If you're going for scary, try [REC] if you can find it. Hollywood remade it (in an inferior fashion, of course) as Quarantine.
It's shaky-POV-cam unfortunately, so if that makes you nauseous, avoid it, but otherwise it's probably the downright scariest zombie film I've ever seen.

I gotta go with Dead Alive probably because it created the infamous "Lawnmower scene" and because if you have a lot of zombies, you gotta have a lot of blood and gore. It was close though I was torn between Dawn of the Dead and Dead Alive.
I was gonna check "28 Days Later" but for some reason it was paired with "28 Weeks Later". "28 Weeks Later" was a far worse movie then the original and should be a completely separate choice. It does not do justice to the original.
And I agree that "Zombieland" was one of the best.

yeah, no. "28 Weeks Later" was horrible. It was predictable, stupid, and didn't even make sense.cabooze said:
Danny Boyle (28 Days) vs. the nameless schmuck (28 Weeks)...yeah, Danny Boyle wins every time. Thats what happens when you have a competent director in charge of a project that is truly unique and original, rather then one who is trying to cash in on a successful property.
28 days later, it's got a nice evolution of location, great pace, and is fucking terrorfying.
Also didn't it invent fast zombies?
(if some one says L4D invented fast zombies, i might scream)
EDIT: 28 Weeks is still good, but it's much worse than its forbare, mainly because the pacing goes to shit, (it stops being a rollercoaster ride and just becomes... falling of a cliff(?) and the hero's American, which feels really odd.

I really like the remake of Dawn of the Dead (wasn't sure if that's the one you meant but that's the one I went with), I also really like:
- Resident Evil Trilogy (soon to be quadrology)
- Evil Dead, Army of Darkness
- Zombieland
- 28 Days & Weeks Later (what's next? months?)

The original Day of the Dead is my favourite, it was just perfect
You should definitely some of Fulci's movies, such as the first zombie flesh eaters movie, the beyond and the house by the cemetery.
Finally give Re-animator a watch, awesome movie

...did you just call a movie about people stuck somewhere surrounded by things that want to eat them original?Shapoolaman said:
and also, just because the main character in 28 days is better doesn't mean that the movie is better. 28 days is an extremely run of the mill movie that looks good. and yes I know that 28 weeks is run of the mill but at least they do it well. the two movies are actually quite similar however, 28 weeks is so much more realistic. 28 days, omg crazy chimps have a virus that could turn into an epidemic and kill the human race, let's have so little security that some greenpeace guys can break in and set them free. and also, in case of a zombie apocalypse, go to a hospital and lie down on the ground for that is the best defense.
lastly, making a sequel or a spin-off doesn't mean that you are out of ideas. most of the time it means that you liked the idea of a movie but think it could be improved upon.
