The only zombie movie I've ever liked
358713
This is a zombie movie even for people like me that hate zombie movies. It can be a little gory at times, but it is *hysterically* funny. I've watched it over and over, and I still laugh out loud each time. Unlike "Shaun of the Dead", which is overrated in my opinion, this is a movie everyone can enjoy.

Loved it.

It's probably the best zombie movie ever made.

Seen it 6 times so far :)

This is one of the better zombie movies. What could have made it even better was more attention to either of the potential romantic couples: the black gang boy and his friends' sister or the young cop and the Hispanic gang leaders' girlfriend. More attention should have been given to either and one couple should have survived. The chemistry between the young cop and the Hispanic lady came to late in the movie. The chemistry between the black gangster and his friends' sister did not go anywhere. Blossoming love, even in a B-level zombie movie always adds to the quality. There was too much profanity. I love the fact that this zombie movie was in the "hood". I also liked the fact that the zombies looked more than like people with flour splashed on their face, but not their necks, and dark eye shadow painted on. The script was not the best, but this was one of the better zombie movies. I will definately watch this one again. With very little tweeking this one could have been a -4-. I hope the dead  will rise again, only with a little more romance and a little less profanity.

I don`t know how to star the movie is what you should do in the zombies movies. First the gore, the story, you jump from your seat for sure. I have the trilogy in dvd and this is the best of all of the movies and I think the movie left the road for a continue, I hope they make another more, Romero is the best director in this kind of movies.

As someone who started becoming a massive fan of zombie films in 1999....
I'm burned out on everything zombie way to much  saturation overall
When you have zombies selling smart phones, eye drops and KFC something is wrong!
It's no longer cool and underground it's mainstream and rotting away

As much as I'm sick of zombies and comic book adaptions
iZombie is a new animal  that is fresh and new there is nothing else like it on tv
Based of a Vertigo Comic (which i never heard of been out of the comic loop for a long time)
The guys who wrote this are smart they crafted a unique vision of the old tried and true "Who Done it Mystery" and added neat little tweaks

It's like Psych with a real  psychic that only gets visions by eating human brains
by eating the brains Liv takes the persons memories and characteristics and all that's new and fresh!

Once you watch the Pilot you either understand it and be in on the joke or you're just straight up dislike everything about this
The pilot throws out George R. Romero's name and Night of the Living Dead
Liv  is watching NOTLD on tv in the morgue
It also throws in the iconic  eating of brains made famous by Dan O'Bannon's Return of the Living Dead

The Cast is really good:
Rose McIver  as  Olivia 'Liv' Moore  (a little wacky for a name but, it grows on you and works for the overall series)  Never seen anything else she's been in but, this role impresses me more every week!
also the make-up and her overall look is very good!
 Malcolm Goodwin  as homicide detective Clive Babineaux  (Malcolm gets to play the hero cops which is cool mostly know him from A&E Breakout Kings) he's also very impressive in this role!
Rahul Kohli  as  Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti (plays Liv's Boss at the morgue like him to he fits with everyone else)
Robert Buckley  as  Major Lilywhite  (i think the actor is enjoyable to watch I hate the name though it's so terrible)
David Anders  as Blaine DeBeers  (great character actor who gets to shine in this series)
Aly Michalka  as Peyton Charles
Molly Hagan  as Liv's mother  Eva Moore
Steven Weber has this guest starring role as  Vaughn Du Clark the head of the Energy Drink Max Rager (The Max Rager Company is set up like Umbrella Corporation in the Resident Evil Games) It sounds silly but, it makes a lot of sense once you get into this series

This series needs a lot more attention on it (This is one of Network tv best kept secrets)
Season One is a massive epilogue to set up everything else
Even if you are burned out by the whole zombie fad give this series a chance it's different and doesn't try to copy everyone else
Why no Blu Ray of season one WB ????  9.5/10

