Iambaytor Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 You know, I keep thinking that the zombie genre has finally reached that point that vampire films did in the mid-90s where it's just time to forget about them for 10 years because there's really nothing left. But every time something like this comes out and proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Agreed, but I still don't think the zombie genre has had it's fill yet (pun intended). I just hope that this movie sparks up better zombie movie quality from it's blockbusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpunkyMonkey Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I really enjoy the trailer, i do hope it's not a dissapointment like the resident evil sequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Non-British made zombie movies that are not from 20 years ago or earlier don't put my hopes up. The 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead was pretty good. Zombieland looks like it should be nothing but awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Non-British made zombie movies that are not from 20 years ago or earlier don't put my hopes up. Dance of the Dead Undead Slither Special dEaD Dead and Breakfast Planet Terror [REC] Pontypool Fido Land of the Dead Diary of the Dead Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead Quarantine (US remake of [REC], but still counts) Outpost The Roost Severed: Forest of the Dead Automoton Transfusion All non-British and released since 2000, admittedly some are barely even zombies and Severed and Special dEaD walk the fine line between great and shit. But regardless, that's a pretty respectable list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Just saying, there's still a good chunk of movies out there that are worth getting excited over. Hell Fido is up there with Shaun of the Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Just keep in mind that that part in Hot Fuzz where Danny opens the closet and it's just stuffed with DVDs, that is my "stash" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panch Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Dance of the Dead Great one for an indy! Undead Crap. Sucks such an awesome name was wasted on this flick. Slither I guess technically a zombie movie. Also bad (my opinion... I know people like this one). Special dEaD Never seen or head of. Dead and Breakfast Ok. Nice try by the film makers, but doesn't make my cut. Planet Terror Awesome! One of my faves. [REC] Also awesome! American DVD comin' out next month... bought. Pontypool Never heard of. Fido One of my faves. Land of the Dead Romero. Nuff said. Diary of the Dead Same. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead With a name like that, has to be shit. Haven't seen it though, so I don't know for sure. Quarantine (US remake of [REC], but still counts) An abortion! Should never have been remade. AND it's not even zombies. It's... rabies. Crap. Outpost Great potential, but no. Not even zombies either. The Roost Never seen it. Severed: Forest of the Dead Same. Automoton Transfusion And possibility the worst on this list. My god, was so bad. All non-British and released since 2000, admittedly some are barely even zombies and Severed and Special dEaD walk the fine line between great and shit. But regardless, that's a pretty respectable list. I can probably find some more to add, but I gotta think. I'll get back to this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I don't get your hatred for Undead, it has everything over-the-top action, gore, humor, zombies. I'm assuming you get hung up on the whole alien thing like everybody else did, I personally thought it was an interesting take even if it did kinda make the second half drag at times. And Automaton Transfusion had some charm under all that low-budget. Also: Special dEaD Pontypool Poultrygeist (It's a TROMA film) The Roost Severed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 also, ill not hear Slither besmirched. Nathan Fillon does no wrong.Not to mention an ensemble cast of Nathan Fillion, Greg Henry, Elizabeth Banks, and Michael Rooker Can't go wrong with Nazi zombiesWell the review I heard over on CHUD wasn't good but then again Devin Faraci is a snobbish cunt who only manages to be right about half the time. I'll reserve judgement till I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Well when you get down here you can show me your whole stash, i've been meaning to get a new unhealthy obsession over something lately, it's been a while.I smell a zombie marathon in addition to the anime one. This makes me happy.I don't get your hatred for Undead, it has everything over-the-top action, gore, humor, zombies. I'm assuming you get hung up on the whole alien thing like everybody else did, I personally thought it was an interesting take even if it did kinda make the second half drag at times.And Automaton Transfusion had some charm under all that low-budget.Also:Special dEaDLooks promising.PontypoolLooks promising.Poultrygeist (It's a TROMA film)Looks unappealing. Then again its TROMA, that doesn't surprise me too much.The RoostSome potential.SeveredSome potential.Can't go wrong with Nazi zombiesIt would seem difficult.

Panch Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 First off let me say thanks to Baytor for these awesome vids, cause ALL of these films have Panchy's name written all over them! I don't get your hatred for Undead, it has everything over-the-top action, gore, humor, zombies. I'm assuming you get hung up on the whole alien thing like everybody else did, I personally thought it was an interesting take even if it did kinda make the second half drag at times. Sorry man, couldn't like it. Great potential, but you got it... aliens is what fucked it up. That and the zombie fish. Didn't like the zombie fish (but ironically liked the zombie frog in Dance of the Dead). And Automaton Transfusion had some charm under all that low-budget. No way. Hurt my eyes looking at it. Hurt my heart for the zombie lover in me. Special dEaD - Looks funny. Gonna check it out, but I know it'll be one of those I don't keep. Pontypool - Had seen this (not the movie, but the news on it) and liked it's working title better. Dead Air. If it's good, I'll buy it and print up a cover with 'Dead Air'. Done. Poultrygeist - Woah. I'll watch it, but know I won't like it. It'll be one of the underground hits for sure. The Roost - Already forgot the trailer, but'll give a try. I always do! Severed - Could be the sleeper of the bunch. Very interested. Alex's Dead Snow - Also, all Panchy right there. Oh and Slither? Sorry Nick. Watched it in the theater and wanted my money back. How often do I say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
