So after tonight's "grown up dinner" (Carprese followed by asparagus risotto) me and the missus are watching a romantic zombie movie.
There's a reason it's cheap.
It's pretty good IMO.
Some proper jumpy/tense bits.
If I'd never read the book it's based on I might of thought it was an ok generic zombie film.
Not a bad film, and certainly one of the best with zombies in it. The music (by Muse) is also superb.
Insanely bad film.
It's basically an hour and a half of Brad Pitt surviving the most ridiculously life threatening situations possible.
28 Days Later is 10X the zombie film.
It gains a point for the start being filmed in Glasgow...... that's probably the highlight
Its streaming at the moment on Now TV. I turned it off after 25 mins.
Needs to be it was crap lol

I thought the same about Sandra Bollock in Gravity.
WWZ, it was ok. But I like a Zombie bloodbath, so it had a head start. Wouldn't watch it again tbh.
Some half decent action bits in it and the idea of the fast zombies is good but overall it's poor.
Well this may have saved me the cost of watching it on sky box office tonight. Is it really that bad?
Yup
I'll let you know in about 3 hours. Looking forward to it.
I thought it was great. Looking forward to the next one.
I watched it last night on sky movies. Would have been upset if I'd paid for it on box office. Some good set pieces, but overall plot was a bit rubbish. Found myself fast forwarding quite a lot.

I watched this again recently after harping on to mrs file for years about how good it was. It's not 🙂
Perhaps The Walking Dead has changed my tolerance of zombie stuff, but it's nowhere near as good as I remember.
Just watched Rec (spanish zombie movie) last night....it's great!!!!
I wanted to hate World War Z before I'd ever watched it, but had to admit that it is pretty entertaining. Probably wouldn't watch it again, but good saturday-evening-in viewing
28 Days Later is pretty good it's different style of zombie flick.
28 Weeks later is awful and should have never been made.
REC is pretty good.
What I found odd after watching 28 Days Later again Drac, was how low budget and rough around the edges it is. I don't know why, but wherever I remember my favourite scenes in my head, they look nothing like how they were actually shot!
It was a great movie, was cutting edge at the time, I think maybe we've just had too many following the same path now which has tainted it for me. I'll never forget walking home through Glasgow at 1am after having watched it at the cinema 🙂
I would happily watch it again. It isn't that bad.
Yeah very low budget but that some how added to the 'Realism' of it. With that and it's age it maybe hasn't held up too well.

The scene where Robert Carlisle leaves his wife as she is being attacked and runs to the river with massive attack playing is utterly epic!!!
One of the best and most powerful scenes I have ever seen in a movie that has really stayed with me.
And that's where it ends.
Admittedly I can remember much after that. Though the scene where robert Carlisle is infected is another cracker.
I seem to be immersed in zombies at the minute. Watched world war z for the second time yesterday. Am
currently playing Resident Evil 4 on the Wii and Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS, just bought Resident Evil Archives (remake of the original but with better graphics) and I'm literally watching the Walking Dead as I type this.
If your into zombies, try reading the marvel zomnibus - expensive but fantastic, loved it. I tried telling the wife it was a graphic novel but she just looked at me pityingly, and muttered something about me being too old for comics.

I thought that the down to earth production made it much more believable.
And there's not a bad performance in it.
One of the best British horror films ever, imo.

Brilliant, isn't it? 🙂

What gets me is that civilisation has crumbled, the world is burning, they go to Wales, and IT LOOKS COMPLETELY NORMAL As in just like Wales looks without a zombie apocalypse.
Then they go and see Dr Who
That's because there is no civilisation in Wales, hence no change after the zombie apocalypse. 🙂
Insanely bad film.

Good Zombie films have something called blood & gore.
There is the slow suspenseful feeling of dread creeping up all the time, there is never a happy ending, no matter how fast you run you won't escape.... & most of all...most of all, remember kids a decaying human corpse should not develop superhuman running & stamina their only interest should be the next meal...
What's with human obsession with zombie movies? Just cant figure out for the life of me..
WWZ zombie is in different league though, watched it in cinema.. I was in the edge of my seat the entire time.brilliant zombie movie...walking dead zombie are gay, even kids can kill it .
I enjoyed it as a comedy really,

Do they all? It just makes things dull if you know what you are getting.
I found it more of a Saturday night light hearted action film.
Do I really have to be the first person to say that the film sucks and the book is a million times better. If you haven't read it yet get ready to spend an entire day reading it and having watched the film already won't spoil it for you.
It was a massive let down from the book.
It gains a point for the start being filmed in Glasgow...... that's probably the highlight
**** me, I didn't know it was a documentary!
Update.
We enjoyed it. That is all that matters to me.
Free on XBMC for what a friend tells me
It was OK, but if we're talking "fast zombies" rather than classic shuffling "romero" zombies, then 28 days later smashes it out of the park. 28 WEAKS later (spelling deliberate) was weak, had potential, but just got too silly towards the end, although Paris falling at the end was a highlight.
Walking Dead is great. The whole reason Zombie films work (shuffling versions) is the inevitability that you will succumb as a result of their ever increasing numbers & the collapse of the support structures you have come to rely on, a conceptual metaphor for the growing global population and the struggle for increasingly scarce resources.
If you fancy a zombie movie with a bit of a twist, then Warm Bodies is worth a watch. I quite liked WWZ, but it was all a bit predictable. Definitely more of a fan of the shuffling, brain hungry zombie genre myself 🙂
World War Z was turd.
28 Weeks Later is a better film than 28 Days Later. Nowt happens in the first one, it's boring as hell.
Nothing would have happened in 28 weeks later if they hadn't put the yanks in charge.
I watched WWZ last weekend. It was OK but lost interest when the Zionist nonsense started.
the idea of the fast zombies is good
Zombies aren't fast!
Saw I Am Legend at the cinema - me and mrs nipper nearly had to leave at one point.