Wow! I'm a little surprise with the negative reviews here. Myself and those I talked to thought it was a great film. One of the best of last year even.
I didn't notice the product placement, but then again it doesn't bother me too much. I'm not from the UK so maybe that's the ticket;)
I felt tense all through the film but there were segments where the camera shots allowed a little relief. The audience starts to get comfortable and BAMN in come infected humans! It was a great juxtaposition I thought. The camera was used well. In one scene a man is infected by getting a drop of blood in his eye and the use of the camera as the drop tragically dive-bombs tenses the audience once again, as we wait for what's to come.
It wasn't exclusively a zombie film (if anything I'd call it 'psuedo-zombie') but it definately commented on human nature, like that in "Night Of the Living Dead". Since previous zombie films have focused more on the evil of humans than the evil of zombies I thought it made perfect sense for this film to follow that lore with the whole 'world's gonna end' thing. It's a fair call that humans are self-destructive.
There weren't any dull moments in the film. I found myself interested in the characters enough to hear them out when there were the few talking scenes that were shown but the film was so fast paced I didn't feel bored or anything. Because the film is in movements I think it remains enjoyable. We have a man by himself, then he finds others, then they seek refuge...
Sometimes horror films make the mistake of keeping the film set in one place with one simple storyline for the entire film. I felt that this film allowed for some changes and exploration, while retaining its main themes of evil humans etc.
Unlike a lot of end-of-the-world films or horror films this is one that can be read-into. You can analyse the fact that the lead character 'evolves' physically and emotionally throughout the film, and you can analyse the church scene etc.
I thought the setting was great. For once the end of the world stuff wasn't filmed in the US. Without the lame patriarchy and with the more naturalistic settings this film was a relief to watch.
One warning, though, for those who feel icky easily there's projectile vomitting of blood so if you can't handle the dirtyness close your eyes.
I couldn't be happier with this film's release. It's something different on the market, but also stretches its roots to past horror films. I don't think I've seen a more original film that tackles the end of the world idea.
I'm going to add that the film was heaps underrated here in Australia (most people never heard of it) and I had no expectations of what the film would be like. I saw a poster and a friend told me it was an end of the world film where people got infected with rage. I didn't see any trailers and felt pretty confronted at the messy start. It was confusing but was meant to be so I got on board pretty quick on what kind of film I'd be watching, thanks to the intro.

Great Zombie movie, great comedy.  Hindsight is always 20/20, but if I had to go back in time I would have skipped the Dawn of the Dead remake and just watched this one.  It manages to keep some of the thematic elements of the Romero trilogy while adding a bit of smart humor.  Zombification in this film has a physiological reason (which is hidden thanks to some well-timed channel-flipping) but on a subtle note zombification is a result of everyday routine -- societal norms that are pushed upon us and to which we conform.  The "zombie" by itself is slow, dumb, predictable and thus easy to kill.  They are only dangerous in large groups.  The same is true with any ideal to which one is tempted to conform.  One person usually cannot sway another individual, but a massive number of people doing one thing or thinking one thing may easily convince the nonconforming individual.  The so-called "Dawn of the Dead remake" completely misses this element of the zombie ethos by making fast zombies.  Shaun of the Dead, on the other hand, delivers on all levels: theme, gore, action and plot.  This is a wonderful British homage to Romero that just happens to be pretty funny.

As for the DVD, the commentaries and interviews are some of the best out there.  The DVD is almost worth buying for the extras alone.  It is always fun when the director and/or writer is willing to open himself as such to the viewer.

I laughed a ton during this movie.  Its the only zombie movie I've stumbled across set in a classical setting and done for comedy, with wonderfully awkward characters, idiotically believable scenarios, and a fun take on how Americans would handle zombies if the apocalypse was avoided but the undead are a regular part of life. One worth multiple views.

"Zombie Hunter" is an absolutely ridiculous film. That's not meant to be a putdown in this case. If it were anything but ridiculous, it just wouldn't work. It's what makes the movie watchable and gives it such an entertaining air.

After a zombie apocalypse, a loner (Martin Copping) with nothing left to lose drives cross-country taking out the walking dead whenever he crosses paths with them. After a car crash, he's brought to a remote refuge of survivors. He soon finds himself leading the misfits as they flee for their lives when the flesh-eaters discover their hideaway.

