Have you seen the preview for the new Zombie flick called ‘World War Z‘ yet? From the trailer we know a few things:
ZOMBIES!
It appears to be different from the book
What do you guys think from what we’ve seen so far?
PS. What the hell is with all the damn ‘Inception Horns’ going off in that trailer?!?!
George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead changed horror movies forever. It’s impact on the genre is jaw dropping, and is revered by most of us to be a masterpiece. It was made in 1968, it was black and white and it gave us a new spin on the zombie. We may take flesh eating zombies for granted nowadays, but if this movie hadn’t came to be then we would simply have living cannibals at best to worry about. Now that I have said that, let me ask you this… If it was so great, Why has it been remade? Well as many of you know, imitation is a form of flattery. That, and George Romero lost the rights to the movie making it fall into the public domain ‘GASP!’. So in this edition of remakes head to head, we will be covering the movie that started it all, the Genesis of the ‘flesh eating’ zombies, ‘Night of the Living Dead‘ and the inevitable remakes that followed. What I won’t be covering is the colorized re-issue, the terrible extended footage in the 30th anniversary edition, or the cartoon version that used the original sound track. Three movies enter… only 1 will reign supreme! But, who’s it going to be?

So your town is infested with flesh-eating zombies, you’re looking for shelter and you need to figure out a good place and fast! There are really 4 scenarios that come into play when being notified of the zombie outbreak.
The zombie comedy, ‘zomedy‘ or ‘ZomCom’ is a pretty small portion of the horror genre. The zomcom fulfills two needs in my life simultaneously which is the need to see a zombie movie and the need to laugh at things. The marriage of the two ideas really hits the spot and I’m pleased to share a little of my zombie addiction with you! Continue reading “Top 10 Zomedy Movies (Zombie Comedies)” »
Let me start off by saying that I love zombie movies! And if you like zombie flicks, you almost automatically like George Romero. George Romero is the man when it comes to zombies and in fact he defined what the modern zombie is. Zombies in films before Romero’s 1968 classic ‘Night of the Living Dead’, were just catatonic people under mind control or people under a voodoo spell of sorts. George has given us the gift of the modern flesh eating zombies, and his work has been imitated and even *gasp* remade! Although he has directed several films he is best known for his ‘of the dead’ series which are ‘Night of the Living Dead’, ‘Dawn of the Dead‘, ‘Day of the Dead’, ‘Land of the Dead’, Diary of the Dead, and ‘Survival of the Dead’. A few of the remakes of his work were decent like Tom Savini’s 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead, and others were terrible like Night of the Living Dead 3D or the remake of Day of the Dead (2008). The original Dawn of the Dead was one of my favorite zombie films of all time, and I was also impressed with the remake. But which one will reign supreme?
