Zombie Fest

[Damini]

Looks like Zombie movies are back on the menu. Resident Evil: Apocalypse is on its way, as is (and this is the one I'm really looking forward to) the re-making of Dawn of the Dead. Another incoming zombie flick is House of the Dead

Why is there a constant need for remakes!!!! Leave Dawn of the Dead alone ffs!

... I have spoken ...

... having said that zombie films rock - Night of the Living Dead (original) is a fantastic film.

I don't know, I think the remake looks like it should be cool. Mind you, I haven't seen the original. One of the few zombie films I haven't actually seen.

Dawn of the Dead, is that the one with the scientists, underground bunker etc?

 

[Damini]

Nope, that's the one with Bub (?) the friendly ex Nam zombie.

This is the one in the shopping mall.

 

[Cdr]

ahh right, suppose I should watch the trailer before I ask such questions

Not seen the original either.

I love Dawn of the Dead - never realised a re-make was coming.

I think it's what anyone would do faced with killer zombies roaming around - head off to the local ferrari dealership then of to a shopping mall - like in the film if I could fly a helicopter I'd steal one of them to

I love Day of the Dead too

 

[Summo]

Don't forget Shaun Of The Dead!

Now that sounds like a class film.

Once I was toying with setting up a rent a zombie attack firm, you know like kissagrams, but with a taste for brains. Just thought it would be cool if you could rent an attack for a party, suddenly have loads of dead people surround your grans golden wedding anniversary or similar, trying to climb in the windows, gathering at the doors and making "Gnrheeeergh!" noises.

I have a dream people...

Well since the remake is nigh on completed ... all I can say is I hope they have recreated the sequence where the zombie walks over an obstacle and gets parts of his head removed by helicopter blades.

Tampering with one of the best films of all time.. a good idea?

Hmm.. I love the trilogy (DVD Boxset out now folks), worth every penny.

 

[Meatballs]

The thing about zombie/plague apocalypse type movies, is I always want to see what kind of civilization they would rebuild afterwards, but it always ends with them just surviving :\ Kinda need a tv series i guess

 

[ECA]

graaaghhhhhhhhhhhh.

I have the living dead boxset.

House of the dead is one of the BEST video games of all times :-]


Remember spending a couple of quid completing it in the arcades with a friend, quality times :-]

Shame its going to be hollywood shite.

Watched a film called 'Undead' the other day, australian film, really cool.

Lots of blood and totally over the top acting, class
