What's the best zombie movie?

[MajorTomServo]

Zombie movies are a dime a dozen, especially since they became trendy and netflix became a thing.

Of all the ones you've seen, which one is the best?


In my opinion, cheesy as it is, Return of the Living Dead was the scariest. Had the most scary costumes of any I've ever seen (especially the main zombie, the brown one covered in sludge), the zombies were somewhat intelligent, and there was no way to kill them.


What about you? Be it scary, funny, campy, or all three, which one is your favorite?

I love all the George Romero ones pretty much so its hard to pick which one I like the most. I really enjoyed the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead.

Also probably not as popular as Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, I loved Day of the Dead. The whole semi intelligent zombie thing was interesting.

One aspect I like about zombie movies is the older ones that use make up instead of special effects.

Day of the Dead is my favorite easily, the bad guy is just so brilliantly psychotic.

But I also like Braindead, Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later. Dead Set was also great but it's a TV miniseries not a film.

My favorite is Shaun of the Dead. I loved the comedy in the movie. I just wish a similar movie could be released now to parody zombie movies and show how they are becoming a dime a dozen cash ins.

Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland are pretty good as deconstruction and recontruction of the Zombie genre respectively. I like all the Romero movies but some really don't age well, I watched the original Dawn of the Dead and Snyder's back to back and as blasphemous as it is I prefered the later.

Evil Dead. Bruce Campbell. Your argument is invalid. xD

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pretty much Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland since the whole survival aspect of a zombie film is to me had been over used far too many. I mean those two add humour or an appeal while trying not to get eaten.

The Walking Dead. It's just one long, unfinished, incredibly fucking awesome adaptation.

 

[Thespian]

Zombieland. It's fun and cool with some enjoyable if one-dimensional characters. But it gets across the whole survival thing in a humourous way.

I can give you my top 5: Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, Night of the Living Dead, 28 Days Later, and Pontypool.

The original [REC], without a doubt. I thought it had excellent everything.

Only problem I had was that no one knew what a zombie was.
But whatever.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man's Chest.

What? It counts!

 

[Handbag1992]

The Walking Dead. It's just one long, unfinished, incredibly fucking awesome adaptation.

I have to agree with you there, I've just finished reading the comic book (up to the most recent issue) and I think I want to marry the thing.

Hard one! Zombie Flesh Eaters has some of the beast atmosphere and zombie design, but it is very cheesy. It has a zombie fighting a shark, for one thing. Shaun of the Dead has a very special place in my heart for a few reasons.

The most original take on it that I've seen is Pontypool. Really, really interesting take on it. Here's the short of it: it takes place in a radio station, and the "zombie virus" is spread via infected words. See it!
