Best Zombie Movie....Ever

[comicgirl]

start up your best zombie impersonation!...aaarrrrrrrrghhh!!

[NOFX]

Night of the Living Dead, but I also liked 28 days later :)

[phantomstranger]

"Night Of The Living Dead" (original) crude,creepy and brilliant. One of the greatest horror films of all time

[Edd Extraordinaire]

28 Days

[Symbiotica]

People are rating 28 Days higher that the original DotD?! Never thought I'd live to see the day. Pardon the pun. 28 isn't half the film Dawn is, if only because of it's completely butchered ending - pardon another pun.

28 was okay, but a genre classic it isn't. It dosn't even come close to touching the original "Night" either.

[Symbiotica]

...also missing: DotD remake and Land of the Dead - a worthy entry on Romero's resume'.

[C.F. Kane]

I guess it isn't really fair that I voted in this poll. I've only seen "Shaun".


I love the British ;) :up:

[logan_weapon_x]

Oh and 28 Days isn't a zombie movie, but the original ending did kick so much more ass.

[ssj4 vegetto]

New Dawn of the dead is the most realistic

[NOFX]

You mean when the chicken replaced Cillian Murphy:rolleyes:

[logan_weapon_x]

What are you talking about?

[NOFX]

What are you talking about?
Oh Im sorry what was this original ending??

[logan_weapon_x]

Oh Im sorry what was this original ending??

It went something like, Jim (Cillian's character) actually became infected and was left tied up where you see the monkeys at the start, and the ending scene was the girl and the woman escaping, as Jim is tied to the bed looking at all the violent images on the screens.

I must have have saw a different ending than..........Because the one I saw Cillian died after he got into that car accident.....and he was replaced by a Chicken.:o

Nah you're thinking of the alternate ending for Batman Begins where Katie Holmes thinks he's a chicken and tries to roast him.

[Movies205]

I'm partial to Return of the Living Dead myself :)

[Rizpower]

New Dawn of the dead is the most realistic
Not at all.

[ssj4 vegetto]

the way people react... yes it is

[ssj4 vegetto]

I always thought that whole zombies are slow moving was Bull*****

[logan_weapon_x]

I always thought that whole zombies are slow moving was Bull*****

But why? They're dead so rigamortis has set in.

[ssj4 vegetto]

true but they rise almost instantly so there should be no decay.

[ssj4 vegetto]

and we dont know just how dead they are. (vital organs and whatnot)

[NOFX]

I cant believe you guys are debating how dead or undead a zombie is???:rolleyes:

[Movies205]

New Dawn of the dead is the most realistic

HAHAHA your talkinga bout realistic with a movie about ZOMBIES, hahahaha you guys crack me :D

[Mike]

Night of the Creeps was kind of dumb. But it had the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen in it. I think her name is Jill Whitlow!

[ssj4 vegetto]

HAHAHA your talkinga bout realistic with a movie about ZOMBIES, hahahaha you guys crack me :D
I meant about how paople would truley react in those situations

[xwolverine2]

SHAUN OF THE DEAD --- i dont care wich one had deaderer zombies....these were truly the funniest.

[Silver Sable]

28 Days Later
RE1 and 2

[xwolverine2]

RE1 and 2

RUN! QUICK!, before the RE haters attack!

we must seek shelter!

[ssj4 vegetto]

OMG!!!!!! RE!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
for christ's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xwolverine2]

:up: LMAO :D

[Obsidian]

RE1 and 2

:eek:

:down

oh...and my fave is "Shaun of the Dead"

[Leto Atrides]

I seem to be in the minority, but I liked Day of the Dead the best. I prefer the claustrophia that both it and Night have, but I thought Day's characters are more interesting.

[ssj4 vegetto]

yeah day was good.

[xwolverine2]

I seem to be in the minority, but I liked Day of the Dead the best. I prefer the claustrophia that both it and Night have, but I thought Day's characters are more interesting.


i liked BUB .he was cool :up:

[Symbiotica]

Day was good.... liked Bub a lot. He was the most likeable member of the cast, which actually says quite a bit :)

RE2 is in my personal top 20 worst films ever, but that's just me. Neither RE1 or 2 deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with any Romero film though. It's like saying unbuttered popcorn is better than Thanksgiving Day dinner or something.

[xwolverine2]

got that right. RE2 was the biggest dissapiont to date(4 me)

[xwolverine2]

got that right. RE2 was the biggest dissapiont to date(4 me)

as a horror movie hell no......but as a zombie movie i guess so.

[saiyan jedi]

horror? boogyman is your average horror film and it is miles better than RE2(god the acting sucks)

[xwolverine2]

the cave and alone in the dark..................and the #1 would go to ANACONDA:the hunt for the blood orchid.

that movie sucked!

[Guason]

mall of the dead!!!!!!!!

[Motown Marvel]

1. 28 days later didnt have any zombies in it...just infected people.

2. wheres lucio fulci's Zombi?

[xwolverine2]

We shouldnt give "them" the idea of mall of the dead....... it might come true.

[saiyan jedi]

the people in 28days might as well be zombies though

[xwolverine2]

the people in 28days might as well be zombies though

yah......i never really thought of them as "infected people" and neither did critics.

[X-Ray]

original Dawn of the Dead or the original Night of the Living Dead for me ...

the only good thing about RE2 was Jill Valentin ... hhhmmmm ... hottness :D:up:

[cryptic name]

New Dawn of the dead is the most realistic

ah yes, i remember when i first saw it, the first thought in my head was "my god, this is exactly what happened last time the dead rose to feast on the living!"...wait...

[Arcturus]

I voted for 28 Days Later, one of my favorite films, but to you see a rundown of my favorite movies of the genre...obviousily i'm a big fan of zombie films and so fourth.

Night of the Living Dead (Original)

Dawn of the Dead (Original)

Day of the Dead

Land of the Dead

Night of the Living Dead (Re-Make)

Dawn of the Dead (Re-Make)

28 Days Later (Okay technically not zombie since the infected are living. I mean, in many zombie movies, to kill a zombie you destroy the head. In 28DL they could die just like normal humans.)

Resident Evil

Shaun of the Dead

Return of the Living Dead

Return of the Living Dead 2

Return of the Living Dead 3

Dead Alive

[nite-owl]

Night of the creeps is my favourite zombie of all time but my other favourites are

Night of the living dead
Dawn of the dead (I like both version but I prefer the remake)
Day of the dead
Shaun of the dead
Return of the living dead trilogy
Braindead

[boon23]

Once again: 28 Days Later is NOT a zombie movie.
It is a disease movie about a spreading infection. The mindless killers are still living and they are starving to death in the end. Of course there are similarities to a zombie movie (e.G.spreading the disease through blood and bites), but a zombie is an undead creature (if we consider the american movies night, day ,dawn, etc).
My personal favorites:
Dawn (remake)
Dawn (original)
Night (remake)
Shaun
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 1
Day
Braindead
Return 3

[DarkKnightJRK]

Shaun, it's the only zombie movie I can watch. The rest scare the s**t out of me. :(

Also, the Thriller video. :up:

[saiyan jedi]

28days is a zobie movie!

[David Ford, RPD]

They're all great, but I get a lot of joy of out Night of the Living Dead. If fact, I think that all four "Dead" films are some of the best things American cinema has going for it.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

We wouldn't be anywhere without original Dawn of the Dead.
Of course it has flaws, but so does your beloved Wife/Husband/Mom/Dad.
I could recite you every word, sound effect and note of music from Dawn of the Dead.
I LURV it!

[Flexo]

28days is a zobie movie!

I was about to say, "No, it's not" but then I realized you had said "zobie." Since I have no clue what a zobie is, I can't really debate your statment. :o

[Armand Z Trip]

Shaun. Who made you king of the zombies?