What could have easily been lost in a never-ending sea of movies centered on the walking dead rises above thanks to an obvious influence taken from Japanese films like "Mutant Girl Squad," "Helldriver," and "Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl." All the hyper-tense action sequences, vivid colors, and ultra-violence found in those are mimicked here to mostly successful results.

If what you're looking for is the realism of "Night of the Living Dead" or "The Walking Dead," don't gaze in the direction of "Zombie Hunters." There's tons of gore and beheadings, but everything's done in an extremely animated and tongue-in-cheek manner. Instead of the dark crimson colors audiences expect when zombies are butchered and bludgeoned, blood flows in ultraviolet hues of pink and purple here. Just like the Japanese films this movie is influenced by, the brightly colored blood splatters across the screen as the zombies are sliced and diced.

The special effects for "Zombie Hunters" are also intentionally cartoon-like. Somehow they fit in with the absurdity of the rest of the movie. You can tell filmmakers deliberately used certain CGI and practical effects which transition in appearance from fake to realistic. It's evident because the quality shifts from scene to scene.

For instance, the film will go from a scene of zombie monsters which look like Ray Harryhausen models to a sequence of a person getting a chainsaw drilled through their stomach with lifelike blood pouring forth. The next scene features a zombie getting his head cut off as purple day-glo gore sprays out of it all over the camera lens.

Although "Zombie Hunter" is not yet rated by the MPAA, I would consider it to be an "R." There's no nudity, but plenty of sensuality. As an example, one of the woman survivors performs an unnecessary pole-dancing routine. There's a ton of gore and violence, even though most of it does come across as rather cartoonish. Plenty of bad language is uttered as well.

"Zombie Hunter" is presented in 16:9 widescreen with 5.1 HD surround sound. The picture quality brings out all the vibrant colors of the gore spewing forth onto the camera lens. The audio engulfs the viewer in gunshots, the moans of zombies, and other apocalyptic noises.

If you're a fan of the excessively gory and irreverently silly films of Yoshihiro Nishimura, then you'll no doubt enjoy "Zombie Hunter." Just don't watch the movie expecting Academy Award-winning performances or the serious atmosphere of George A. Romero or Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic worlds. While nowhere near as good as the Japanese films it attempts to imitate, I have to give director Kevin King at least a B for effort.

When you throw zombies in front of a camera, it's a recipe for success.  When you throw in the fact you already have a premise that was outstanding back in 1979 and you can't lose, right?

Well, actually, you really can, kinda.

I figured I'd give this a shot even though I loathe the fact everything seems to be a remake these days.  The selling point was that John Carpenter's 'The Thing' was essentially a remake and that was one of my all time favorites.

The first half of 'Dawn" works pretty well.  Despite the fact that I'm not sure that the Director of Photography brought any lighting for any of the interior shots and they stole the leftover zombies from '28 Days Later' (they are shot the same, act the same, sound the same, look the same, and have that hirky-jerky MTV shaky camera thing going for them), it moves pretty well and it manages to give you a jump even when you're expecting something to happen.  Not to mention the outstanding car-makes-impact-with zombie and zombie-gets-nailed-in-the-head-by-weapon thing.  very good.

Bring a animal into a film and it's a recipe for disaster.  This film takes a turn for the worse when the Collie shows up.  When one of the characters chases after a dog she just met eleven hours beforehand because she thinks it might be hurt by, I don't know, the 1100 zombies outside...it triggers a series of bad decisions by the characters.  So many bad decisions that not even the weapon-to-head thing can save it.

It's another tragic girl chases after stray dog-group chases after girl chasing stray dog story, really.  Very sad.  Even the explosions started getting annoying.  each one looked like there was at least 20 more pounds of C-4 to them.  These Regular Joe's become demolition experts all of a sudden.

I can look past that a little bit because people in Wisconsin, regardless of employment, know a lot about weapons.  People catch carp there just to nail them to trees.  That's a true story.

Too many bad mistakes and cliches toward the ending of this film to recommend purchasing it.  The funniest thing about the entire production are these 'islands' they're traveling to on Lake Michigan.  Islands that look like they have limestone cliffs.  The kind you find in Thailand.  The Crew must have forgotten this was supposed to take place in Wisconsin, I guess.  You can see palm trees in the background during the last sequence.

