I concur.

Honestly this movie had no right to be as good as it was.

Shaun of the Dead is the only good zombie movie of this century.

Stubbs the Zombie vibe.

>>78920229
the english version of Rec was called Quarantine

>>78919787
It's plot hinges around a virus/parasite that turns people into man-eating monsters. What else do you call it?

fast ones are scarier, but the slow ones allow the buildup to when they finally do arrive to be more intense

Wyrmwood

just go to any modern kinoma and see all the zombies paying and watching their smut

Anyone see Train to Busan?

I enjoyed it. It was a bit over the top emotionally in some parts, and there were a few plot holes, but honestly it had one of my favorite zombie iterations. Like, WWZ movie zombies done right.

>>78922699
yes but they made a life action adaptation

Dawn of the Dead (Original Version)

Return of the Living Dead

Zombi 2

The Dead by the Ford Brothers

>>78920156
It was called Warm Bodies.

I don't even like zombie movies but can watch his first 3 any time

>>78926927
I still don't understand why the younger sister let all the zombies in. Was she just disillusioned by the selfishness of the people in the cabin when it was juxtaposed against her sister's kindness?

>ITT: People listing films like 28 Days that aren't zombie movies

I'm ready to punch some of you in the dick.

Never forget the rule: if a character is an asshole he's gotta die. It's what the audience is waiting for.

>>78923796

>>78925033
Maggie only has two zombies in it and yet they're the most unsettling and disturbing zombies I've ever seen in a film.

>>78920288
This, one of the best. Is it still on Netflix?

I only just realized by seeing them written directly next to each other that shaun of the dead is a play on dawn of the dead
it's moments like this where I briefly realize just how nonperceptive and retarded I am and how many obvious things I'm missing/how much analysis I must be failing to make

>>78927004
Her nation was getting fucked, and she was getting old. She didn't give a shit. As soon as she saw the other old lady sacrificing herself to save the others, while the others didn't give fuck all but their own lives, she got triggered to the next level.

>>78927106
That's what I thought

>>78927004
I think so, but that was one of the things that seemed pretty stupid. That and the whole "you fuckers might be infected even though we know the infection shows itself within a few minutes, so move past us to the much safer front car!" was pretty stupid.

That being said, spastic moshpit zombies were fun, and it definitely had some intense moments.

>>78927011
This.

no voodoo = NOT a zombie movie
no witch doctor = NOT a zombie movie
no living humans in a trance working as slaves = NOT a zombie movie
undead ghouls = NOT a zombie movie

>>78927150
Ok, not technically zombie movies, but come on. Its generally accepted that humans who turn into mindless flesh-eating husks when bitten by other infected humans qualify as "zombie movies."

>>78927150
>muh voodoo memes

Oh you!

>>78927135
Also, when they reached Busan, instead of going out right away, why didn't they just wait in the train until night?

All in all, the movie had a lot of good points, but I think it needed to think things out a bit more.

>>78924610
this is really a piece of shit except for the shark v zombie scene

I really like the Night of the Living dead remake. Very underrated.

>>78926986
pretty good actually. they god Hideo right, Hirami is cute, some slight differences to the manga but that's to be expected. story finishes after the mall

>>78927013
seen it, it's trash

>>78919254
I really liked the I am a Hero movie adaption of the manga.

>>78926927
Very unimaginative but slick looking. I don't get the hype.

Fact: Day of the Dead is the best zombie movie ever made.

>>78927591
It was fun and brutal.

Had a lot of stupid parts like>>78927269
>>78927004

But overall it was a fun movie. No Predator, but maybe Predator 2

>>78927199
It's fiction. There is no such thing as a "real zombie" to compare fictional zombies to, so there's no way to nail down the idea.

The core of the idea of a zombie is malevolent possession, i.e. some evil outside force taking control of your mind/body and using it for evil. That's really all that defines the subgenre. The force can be a voodoo witch doctor, Satan, aliens, rays from a comet, tissue grafted to a woman's armpits after a motorcycle accident, a virus, a parasite, sonic radiation, etc. Pretty much every force you could imagine has been used in the premise of a zombie story.

Also the zombies can be living or dead, fast or slow, smart or dumb. Those distinctions really aren't essential to the subgenre and people who insist on them are just being pedantic, like I was making fun of with my "voodoo zombies are the only real zombies" joke.

The malevolent possession definition isn't a clear definition anyway, since it bleeds over into other subgenres like Exorcist-style demonic possession, Dracula-style vampire covens, and Manchurian Candidate type stories. I don't think this is a problem. Genres are fluid. You can combine ideas in pretty much any way.

I'd say that zombie stories are just possession stories with a certain spin on them. The one element that might distinguish zombie stories as their own clear subgenre is that they're about mass possessions rather than individual possessions. So the movie The Exorcist is a demonic possession movie, but Demons or The Evil Dead are both zombie movies and demonic possession movies.

Besides that, looking for other definitive elements is just splitting hairs.

>>78927546
I agree desu. The forest part was too long and the girl's mutation under-used but it was still pretty good.
>the final mall showdown
Muh dick, was even better than the manga

>>78927712
Yeah, it had hit and good, but no misses. I hope to see more kino from Japan.

Two different kinds of horror.

The fast zombies are more of an immediate threat but it reduces them to the same status as any other kind of monster. So the rules of survival are the same as, say for the xenomorphs, werewolves, etc, outrun the slowest and tool up.

With slow zombies it's more psychological horror. Humanity is reduced to small islands amidst a sea of the dead. Run as hard as you can, but you have to rest sometime, and then the slow shuffling steps are catching up. The fear here is the inevitability of the survivors' situation.

Some recent books have started mixing the two. The infected people slowly turn into feral fast movers who run and bite; upon being killed (conventionally) they resurrect into the slow shamblers who can only be stopped by headshots. Z.A.Recht's Morningstar books do this, as does Mira Grant's Newsflesh series.

>>78928192
Some random Serbian zombie movie called Zone of the Dead (that happens to have Ken Foree) had a mix of the two types.
The "Primary Infected" became runners when exposed directly to the toxic gas. Those who are bitten become the slow shamblers.

>>78928192
those books any good?

>>78927150
your fucking retarded

>>78928622
The Morningstar Strain is a bit juvenile (in delivery but not content) but the Newsflesh books by Mira Grant (a pen name of urban fantasy writer Seanan McGuire) are well written and her world building is much better.