[JokerPsycho88]

Day

[Geisteskrank]

Fine Zombie. does that please you, your Royal highness????

[Flexo]

Fine Zombie. does that please you, your Royal highness????

No, because 28 Days Later is not a zombie movie.

[saiyan jedi]

really then what is it?and dont say horror survival...and 3-year old could tell as much

[saiyan jedi]

owned!

[DarkKnightJRK]

owned!

...No. Just...no.

[Master Chief]

It's about a virus. They aren't really zombies, they're just infected with a virus that makes them spaz out and eat people. Oh, right, RE had that T-Virus hoodel maloodle stuff... which made dead people come to life and eat alive people... well... uh... they run, they're not zombies.

HA!

Actually, they're not reanimated corpses. So that would mean they're not zombies.

I win.

[Flexo]

owned!

First off, just because you can't think of a category to file 28 Days Later under, it doesn't mean it's a zombie flick.

Second off, it's not a zombie movie. It is like a zombie movie. The people didn't come back from the dead and they can be killed in other ways than their brain being destroyed.

Third off, posting "owned" after your own comment makes you seem retarded. (Just figured you might want to know about that.)

[Symbiotica]

"....you know, there's a lotta stuff down there we could use, man."

".... I know it!"

"Wanna check it out?"

"[flicks Zippo] I need lighter fluid...."

"Let's go!"

:D I know waaaaaay too much about this stuff.... lol

I'm still suprised Land of the Dead isn't getting more love, that was a great zombie flick IMO.

[Zev]

Really? I found that the terrorism subtext muddied the water of the class struggle subtext. But that might have just been me.

Oh, and Shaun rules. Don't forget to kill Phillip.

And don't get me started on DotD lines,lol

I typed owned just to bump this thread

[Chomp]

The original NOTLD of course. Its just an awe-inspiring film for future film-makers all around the globe. It was a film that was made with the most simplisitic and cheapest (they had to) techniques, and it has grown to be one of the best and well-known pictures in horror cinema...and I am not even mentioning the zombies or the social commentary.

Followed closely by Day of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Return of the Living Dead.

28 Days Later, RE, and The Dawn remake are complete hogwash compared to the 3 films I mentioned above.

[xwolverine2]

It's about a virus. They aren't really zombies, they're just infected with a virus that makes them spaz out and eat people. Oh, right, RE had that T-Virus hoodel maloodle stuff... which made dead people come to life and eat alive people... well... uh... they run, they're not zombies.

you guys are actually trying to make sense out of zombie movies. wow :up:

[saiyan jedi]

u siad the same thing 2days ago

[Symbiotica]

Really? I found that the terrorism subtext muddied the water of the class struggle subtext. But that might have just been me.

I just turned every bit of that off and tried to enjoy the film as it was: an interesting take on what might really happen in a landscape overrun by zombies. I like to see the logistics of the problem addressed, even if I do find a hole or two in the "solutions."

Film wasn't perfect, but better than most zombie offerings, definitely. In my opinion anyways.

[Henry Hill]

NOTLD is my favorite, maybe because it had the biggest affect on me. I was disappointed by Dawn of the Dead when I first saw it since I expected a gritty feeling like in NOTLD but it grew on me. Tom Savani did a great job in that film with the special effects.

[The Dark Defender]

28 Days Later.

Great characters, great acting, great music, great cinematography, very intense...

I'm not a big zombie buff, and I love that movie with a passion. :up:

[Rac]

Braindead.

[The Chairman]

Where the **** is Army Of Darkness?! :cmad:

[Rac]

It doesn't really have zombies besides the (reborn) Evil Ash (zombie).

[The Chairman]

It doesn't really have zombies besides the (reborn) Evil Ash (zombie).

Deadites = Undead

Undead = Zombies

Come to think of it, where are any of the Evil Dead movies?

[~†~§iX~†~]

I can't help but notice that there isn't much love for voodoo based zombies around. What about classics like I Walked With a Zombie or The Serpent and the Rainbow and the like?!......

