Best zombie movies?

[Some-Astro 10]

Shaun of the Dead

[Tek-no-logic 10]

I can't remember the name of it but, a new one coming out that looks pretty good. The zombies are living "normal" working life's. I'm not sure about the humans, maybe wiped out but have little pockets of resistance around the world. Or if they are living well and using the zombies as minimum wage slaves.

 

 

Anyhow looks good as role reversal general zombie flick

[metalman 21]

Braindead

 

Peter Jackson's even earlier Bad Taste is also a good zombie effort.

*SPOILER ALERT*

 

I really liked Pontypool, but I didn't know it was a zomie(ish) film when I set out to watch it. I knew it was supposed to be a quirky but interesting indie flick so I approached it with a blank slate of expectations.

Also the memetics angle stood out to me as a stroke of genius, along with the implications that French Canadian terrorists were using it as a weapon against English-speaking Canadians.

It reminded me a lot of the Stephen King novel 'Cell'

 

EDIT: I really enjoyed 'The Battery' too, which is another indie flick. You may or may not get bored of that, there's not a great deal of zombies in it (gets a DVD release this year)

just bought humans versus zombies from the pound shop in middlesborough lol

 

and just watched the dead 2 - india, didnt know it existed till 3 days ago, it came out in 2013....like the dead it is ace

 

trailer

 

like the first one it has beautiful photography, locations etc and brilliant film making, camerawork etc.

also the impending dread the main characters face with the slow shuffeling zombies slowly edging closer as they do something is immense

 

i do think the second ones gorier than the first two, not surprising since indias a far more populated country mass than africa is

I'm not a huge fan of Zombie films (with the exception of Shaun of the Dead, and Rec); but one great Zombie film which hasn't been mentioned on here (afaik) is Deathdream / Dead of Night, it's from 1972 and it's excellent.

Speaking of which, there is a little known horror anthology film from 1977 also called Dead of Night, and there's a 30 minute segment called Bobby which tells the story of a mother's attempt to bring her son back from the dead. It still chills me to this day:

Not sure they're classed as zombie films; Lamberto Bava's Demons and Demons 2. Really scared me as a kid, two of those movies where you think to yourself "if this was real, what would I do?... There'd be nothing I could do..."