The BEST Zombie Movie of ALL TIME!
I Love it & Watch it all the time.
I have given away so many copies of this Movie because when I Loan them out, they never come back!

Lets just start the review here.
These monkeys in a research lab are being tested and some animal activists break in. The researcher warns them but they let the monkeys out anyway. Then the movie starts with a guy naked. Kinda weird, but alright. Anyways, the creepiness starts when noone is around except him. We know why, he doesn't.
Anyways, once Jim meets the other 2 survivors, they go to this house. The house lets Jim remember things, and then BOOYAKA the jump point comes. Yea, you probably will jump because the sound kicks up alot when this zombie comes! Thats it. The movie had a great thing going. I was getting ready to jump whenever I saw bodies and such, but never. The movie could of had you jumping at every turn, but it doesn't.
The characters are nice, but again... This movie isn't scary at all. I jumped once at the beggining. We basically see these few people travel far to a military compound where these soldiers are apparently saying. Of course, the main character kicks some ...(against 1 zombie in the whole film and like 10 guys), but its almost as if the director forgot about the zombies, because they become useless. I am going to be honest... You will probably completely forget about the zombies and such about 30 minutes into this 1 hour 40 minute film, and you should. Theres like 1 or 2 zombies after that. Honestly, it turns into an action movie. Mostly because Jim kills these guys, and doesn't care about the zombies as you will see(neither will you).
There is no vicious killer, and the movie isn't scary. I hate to say it, but the alternate endings are worthless. I watched 2 of them(there are like 3) and I was done. They are retarted. Then there is the actual ending. The movie basically starts creepy, then for about 45 minutes(im not exaggerating) you will witness no zombies(except a little mob of them but you know they are coming a mile away) but they won't matter. Honestly, the movie has you kinda creeped for 15 minutes, then it's 45 minutes of no action except shopping in a supermarket and replacing a tire.... Not scary, and if this movie won so many awards in another country, I don't know what kind of movies they are watching over there.

Zombie Type: Both slow-walking and fast-running undead

Outbreak/Apocalypse Phase: Post-outbreak apocalypse (outbreak has already occurred, characters are living through the zombie apocalypse)

Sub-Genre: Romantic Comedy (rom-zom-com)

This is the kind of movie that really freshens up an entire genre.  I wish I could talk more about the story, but I try to either leave these posts fairly spoiler-free or at least warn readers when Im about to spill some of the beans (brains?).
Warm Bodies is based on the Isaac Marion novel of the same name and centers around the relationship between R (a male zombie) and Julie (a female living human).  Seeing as how Ive already classified this as a romantic comedy, I think you can tell roughly where the story goes.  I enjoyed the relationship between the odd pairing, and the awkwardness that ensues when a girl catches a zombies fancy unsurprisingly leads to some funny moments.

What truly makes the story unique by zombie standards is MILD SPOILERS it is basically a retelling of Romeo and Juliet.  R is Romeo, J is Juliet, M is Mercutio, Perry is Paris, Julies dad hates all of zombie-kind, etc.  There are several scenes that reference Shakespeares classic, but Ill leave that for you guys to discover yourselves.  END SPOILERS

This movie was a huge pleasant surprise.  I expected it to be cheesy but decent enough to watch.  Instead, I found myself regarding this as probably one of my top ten favorite zombie films of all time.  The uniqueness of the story is only half of what makes it good; the other half is simply the fact that this is a solid, enjoyable movie.

Isaac Marion announced in 2012 that he is writing a sequel to the novel Warm Bodies.  Whether it is also adapted to the cinema screen remains to be seen, but I eagerly await the chance to watch the further evolution of his story.

Final Verdict: highly recommended not only for zombie fans, but also for anyone else looking for a good movie thats different than the usual undead fare.  Very unique zombie film!

