I actually never watched Xena in any depth.

But you have heard of a little trilogy called "Evil Dead" right? Not to mention Bridget Fonda's walking cadaver performance in "A Simple Plan."

Haha, yeah... I'm just teasing.

Evil Dead 2 is my god. It may even be on that short list of sequels that are better than originals...

I was sooooo disappointed when they changed the name of the third installment from "Medieval Dead" because they feared morons wouldn't get it.

Also, I would say "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead" are both improvements on the original. And maybe - MAYBE! - "Day" is an improvement over "Dawn" but that's a tough call.

you thought dawn of the dead remake was better than the original!?
YOu've got to be kidding me. The beginning was great but after that the story was lame. "Hey if we work as a team, we can do it!" zzzzz wow so profound! haha
I've got a few old Italian zombie movies on dvd and they are so **** good it's not even funny.

**** I forgot the name of the one where they're in the movie theatre, it's a classic. ANd the zombie crawls out of the tv screen when the guy is watching it at home, i remember that video when i was a kid and it scared the **** out of me every time.

I thought 28 days later was awesome but technically it wasn't a zombie movie :p

Spark - nonono! I haven't even bothered with the remakes.

What I meant is, I thought the original Dawn of the Dead(1978) was better than the original Night of the Living Dead(1968). And possibly Day of the Dead (1985) is another step up from both.

I've never seen any of the Fulci stuff, although I've heard it's great. That's a major gap in my Zombie-cation, I know.

None of them, of course, can be compared to Wild Zero (http://www.synapse-films.com/shopping_cart/wild_zero.htm), the greatest zombie/alien/ninja/rock and roll film in history.

Kewl. Last time I heard he was going to make it, it was going to be called "Dead Reckoning."

I hope he's able to finish it this time.

Whoops! They mention that in the interview.

I don't get everyone's obsession with Evil Dead 2. Sure it rocked, was awesome, had a bunch of kick ass one liners, etc. And was better than the first, but it wasn't this orgasmic greatness in my opinion. Awesome move though.

A whole thread on zombie movies and not one mention of "Versus"?

Dissapointing!

Shaolinlueb

versus was oaky, the graphic violence in it saved it, what was that other japanese movie about the hot naked zombie chick running around. with the people who rob the bank in the begining, that was okay too.

Take out japanese, and switch zombie to vampire, and you've got Dusk to Dawn.

i'm not saying versus sucked cause it didnt. it was a great movie, but the rewatch value of it i thought was low. it was okay, but confusing and nothing i havent seen before. the effects were cool, but there was really only 1 real zombie fight scene. :(

Oh thank god! Ok then, yes i agree that Dawn of the Dead is the best of the trilogy. However, did you know that Night of the LIving Dead was the first movie where a black person hit a white person - let alone a white woman!!! I went to school with a film major who wrote his thesis on it and as I'm sure you know, those movies are much more than just a simple horror flick.
For what it's worth, the remake of Dawn of the Dead has a great first ... 15 mins about. After that it's pretty lame.

Oh! I think the movie i'm thinking of is DEMON ... I think. So good. And i'll double check the one i have at home, all I remember is that it takes place in New Orleans but it's in Italian.

How do you feel about zombies running full speed? I have mixed views on that because when they're slow I think there's more suspense.

Greetings,

What about "The Omega Man"? Wait a minute: Charleton Heston wasn't fighting zombies, but disease infected humans.

Still, it is close. I loved it.

Sue me, I like the Dawn of the Dead remake.

Doesn't mean I don't still like the original a lot too.

The remake wasn't a remake, it was a different take on the event that started off the zombies in the beginning.

In the timeline of things the original would've taken place during/after the remake.

They're 2 distinctly different movies.

When the zombies move slow you have more time to focus on the intricacies of the personalities of the protagonists.
When the zombies move fast you have the adrenaline rush of a high speed chase.

First 15 min of the DotD remake were some of the best in zombie-dom, and I've seen those italian movies you're talking about (zombie, zombi 2, zombi 3, cemetary man, etc).

I liked the end of the movie as well.
Had that great A-Team, lost boys, phantasm 2 kind of build up & climax.

The middle was entertaining with the jokes.
The middle also gave you that time to get to know the characters, to almost an irritating level; similar to the original series.

Can't wait to see Land of the Dead.
Bout to look into some of the other films mentioned on this thread.

Hope Resident Evil's more entertaining than the first.
House of Dead was kind of a let down, it could've been so much better.
Even with the actors & elements that existed in that movie, the execution could've been much, MUCH better.

zombie movies are my fav'.

Shaolinlueb
07-26-2004, 10:21 AM
land of the dead looks interesting.

Romero said the zombie wont be able to run. but they will get smarter like the one using the gun in day of the dead. that will be interesting.

Spark
07-26-2004, 12:12 PM
Hey,
That's cool if you like the remake, I just didn't think it was all that, especially in comparison to the originals. I just felt the originals were darker, scarier and were much more profound in terms of commentaries. But DOD remake was definitely entertaining, I'm not denying that.

Yeah, I was kinda let down with Resident Evil ... kinda sucks when the video game is better than the movie! Cuz that game has an awesome storyline.

Land of the Dead I was just reading about and I can't wait for that and i'm glad the zombies can't run hahaha
