Zombie Films: Which Are Your 10 Favorite? (New Voting Poll)

i can't understand the near-universal disdain for zombie lake. i love that movie.
that being said, my absolute favorite zombie flick is fulci's the beyond. i've seen it dozens of times and it still blows my mind and i'm not even sure why. the effects are weak in a lot of scenes, and the plot is all but non-existant, but it just conjures up the perfect atmosphere of dread.
but yeah, i'm definitely a fan of the euro zombie movies.

I voted for Undead, mainly cause of the four shotgun contraption and the autoclub scene..

I really enjoy that movie.. may have to watch it again tonight..

Yea, I kinda liked ZOMBIE LAKE and OASIS OF ZOMBIES. Not sure what all the fuss is about.

"Zombie Lake" is a lot of fun, but "Oasis of the Zombies" is so slow and uneventful as to make a person cry. I mean, look at the prior film. You have girls going for a skinny dip the lake/pool and a whole sub-plot with the one good zombie whose daughter (daughter, right?) is in peril. There was also a zombie knife fight if memory serves. Just how deadly is it for zombies to stab each other with knives?

I kinda like OASIS OF ZOMBIES because of the fathers kid who decides to go to North Africa and find the Nazi Gold with his band of friends. Kinda humored me. Then you have your Zombies to top it off.

CHUD counts as a zombie flick? they were mutants, munched on humans yes, but mutants all the same. i think CHUD 2 qualifies more of a zombie flick. my vote goes to Braindead/Deadalive.

i can't handle "oasis of the zombies." and i'm not saying that "zombie lake" is good, it's just not as god-awful as most people seem to think.

That's the impression I get of the Euro zombie flicks, very moody. Zombi 2 I don't really get into all that comes to mind is the Shark, the eye gouging and a very creepy atmosphere.

The Corpse Eaters (1974)
not cause it was any good
in fact other then the zombie attack it is damn near unwatchable
but cause it was filmed in my hometown, in the graveyard by my house, where I spend a lot of time as a younging

Thorn Is · January 31, 2007, 12:28:08 AM

I voted for reanimator though

I can't decide on this one. I picked Shaun, simply because I absolutely love it, and I could whatch it over and over at any time. But there are too many here. And then we have a lot of classics. Reanimator, Romero's movies, Bad Taste. White Zombie is a great movie, and one of the only true zombie movies on here.

I disliked Oasis of the Zombies, but I would enjoy seeing (or making) a remake of it. It's got a great premise. Just throw more adveture into the mix, more competition between the groups searching for the treasure, maybe a little more of the dangers of the desert... I don't know... As long as it doesn't move so damn slow or come out looking too much like the Stephen Sommers Mummy movies, it should be good. And they would have to use the title Treasure of the Living Dead.

Been thinking maybe this Zombie post should allow our 5 top favorites. So you can all vote for your top 5 Zombie films. What do you think?

Scott · March 07, 2007, 10:37:45 AM

The DAWN OF THE DEAD remake is one of the best fore sure. Welcome to the forum divx712.

I will say with out a doubt, "Zombie 4" and "Demons" both kicked a$$. However, "Demons" was about demons, not Zombies. Speaking of "Demons", has anyone seen "The Church"? This is "Demons 3". Very good movie, I still regret selling it.
