28 days/weeks later

I just finishing watching both movies back to back, and I must say I totally loved them both. There were a few scenes that I didn't like, but for the most part they are pretty much the best zombie films I've seen.
In the last few months I've become totally fascinated by zombies in a frightened sort of way. The whole idea really scares me and I love watching survival scenarios play out on screen.
so far I've seen the newest Dawn of the Dead and the 70s one, as well as 28 days/weeks, and shaun of the dead. Does anyone recommend any of the other zombie movies out there? I've looked into it, but most don't seem appealing. I'm not so much into the gore-fests. I can't wait for a well made and acted, stylish, realistic zombie movie to come out.

I just found there are another few zombie movies coming out in the next few years. one is called World War Z, its based on a book. imdb says: " Ten years after the human victory over the world wide Zombie epidemic, referred to as World War Z, Max Brooks scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived the conflict that almost eradicated humanity. "
cool, huh? i hope there are flashbacks!

"Dead and Breakfast" Not zombies in a traditional sense but zombies none the less. I rented it at Blockbuster a few months ago. You could probably find it on some p2p if not at Blockbuster.

The scene at the beginning of 28 days when he wakes up in the hospital naked and you see his tiny penis. Totally inappropriate.

I'll go with the old school slow stupid zombies. The fast zombies are totally unrealistic. If your dead and rotting your not going to be running around.

evil dead/amry of darkness series and dead alive are good.
i've often fantacised about making the worlds campiest zombie movie but with phenomenal CG and cool actors. i'd call it killed alive, or alternately, night of the return of the living dead alive. it would have to have samule l jackson, christopher walken and steve buschemi in it. it would also have to have good representation of global war and demonstrate all levels of wilderness survival and weapons improvisation.

I read that World War Z book. Its really good, it focuses on how humanity as a whole would react to a Zombie epidemic, a little bit of politics as well as a bunch of action told from the perspective of different people around the world. I'd recommend it to any fans of Zombies. The language isn't all that complicated/deep and you're not gonna find much for hidden meaning or plot twists, but its really really interested to the fans of the Zombie lore.

the zombie survival guide is also pretty cool its a book / e-book that you can find circulating on the net. it has some interesting ways of dealing with zombies but also has a whole different theory on what zombies are, their senses and all that.

You have to watch all of George A Romeros Zombie movies in order.
Night of the living Dead Day of the Dead Dawn of the Dead Land of the Dead
I may be forgetting one but I think that is all of them. Also, only watch the originals because the remakes do not do them justice.
Oh, and I too am a Zombie film buff.

28 days/weeks later are not zombie films. the people don't die and come back to life with a thirst for brains. they're rage infected humans who are still alive and don't give a shit about brains, they just crave blood, guts and carnage.

I think the term Zombie is more to do with the state of the individual rather than the returning to life part. Zombie might have been singled out to the undead 10 years ago, but the genre has definitely evolved. I think the term Zombie now just means a complete loss of identity, reasoning, social behaviour, as well as a ravenous and inexplicable hunger for flesh.

if you watch the extras on the DVD the guy who wrote it doesn't think of them as zombies but i guess i'm the only person who watched the extras.

It doesn't really matter whether he sees them as zombies or not. They are zombies. He's just trying to make himself feel more original.
But the zombies in this movie, aside from their speed, which is nothing new to the genre either, i.e. Return of the Living Dead, are almost identical to the zombies in Planet Terror, except that Rodriguez knows a zombie when he sees one.
The zombie legend originally comes out of Haitian voodoo.
--------------- According to the tenets of Voodoo, a dead person can be revived by a bokor or Voodoo sorcerer. Zombies remain under the control of the bokor since they have no will of their own. "Zombi" is also another name of the Voodoo snake god Damballah Wedo, of Niger-Congo origin; it is akin to the Kongo word nzambi, which means "god". There also exists within the voudon tradition the zombi astral which is a human soul that is captured by a bokor and used to enhance the bokor's power.
In 1937, while researching folklore in Haiti, Zora Neale Hurston encountered the case of Felicia Felix-Mentor, who had died and been buried in 1907 at the age of 29. Hurston pursued rumors that the affected persons were given powerful drugs, but she was unable to locate individuals willing to offer much information. She wrote:
"What is more, if science ever gets to the bottom of Voodoo in Haiti and Africa, it will be found that some important medical secrets, still unknown to medical science, give it its power, rather than gestures of ceremony."
Several decades later, Wade Davis, a Canadian ethnobotanist, presented a pharmacological case for zombies in two books, The Serpent and the Rainbow (1985) and Passage of Darkness: The Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie (1988). Davis traveled to Haiti in 1982 and, as a result of his investigations, claimed that a living person can be turned into a zombie by two special powders being entered into the blood stream (usually via a wound). The first, coup de poudre (French: 'powder strike'), induced a 'death-like' state because of tetrodotoxin (TTX), its key ingredient. Tetrodotoxin is the same lethal toxin found in the Japanese delicacy fugu, or pufferfish. At near-lethal doses (LD50= 5-8µg/kg)[2], it can leave a person in a state of near-death for several days, while the person continues to be conscious. The second powder, composed of dissociatives like datura, put the person in a zombie-like state where they seem to have no will of their own. Davis also popularized the story of Clairvius Narcisse, who was claimed to have succumbed to this practice. There remains considerable skepticism about Davis's claims,[3] although there is wide belief among the Haitian people of the existence of the "zombie drug". The Voodoon religion being somewhat secretive in its practices and codes, it can be very difficult for a foreign scientist to validate or invalidate such claims. --------------------------------
All from wikipedia.
Talking about 28 Days Later...thought it was a great movie with a really important message about hope in a seemingly hopeless world which I thought was very powerful and really helped carry the story. The second movie, in my opinion, disgraces the first.

The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.” -- Thomas Jefferson The greatest sin of mankind is ignorance.

I thought the re-infection scenario in the 2nd movie was really lame. "Oh look, this women is obviously infected, but she seems fine so we're gonna let her husband go in and make out with her." WTF?

I was going to mention that too, it wasn't dead bodies coming back to life, but an infection taking over.
Anyway these are two of my favorite movies and soundtracks.

i didnt like weeks as much as days either
I just find there were a lot more holes in the plot, and i felt that the writers could have taken more time to create a more realistic repopulation / reinfection story.
they definitely should have done away with the whole dad zombie looking for kids thing, which I found pretty stupid.
they could have also thought of a better way for the outbreak to have started.