Die You Zombie Bastards! (Caleb Emerson, 2005)

One of the late Jamie Gillis' attempts to break into the mainstream came with Night of the Zombies in 1981. It is such an unrelentingly bad movie that I find it amazing anyone ever cast him in another one. And yet, Gillis' final film role is, yes, in a zombie movie. I grant you, it's a zombedy, which is a much better fit for Gillis than the hardboiled-detective-horror-flick that was Night of the Zombies, but still, you gotta wonder. At least, you gotta wonder until you start looking farther into the cast list.

Die You Zombie Bastards! is the third installment in the ongoing tale of Red (Tim Gerstmar), a serial killer, and his lovely wife Violet (Pippi Zornoza). In this installment, an evil genius, Baron Nefarious (Geoff Mosher, who previously worked with Emerson on Toxic Avenger IV), is raising an army of the undead to do his bidding. Nefarious falls in love with Violet and kidnaps her, sending Red on a globe-trotting trip to hunt her down before Nefarious can recruit her into his army of zombies.

Now, let's get this straight: if you don't like bad movies, you need to avoid this like the plague. I mean, come on, Red wears a superhero outfit made of human skin (with added red long johns and a pair of yellow waders). Hasil Adkins makes an appearance as himself. (He died not long after filming completed, and the movie is dedicated to him.) Red finds himself in a Swedish village containing no men. Lloyd Kaufman hosts a game show called "Swap Mate". You know what you're getting into before you even start. Or you should, anyway. This is not classic cinema by any means. But surprisingly, it's actually pretty funny; the script, from Emerson and Haig Demarjian, has some solid comic timing, and while you might feel guilty laughing at some of the jokes, they'll still raise a chuckle. Surprisingly, not released by Troma (Image Entertainment nabbed this one), and with the exception of Poultrygeist, is better than anything Troma's done in decades. Check it out if you're looking for a stupid way to kill a few hours. **

I paid about $7 for this movie used at Blockbuster. I traded it to a guy at the flea market as fast as I could after watching it. This movie is as mindless as the zombies in it. We all know that a good zombie movie can be so thrilling and scary. The best of the movies created a cult following and turned it all into a zombie genre. A movie like this could end up halting production of other zombie movies. I hope I never see another movie with someone carrying around a camera documenting action. These movies do nothing for me at all.

All of those halves add up to so much of a total movie viewing experience, it is incredible. If you enjoy snarky drunk video game playing slacker humor, this is for you. If you like to see parallels between "zombie-like" activity (from everyone using cellphones and wearing business suits, to all those skaters wearing hoodies and bouncing in step to their portable cd-players) and actual zombie activity, it's for you. If you love great dialogue almost always with a touch of humor, and can wait for set-up in the beginning of the film to establish real character relationships before they start kickin' some serious zombie ass--I repeat, this is for you. I absolutely love this film and it's main characters, there are some hard sad scenes but since they are mixed with gore, it's harder to get too depressed over them...

But all in all, go see this movie!! I don't want to ruin it for you. ^__^

First of all, this is a movie published by the horror magazine Fangoria, and the copy I've seen does NOT have spanish subtitles. I'm not sure why Amazon has this. Also, the full title is I,Zombie: The Chronicles of Pain. I first saw this movie on accident; I had meant to rent Zombie, but instead gotten I, Zombie. Of course Blockbuster screws up once more. Anyway, what I saw wasn't a huge dissapointment. This movie isn't your typical horror movie; yes, it has the hideous gore and blood, but the way it's set up is entirely different. It's the story of a man who goes walkig through a forest and gets  bitten by a woman. The movie follows his slow transformation into a zombie. While he is changing, he can still think human thoughts and restrain himself from eating human flesh. Slowly he dissolves into a zombie. The concept is interesting, but it doesnt fully work. The movie is obviously meant to be disturbing, but occasionaly one just laughs. For one, the music is very corny and silly. Weird keyboards and guitars in the worst possible parts of the movie. Did you ever expect to see someone's ribcage being torn open while semi-happy keyboards play? Also, when a movie features a masturbating zombie....i mean c'mon, do they expect that to scare people? Overall, the movie is good, but doesn't live up to its expectations. Under the hands of a good director, it could have been excellent. Sadly, it looks and feels like a director who's still in college taking math courses.
