Zombie Movie Recommendations

Guest

I love George Romero's Zombie series (NOTLD, Day of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead) sans Land of the Dead.

In your opinion, What are some great zombie movies other than the Romero "Living Dead" series?

Dead Alive

Now, this is pure cheese. Not scary but a hilarious gore fest. This line alone is worth it for me.

From a karate weilding priest - "I kick a$$ for the Lord!"

classic!

28 Days Later

Now this one I loved and it was scary (to me). The humans are not technically Zombies as in they are not the Undead but their desires, behavior and attributes are historically Zombie besides not being dead...

The Resident Evil movies are great
I Am Legend-I dont think I would consider them zombies,but mutated humans will do.

City Of The Living Dead (aka Gates Of Hell), Zombi 2 (or anything else by Fulci), Dead Alive (that zombie baby is another really memorable part), The Beyond, Hard Rock Zombies.

And of course you can't forget the original RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

House of the Dead comes to mind as well. Hilarious fight scenes

I'm not a huge horror (or the zombie sub-genre) fan, but I'd have to go with one already mentioned - dawn of the dead (the original) is an all time classic

Here's a list...

Dead Alive's original title, and also the one they used here in Norway, is Brain Dead! A much better title. Everything Peter Jackson have touched is gold, but that is another thread.

I hated Dead Alive.

Here's some personal faves:
28 Days Later (haven't seen the sequel yet, but I want to)
Return of the Living Dead 1-3
Shaun of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead 2004
Night of the Living Dead 1990

In recent years, Flight of the Living Dead was good b-movie fun. I haven't seen Diary of the Dead yet, but I wanna see that one as well.

28 days later and play the Resident Evil Video games.

One of my all-time favorite movies of any genre - Evil Dead 2.

I can safely say I've probably seen that more times than any other movie.

Some great B-movies:

-Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (great and very underrated)
-Zombi Holocaust (pretty good "Zombie 2" clone)
-Hell of the Living Dead (by master Bruno Mattei, pretty good in my opinion)
-Nightmare City (fast zombies like "28 Days Later" by cannibal movies director Umberto Lenzi)

and If you want some zombi trash movies check out:

-Erotic Nights of the Living Dead
-Burial Ground
-Zombi 3 and 4 (but I liked the 3th!)
-Oasis of the Zombies
-Zombie Lake

Another vote for Dead Alive. But it's an absolute necessity to view the UNRATED version.

Planet Terror is another great one! Actually finally surpassed Dead Alive for goriest movie I've ever seen.

And if you're not afraid of subtitles, "Stacy" is a great Japanese zombie flick.

I gotta stand by your recos Toho...

I still say "DEAD & BURIED" is a nifty little zombie flick....sorta.

Yeah, Dead & Buried is a great flick!

I saw that for the first time when I was in college. That opening sequence just really got under my skin...

"Am I pretty Freddie???"
