    Absolutely amazing set of films but for me they are demons! Also some of the characters didn't even die but became possessed anyway.

    You might be right about them being demons, the necronomicon had various demonic rights in it. Apparently reading them aloud brought the dead back to life - or in the case of the second movie, playing a recording of a reading..

    Still, i reckon it could be classified as a zombie flick as well as a demon one - but then even 'Demons' by Dario Argento was effectively a zombie movie too

    Good points in fairness, talking of Dario Argento have you ever watched Suspiria? Super film.

    Think all the best ones have been mentioned so I'll throw a few more in that I enjoyed.

    Rammbock Berlin Undead - Only an hour long but extremely enjoyable. I find the main guy a bit annoying though.

    The Dead 2 - I've seen The Dead mentioned (the one set in Africa), well there's a second one now. Its set in India and not bad movie at all.

    Dead Meat - I loved this. Irish zombie movie :pac: The aul fella in this is gas.

    Cemetery man - A classic. Not everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed it.

    Pontypool... great movie, I was captivated by the dj voice more than the movie itself. Pure smooth listening.

    edited just to add the zombie diaries and ZD 2 are pretty decent viewing as well.

    Going to look at the returned soon, sounds promising.

    Probably not a real zombie movie, but warm bodies was decent I thought.

    And of course
    28 days later
    28 weeks later
    (Any sign of 28 months later???)
    Dawn of the dead remake

    Btw, zombies should always be fast and sprint everywhere! Yep, I said it!

    You're the first! Congrats!

    Yeah, they referred to them as infected in the film and it was a rage virus - still classified as zombie genre movie though..

    28 days later is an amazing film.
    It's so good which is what makes it terrifying too.
    Wasn't there loads of rumors about one after 28 weeks later set in mainland Europe.

    Supposedly, but I think that there were ownership issues and some people were getting ants in their pants about it!

    From wiki so take it as ya will: "In October 2010, when Alex Garland was asked what was happening with 28 Months Later, he declared: "I'll answer that completely honestly. When we made 28 Days Later, the rights were frozen between a group of people who are no longer talking to each other. And so, the film is never going to happen unless those people start talking to each other again"

    Not a movie but I've just discovered the BBC series "In the Flesh" from a few years back and am impressed so far. Interesting take on the genre.

    deadgirl, but its dealing with really disturbing issues
    This is the most unique zombie film ever made, it manages to avoid all the typical zombie movie plot holes, I don't think there's even gore in it, it's not really a horror film in the traditional sense but it's probably going to be one of the most disturbing films you'll ever see.

    For added shock value don't read what the film is about and just watch it.

    not trying to get all picky on this but i am legend and the better original the omega man (and there is an original original with Vincent Price (its pants by the way, cant remember the name) is technically dealing with vampires (not the hormonal teenager angst ridden sparkling kind) and not zombies.

    but either way it has Charlton Heston in it so therefore anyone who dislikes it is a filthy communist ;) ...also i might add the omega man has the coolest sub machine gun ever....

    but great adds -- kinda annoyed i didnt add them to my list....
