Their list:
# 15 - Pontypool (2009) A take on War of the Worlds with a verbal virus twist...
My take: I think the all time worst zombie movie I saw in recent years was one where it was part game show and wrestling and zombies... I don't remember the name as it was so bad I turned it off after 10 minutes.
Of note: One I'm sure I've seen being a Bela Lugosi and old movie fan:
# 4 - Dawn of the Dead (1978) - zombies in the mall.
My take: This was the first zombie movie I saw in color which made the gore more horrific. This and "The Pit and the Pendulum" are two movies I've never forgotten.
#7 - Zombieland (2009) - a favorite. Thought it was goofy and fun.
#1 - Night of the Living Dead (1968)
My take: This classic is considered to have started it all, and remains a favorite. There is something about the starkness of black-and-white that makes it more horrifying, yet touching, without grossing you out.

** What are your favorite zombie movies? Which ones did you think should've stayed buried?
I tried watching POntypool twice, once while working on my zombie novel and the other actually paying attention with my boyfriend. Way too talky. and I have a good attention span. My favorite is the original Dawn of the Dead, and my latest fave is The Dead, which is set in Africa and makes slow zombies scary again.

ReplyDelete...can't help it...Shaun of the Dead is still my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI did recently enjoy Fido, and groaned all the way through Last of the Living. Last of the Living really was bad, but it did have one redeeming scene. ...zombie in a parachute. Okay. That was funny.