[~†~§iX~†~]

Deadites = Undead

Undead = Zombies

Come to think of it, where are any of the Evil Dead movies?
Hang on, in that case vampires = undead so where is the line going to be drawn?!......

[The Chairman]

Hang on, in that case vampires = undead so where is the line going to be drawn?!......

Well, yeah. But still, the main villians in the series are always classified as Zombies. The first film especially.

[bluejake01]

I couldn't pick between the original Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead. The best time I ever had at a theater was seeing an early screening of Shaun of the Dead with a bunch of Trash Film Orgy boys and ghouls...the energy was insane.

[bluejake01]

Once again: 28 Days Later is NOT a zombie movie.
It is a disease movie about a spreading infection. The mindless killers are still living and they are starving to death in the end. Of course there are similarities to a zombie movie (e.G.spreading the disease through blood and bites), but a zombie is an undead creature (if we consider the american movies night, day ,dawn, etc).
My personal favorites:
Dawn (remake)
Dawn (original)
Night (remake)
Shaun
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 1
Day
Braindead
Return 3

I have argued this before, and considering that there are several meanings of the word zombie, and only 1 of them means undead, then 28 Days later can be considered a zombie movie. The infected in the film are mindless creatures serving their base instincts.

[Spike_x1]

Deadites = Undead

Undead = Zombies

Come to think of it, where are any of the Evil Dead movies?I was just thinking that.

The poll left out many quality movies in the quest to find the "Best Ever."

[bluejake01]

Like where the hell is Zombi?

[~†~§iX~†~]

Well, yeah. But still, the main villians in the series are always classified as Zombies. The first film especially.
I have never heard of the Evil Dead referred to as zombie movies. If anything, I would say they are based more around demonic possession. No one seemed to die, they were just taken over. The closest would be Linda in number 2 who is dismembered and buried, but comes back from the grave. I still would not class her as a zombie, because of the spiritual aspects of her body rejoining together.

Not everything that rises from the dead and appears to be alive is a zombie!......

[Max J Power]

Shaun of the Dead

But if Evil Dead II counts, then I might pick that.

[ToddIsDead]

Dawn of the Dead. Absolutely no contest. And where the hell are Zombi 2, Land of the Dead, Dead Alive, Return of the Living Dead, and the Evil Dead trilogy, to name a few. This poll is lacking.

[Cyrusbales]

OK, 28 days later isn't scrictly a zombie film, and no braindead or evil dead?

[KingOfDreams]

What I'd really like to see is a movie that explores the zombi and it's voodoo origins. Basically, the zombi without an "e." Maybe there's already a movie like this and I don't know about it, though. Who knows.

[Cyrusbales]

BRAINDEAD already!

[Cobb]

My favorite is the original Dawn. Also BOO to you guys for not mentioning The Re-Animator!

[Flexo]

OK, 28 days later isn't scrictly a zombie film, and no braindead or evil dead?

Evil Dead, as much as I love it, is not a zombie film. It's not even 28-Days-Later-close.

[Cyrusbales]

Evil Dead, as much as I love it, is not a zombie film. It's not even 28-Days-Later-close.

evil dead 2 is a zombie film, and is superior to evil dead one also! 28 days later is no way a zombie film, it just takes all the best bits from the living dead trilogy, and then ruins them.

[Clerk]

Watched the original Dawn for the first time in a few years.... goddamn it pwns all things zombie. THE scene (you know what scene Im talking about) is perhaps the most intense thing I've witnessed on screen and it still gets my heart pumping with fear.

[Cyrusbales]

I love the night of the dead, it's got a classic ending, genius! Yes the effects are very dated, but as for character and story goes, it's up there with braindead!

You must be joking.

The deadites are not zombies. They are people possessed by evil spirits. The Evil Dead films are not zombie movies.

And 28 Days Later is a very good film. I'll take it over the rest of the horror garbage that's coming out these days.

