sars Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis, Working Stiffs, Tokyo Zombie, Fido, Doghouse, Romeo & Juliet vs. The Living Dead, The Revenant and Dale of the Dead. There's been some good indie zombie movies as well. The Mental Dead, Zombie Commando, Zombie Farm, 2, The Face, Street of the Dead, Yesterday, The Hell Patrol, Deader Country, Silent Night/Zombie Night, I Am Bish and The Life Room. I'm not really a fan of The Walking Dead but as far as TV shows go, Dead Set and American Heart were pretty good as well. Also, check out Zombie Girl: The Movie. It's about an awesome little 12 year old girl making her own zombie flick. Yes, I know my shit. I mean, I could name you a fuckload more but those are the ones I actually enjoyed. Most new zombie films are indie efforts that don't have an effects budget and so rely on the acting (consistently bad idea). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootcrum Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Just watched Shaun of the Dead last night. Still one of my all-time favourite movies, Nick Frost's first line cracks me up every time; "Can I get... any of you cunts... a drink?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SALT1R3 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Not really into zombie flicks but I was flicking through last night and came across Zombie Women of Satan - delightfully dreadful - good fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvlution Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Anybody seen the low budget Zombie Town? I saw it on Chiller TV. Pretty terrible considering the zombies are actually controlled by slug like things [spoiler=1978473]that are killed by a massive salt explosion. I managed to watch it all which was surprising.

Majica8 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Shaun of the Dead is good, but only because it's supposed to be a comedy. Most modern zombie films suck because they are more funny than scary even though they are supposed to be horrors. Dawn of the Dead remake is watchable but it's nothing special. Seen a bucketload of other modern zombie flicks but none of them compare to the classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
