    Shaun of the dead and the version of world war z i have in my head


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,042 ✭✭✭Wabbit Ears


    Le Horde


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,069 ✭✭✭Tzar Chasm


    I would agree, la horde is one of the most perfect zombie films i've ever seen, has just the right balance of everything, plot/gore/tension/humour/epic deaths/frights.

    I seriously considered learning french to better understand that film


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,576 ✭✭✭Paddy Cow


    Dead Set. It's not a movie but a 5 show mini tv series. It was set in the Big Brother house and is well worth a watch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,760 ✭✭✭Aglomerado


    Dawn of the Dead (Original)

    Night of the Living Dead

    Zombieland

    28 Days Later

    28 Weeks Later

    Return of the Living Dead (1984) - sequels aren't up to much though

    Braindead

    Fido :D

    Return of the Living Dead III is pretty good as gory zombie movies go, some great effects, not a comedy like ROTLD and ROTLD 2 though.

    Dawn of the Dead Remake is brilliant, as is The Horde. I must be one of the few who though 28 Days later was good to a point, and then became boring. I thought 28 Weeks was respectable as well.

    Resident Evil series is worth a watch, started to get very bad after the 3rd one though.

    1990 Night of the Living dead is good. Planet Terror is definitely worth a watch.

    Some of the 80's Italian imitations are worth watching for the gruesome special effects, if nothing else.

    For me, the absolute king of Zombie movies is Braindead. Total gorefest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 746 ✭✭✭ladypip


    Braindead is without a shadow of a doubt the worst movie ever made in any genre! I think ive ranted about it in this forum before.

    For me: Dawn of the dead remake & Dead Set.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,486 ✭✭✭miju


    So many to choose from but if I was to shortlist for me its gotta be

    Dawn of Dead remake and Dead Set (the producer was one of best characters ever imo) and Diary of the Dead also was great.

    The horde was also a great flick but my fave foreign zombie offering is a film called Rambbock Berlin Undead.

    Also, Pontypool has to get an honorable mention. As you can tell I have a preference towards the initial societal breakdown / confusion angles in zombie flicks.

    . I must be one of the few who though 28 Days later was good to a point, and then became boring. I thought 28 Weeks was respectable as well.

    Fully in agreement with you, I preffered the alternative endings and didn't like the army aspect at all was very out of place I thought


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Hootanany


    Zomblies is a good one about soldiers cut off from their extraction point.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,069 ✭✭✭Tzar Chasm


    ah yes pontypool, its not the end of the world, just the end of the day

    interesting premis for the spread of the virus. and it had at least one n screen zombie so it counts


  • Registered Users Posts: 599 ✭✭✭Slow_Runner


    Dead Snow - very well made and very funny
    28 Days Later
    Dead Set was pretty good mini series
    Dawn of the Dead remake
    1st Resident Evil - the rest were shockingly bad

    Warm Bodies not as bad as you'd expect, not a classic zombie flick but not too bad

  • Registered Users Posts: 274 ✭✭CPSW


    Can't believe Cockneys Vs Zombies has not been mentioned yet, it's a classic! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    well mine are

    28 days
    28 weeks
    dawn of dead remakes (the 2004 and the 90's one), make sure to watch after final credits of the 2004 one, kinda bleak and if you have the dvd there is the extra on the gun shop guy which is 'different' and a nice twist as well...if only they had waited). also some of the characters from the 90's one appear in the 2004 remake which is kinda cool.
    la horde
    zombieland -- even have a t-shirt from that
    world war z even if its pants compared to the book, i can switch off on the stupid parts
    pontypool, very different not everyones cup of tea
    the dead - suprisingly good and was not expecting it to be
    shaun of the dead
    deadgirl, but its dealing with really disturbing issues
    planet terror...simply because....


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,265 ✭✭✭youtube!


    For me it has to be "City of the living dead" 1980 gory and tense throughout really excellent movie and quite unknown.

    Also honourable mention to Zombie flesh eaters, the end scene with the radio announcer telling us that they are coming and then aaaaarrrrrrggghhhh is a classic.
