Watched that film last night. Jesus H Christy it was all over the place, they keep switching zombies one minute they're classic shufflers the next their runners. There are so many errors in continuity it just pulls the tone of the whole film down with it. If anyone wants the link to watch it they can pm me

I watched a film called dead girl last night, it has to be one of the weirdest and most unique uses of zombies in a film ever. Although I can't say for sure if it really is a zombie flick but it's definitely ****ed up.

I didn't know what exactly the film was about when I started watching it. It was a big surprise but a very good film, low budget but well put together. It's not fast paced at all and is allot more creepy than your traditional zombie flick.

It's about two teenage lads that break into a abandoned asylum in the basement they find a dead girl, I think you should avoid reading the reviews and just watch it. The reviews on IMDB give away allot of the plot and it would give away some of the surprises in the film to read them, part of the reason some give away so much of the plot is to warn you away, some people really didn't like the content of the film. Here are some quotes from IMDB..

"I'd have to say the plot is pretty original, albeit completely tasteless."

"This movie is exploitative, disgusting, and an abomination to film itself. How this got into ANY film festival is completely unacceptable and shameful. This is the kind of filth that makes me want to switch my profession from film."

"it is much better than a simple horror film and really defies categorization. Deadgirl is a look into how we humanize, empathize and sympathize. It is a very provocative film and I squirmed many times."

I very much doubt you'll find this film in any dvd stores it's on amazon if you want a link pm me.

Just don't expect a fast paced blood fest it's really not your typical modern zombie film. It's more like the original zombie films slow and steady.

Flight Of The Living Dead: Outbreak On A Plane is good b-movie fun. I'd rate it quite highly, especially as it was straight to dvd.

Call of Duty 5 Nazi Zombies :D 8) . All I need is one of those magic boxes and loads of moneys

graham1985

In my opinion diary of the dead and land of the dead should be removed from the list because honestly I thought they were both brutal movies and that they didn't do the zombie genre any justice. However if you believe it is a must then I reckon this order will be good with the addition of two of my prefered zombie films:
1 Dawn of the dead (2004)
2 28 Days Later
3 Night of the Living Dead (1990)
4 Zombies wicked little things
5 Zombie diaries

Colin, this looks quite interesting
Zombie Transfusion
Zombie Virus on Mulberry Street.

Anybody seen any of these?

Kess73

Undead or alive. It is a zombie western



Kudos to the poster that mentioned Last Of The Living, it is an uber low budget slice of kiwi zombie fun. Although not as low budget as Colin.

Also check out Return of the Living Dead, funny and informative at the same time and I would also rate Braindead (which I think someone else has already mentioned) - contains some of the most creative ways on how to kill your average Zombie, the electric lawnmower scene is just class!!

ah balls, just reminded me, saw Braindead in HMV and meant to get it before I left.:(

ScumLord

Make sure you get the right braindead, there's another American film by the same name, it's got a really nice set of boobs halfway in but the rest is just awful.

Agreed, that was my first ever zombie film, and it got me hooked on the genre.

The scenes in the embalming room and the crematorium are hilarious. The zombies are excellent too, especially the female zombie who gets "interrogated" by the heroes.

I also love the things that come alive in the medical supplies warehouse, especially the split dogs.

I think the Eoin McLove episode of Father Ted took its inspiration from this film more than any other.

Micky Dolenz

Picked up BrainDead, hopefully the right one. (not the one with the boobs :pac:)

I'd highly suggest tracking down Pontypool (2008) if ya can find it. I'm in love w/ the freakin' thing and its really not my style of movie. It's zombie-related, to be sure...

Picked it up, liked it. Also picked up survival of the dead which wasn't all bad to be fair.

Watched Zombie Transfusion which was surprisingly good.

A Zombie packed weekend had so far. :P

ScumLord

Watched the Zombie diaries, it uses shambling zombies and is based in England but it's impossibly dull and boring.
