Quote:Hi,
If you enjoyed 28 Days Later, you really should watch its successor 28 Weeks Later - I liked it even better than the original.
I did see 28 Weeks Later but was pretty disappointed in it. I thought that 28 Days was far superior. The opening sequence of 28 Weeks is damn good however and really, really suspenseful.
Quote:And if you like the Zombie/Humor combination, try out "Shaun of the Dead" by Edgar Wright (director of "Hot Fuzz"). The zombies appear only in the second half of the movie, but it's really worth watching. During the first half, when you expect the zombies to appear every minute, the leading character meets all kinds of people who look and act like zombies, but who only are tired/dumb/whatever. This is done very well!
I've seen parts of Shaun of the Dead but couldn't really get into/saw it at bad times where I couldn't full pay attention to the movie. Everyone I talk to loved it though, so I'll definitely give it another chance.
Quote:That really depends on the kind of zombies that invade. tongue.gif Are they capable of running, like in "28 Days", or are they only moving slowly like in Romero's classics? Do they only claw and bite, or can they wield weapons? (There is a movie with knife-throwing zombies...uh oh, not fun!)
Any kind of zombie invasion:shuriken:
Quote:One neither of you have recommended is the old black and white Night Of The Living Dead - a very scary zombie movie and a must see for all zombie affiliates.
Yar, that is a good movie and I feel silly for not mentioning it. There are a couple unintentionally goofy moments, but the close ups of the zombies eating flesh in black and white are damn creepy.
Quote:I'm a fan of this http://zombiehunters.org/forum/ myself. Stumbled on them a few years back. Here's one aspect of them I like. http://zombiehunters.org/who.php
That is actually pretty damn hilarious. Gotta love the internet - giving the world ample opportunity to show that when provided a completely anonymous social context, deep down everyone is a weirdo.
Quote:How about C.H.U.D. which even won some awards? I believe technically, since CHUD are undead they qualify as zombies.
Hmm, don't think I've seen it. Would you recommend the film?

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