Zombie means re-animated corpse, which happens in evil dead 2! hence zombie movie. And 28 days later is grossly overrated(fair enuff, recent horror films do suck more than it), we have seen almost all the scenes in the living dead trilogy

[Leto Atrides]

It's pretty much part of the definition that they are mindless, or at the very most capable of just basic, completely instinct driven reasoning. Just being undead does not mean something would be a zombie.

[Cyrusbales]

then that rules out land of the dead and day of the dead(to some extent) as zombie movies

[Flexo]

The person doesn't have to be dead to be taken over by the spirit in the woods. In zombie movies, the victim dies and then is re-animated. In Evil Dead, victims are only possessed. They can shake the possession, or the spirit can use the human's form. Zombie victims can't revert back to humans.

Besides that, deadites can levitate and are destroyed by dismemberment. (Zombies will continue to live until the brain is destroyed.)

in evil dead 2, the woman is brought back from the dead, and the 'zombie gene' is passed via the bite! And if you dismember a zombie enuff, it is rendered dead.

[Flexo]

No, the person dies from the bite. They are then re-animated. Also, it is shown in Day and Land that the zombie lives until the brain is destroyed.

In Evil Dead, Ed doesn't die when the axe cleaves his head in two.

the notion of zombie is not an exact sciene tho, different films change the rules slightly, Raimi classes Evil dead as a zombie film, as do many fans, so why not class it as one? But once again, WHY IS BRAINDEAD NOT HERE?

[The Amazing Lee]

Shaun of the dead and 28 days later.

I've never been able to properly get into Dawn of the dead

I want to. But I can't. :(

[Leto Atrides]

There's still a big difference between Bub and Deadites is all I'm saying.

That's a bit of a cop out.

The deadites really don't have much in common with zombies. And if you are to include deadites as zombies, then you might as well call The Exorcist a zombie movie.

[~†~§iX~†~]

The deadites really don't have much in common with zombies. And if you are to include deadites as zombies, then you might as well call The Exorcist a zombie movie.
I am in total agreement!......

[Dr.Dude]

Agreed --- I love the Evil Dead trilogy as much as anyone, but they ain't zombie movies.

Aaaand as far as that is concerned... I always had a fondness for Return of the Living Dead. The Tarman is just the most kickass zombie ever shown on film. ;)

[body_crumbles]

Technically, they're not really zombies in "28 Days Later," but I guess the whole generalization of Infected and killing people goes in that genre. XD

[zanos]

How the hell is a crappy film like Shaun of the Dead winning this poll?

[Poetic Chaos]

Dawn of the Dead remake.

[WTFimVENOM]

^ loved the remake, I've seen it with my friends like 15 times
But I still vote Night of the living Dead Original as the best, got it for free off of Google Video, Its now on my Ipod lol :)

[Prognosticator]

The remake of Night of the Living Dead with Tony Todd is about is good an effort as I've seen.

[WTFimVENOM]

Did you hear about "NOTLD 3d" coming out this year,
It seems they've gone and ****ed it up... big time!
Ben is WHITE!!!!

[bluejake01]

How the hell is a crappy film like Shaun of the Dead winning this poll?

Because Shaun of the Dead was funny, witty, and still treated the genre with respect. George Romero loved it for a reason...that reason is because it kicks serious ass.

[Leto Atrides]

Did you hear about "NOTLD 3d" coming out this year,
It seems they've gone and ****ed it up... big time!
Ben is WHITE!!!!

I don't see that as being that much of a big deal. NotLD was notable for not making a big deal out of having a black actor. They just picked him because they liked him for the part. It's a race-neutral role for the most part. You can find some racial undertones if you want, but they're not integral to the film.

Ok... if that didn't get you then how about this:
The story is almost completely different, with the only similarity being the characters names and the house, and the famous "The're coming to get you Barbera" line is delivered by way of TEXT MESSAGE
And its in 3d
LAME!
