Worst zombie film ever...

I'd say the worst ones I've seen are Resident Evil 2 and 3; I thought the first one was quite good (though admittedly the first zombie film I'd seen) because it still had a nice claustrophobic feel about it and was focusing on the zombies. But what the hell was up with all the mind powers-they didn't even make it a main part of the story.
I was also quite disappointed with Land of the Dead and Diary of the Dead-Land of the Dead was just kind of like Resident Evil 2 and completely sucked, and Diary of the Dead tried to do an interesting take on the genre, but in the end I think seemed to end up as more of a social commentary in the context of a zombie apocalypse as opposed to being all about the zombie apocalypse.
George Romero's a genius though.

The worst zombie movie I have ever seen has to be 28 weeks later.
28 days later was pretty good but I thought that they were just desperately trying to follow up on it's success with 28 weeks, it just felt like a case of 'same shit, different timeline'.
I also didn't like the Resi movies that much, to me it seemed that they were desperately trying to have their cake (please the fans) and eat it (please those unfamiliar with Resi) which resulted in it getting somewhat over the top at times.

i like to NOT think about the part early in 28 weeks later where he gouges out his wife's eyes after the kiss. Carrier form? Pfft, it was just a lame excuse to kick off a sequel for 28 Days, which wasn't too bad on its own.
i haven't seen ANY of these zombie movies you all speak of. i played Left 4 Dead though, simply because it's by Valve...and they're pretty much the shit when it comes to making games (can't wait to see HL2 Ep 3!!!).
I agree with the idea that the whole 'running' concept was created because today people don't get scared as easily. Zombies are supposed to shuffle around and groan at you with their arms raised, but if they bare their teeth, hiss, scream and bum-rush in packs of 50 or more, and MAYBE if they claw the limbs and face off of a hapless under-developed non-essential character (with gore/limbs/blood-spray special effects included of course), chosen only for his/her ability to scream really realistically, these days you tend to find yourself more open to the idea of sleeping with the light on ;D

While it was definitely "so bad, it's hilarious", I must agree with House of the Dead. Holy crap, that was bad. Seriously, editing in flashes of HOTD 2 (the video game)?
I -really- enjoyed DeadSet, the E4 special they did last year for Halloween, zombies much like the ones in 28 Days/Weeks Later, and the last surviving people are the ones left in the Big Brother house.
I hate Big Brother with a loathing passion, but it was awesome seeing people stupid enough to sign up that piece of shite of a TV show getting eaten alive. You also see some of the old housemates from the older BB's get eaten and then killed. Sweet sweet justice, if only acted

But the answer is Zombie Strippers...Honestly...
This thread is over as soon as I point out the next bad Zombie Film. And I assure you it is the worst without a doubt in the world.
Hard Rock Zombies
Hard Rock Zombies
They are making WWZ into a movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/ I really hope it turns out well. If done correctly I think critics will hate it since it won't be a typical zombie flick. However, I will love it.CapnGod said:
My worst zombie movie ever would probably have to be Zombie Nightmare (1986) staring Adam West.
Here is a link to the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version if anyone is interested. (I'm assuming that there is no copyright issue since it's on Google Video)

Zombies: Outbreak on a Plane
Can I have some comments saying "You sooooooooo win" with a nice helping of sarcasm, please?

Technically Jason isn't a zombie he's half Deadite(evil dead) I know I am a total nerd for knowing this but the idea of a sequel to "Freddy vs Jason" was "Freddy vs Jason vs Ash" the idea to make a movie was scraped but it was turned into a comic book series. In the series you learn Jason's mother rose Jason from the grave using the Necronomicon. Thus making him half deadite not a zombie.Quantana said:
As I said total nerd knowledge
You know George Romero actually had the idea before JJ, it's just that he released the film later.TopHatTim said:
