Being a Pittsburgh resident I can go visit most of the filming locations for george romero films. I actually live about 10 mins from the MALL and have gone there all my life. He even used to sponsor a haunted house at halloween acouple years ago. Every year they have the zombie walk at the mall as well, pretty sure it holds the world record for most zombies in one place at one time.

Thats epic.

I love how this dead thread has been brought back to life. :hbang:

Redneck Zombies

That was filmed in my town. One of the road signs you see is like 2 miles from my house. Kinda cool, wasn't born when it was filmed though.

Apparently 28 Months is in the making.

About time, what happened to the kids?!?

Only ones I can add is
Boy Eats Girl (decent)
Night of the Living Dorks (will be dubbed over for English-speaking people, can't remember original language)
Zombieland
Dead Snow (Norwegian supposed to be pretty cool)
The Crazies ( not zombies but slightly reminiscent of them, worth a watch, made by Romero)
Undead (Australian film, definitely B-movie but worth a watch)
The Serpent and the Rainbow (Voodoo zombi's Haven't watched it yet)

I love Zombies. My brother has literally seen 95% of all zombie movies ever made, even all the horrible ones that only had a like a few grand for a budget.

I thoroughly enjoyed Zombieland.

Prior to that, the only ones I've ever liked were 28 Days Later and the relatively recent Dawn of the Dead (I think that was the title.. It was in a mall, and had Ving Rhames in it..)

Short list for me.

I enjoyed land of the dead? i think it was called that anyway, had some good gore/ funny moments. Also appears to have a deeper moral underneath it...

I can't think of much that has not already been said.

I am a huge zombie movie fan. I highly recommend reading the Zombie survival guide unless you want to become food.

World War Z also written by Max Brooks is a good read as well.

I actually put off watching Zombieland for ages until it finally hit OnDemand and decided to see if it was worth the hype. I prefer my zombie movies to be more of the horror survival style but it was actually pretty fun and didn't take itself too seriously.

It was like Left 4 Dead with different characters in a movie

Woody Harrelson's dog montage was hilarious too :lol:

There is so serious fun to be had if you play Call of Duty World at War and play the nazi zombies mini game. You can even download 3 other maps to play it on. It goes pretty in depth story wise as well.

Yes! Love those books. They're making World War Z into a movie.

Went to work dead tired too many times because of that.

That was the only part of that game I enjoyed, but alas it was not enough to keep me from trading the game in for something else.

Dude get hold of Braindead (someone already suggested it, but it's called Dead Alive in the states, Braindead here in the UK).

It's a kiwi zombie film made my Peter Jackson before he got big, and it's just mental. Sick, gory as all fucking fuck, and outrageously funny.

Such a budget movie, a million miles from Lord of the Rings. Funny just for how deliberately bad it is.

might be straying off topic slightly but there's a chance you will enjoy The Road or I Am Legend if you liked 28 Days Later

I've seen I Am Legend, and just speaking for myself I didn't like it at all. The book was halfway-decent, but the movie was just kinda lame to me. Just my opinion, though.

That is nothing. Watch his first(?) movie Bad Taste. From Internet Movie Database (IMBD.com):
Director Peter Jackson shot the film on weekends over a four-year period with friends playing the lead roles. Jackson funded most of the film himself until towards the end of the shoot when the New Zealand Film Commission gave him money to finish his project after being impressed with what he'd already produced. There was never a script for the movie; each scene was filmed from ideas the director had come up with during the week.

Good zombie moves ;

Dawn of the dead ( REMAKE )!
28 days / weeks later
[Rec]

Please let me know if theres anymore like these movies. I dont like old school or comedy. Just plain "realistic"

Prydogga · Mar 12, 2010

I love Shaun of and Dawn of the Dead, I rewatch them all the time, I probably will tonight as well, I loved Zombieland but it wasn't as good as Shaun Of The Dead IMO, although the intro credits with For Whom The Bell Tolls (Or whatever it's called.) is epic, it's one of the few Metallica songs I like.

Recently I saw a zombie cowboy movie, I forget what it was called but it was borderline cheesy and fairly low budget, but I loved it, even though the zombies still talked and could ride horses.

DavyH · Mar 12, 2010

Not entirely zombie, but I'm having some difficulty finading a copy of Nekromantik ..... anyone interested in getting shot of their copy?

Zombie Holocaust maybe?

It's somehow bad but good at the same time plus like a lot of the Italo zombie movies there's quite a few neat ideas they add to zombie mythology which are actually better than what's happened in the mainstream Romero films.

you seen diary of the dead?fucking masterpiece......

In the immortal words of Hank Hill......"what the hell!"
When I went to see it people in the audience were laughing out loud and for the first time ever I actually felt ashamed to admit I'm a Romero fan.

Anyway I can't really recommend much that hasn't already been mentioned but I'd suggest
Zombi 2 (aka Zombie Flesh Eaters) Zombie vs shark, nuff said!
Zombi 3 (aka Zombie Flesh Eaters 2) kung-fu zombie running about with a machete!
The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie) the main lead male sounds (and looks!) like Russell Brand which is annoying but there's a boob ripping zombie in it so that kind of balances things out, like Romero's movies it has a social undertone to it which is about police corruption but it does have a great ending and it's a film which is long overdue for a remake.
The Beyond + City of the Living Dead: both directed by Lucio Fulci whose a decent director but VERY intense on the gore and quite creative with his death scenes.

Really? I was actually really impressed with Diary of the Dead, still thnk it should be checked out. Not really that scary or overly gory, sometimes drags, but the concept was so good. Check out Dead set. Set in 5 episodes and was played on some uk channel for a while. For such a shitty budget made for a great film. Wiki that shit, I dare you?

+1 on a fido comment i saw back somewhere.

Thought I'd give this a cheeky :bump:

as I just watched 'survival of the dead' . It was balls. I mean really terrible. The feuding Irish families plot was almost as ridiculous as their accents. I genuinely expected the conversation to switch to leprechauns and pots of gold.

I really think George Romero should stop making movies or at least stop making really shit zombie movies. I suppose everything up to the original day of the dead can be considered 'genre defining classics' or some similar cliche but this film (and diary of the dead for that matter) left me feeling like I just lost an hour of my life that I will never be able to get back.

I'm yet to watch that should do soon. I'll probably like it tbh. :lol:

Romero is awesome but I think he's done as much as he can for that genre.
