What are some good zombie movies out there?

Question

I like Shaun of the Dead, Resident evil, Dawn of the Dead, Land of the dead, night of the living dead, and 28 Days Later, what are some other good zombie movies?

Answer 1

...thought you might be tired of all those regular, generic and run-of-the-mill zombie grind entries, which Hollywood seems to stamping out, with absolute assembly-line, cookie-cutter precision...

...you might want to definitely give THESE very underappreciated, unconventional and independent productions a try; they have garnished most a respectable reputation...and an ever-growing cult following, especially from those seeking other than the basic, high-polish tinsel-town dreck...

"Shatter Dead" (1994)

Director Scooter McCrae turns the zombie genre on its head in this groundbreaking (and oh-so wholly grim) horror film. The Angel of Death has descended to Earth, and upon impregnating a mortal woman the dead cease to die. Tormented at being stuck in a twilight zone between life and death, the undead attempt to return to their normal lives and reconnect with the ones they loved while living. As the clash between the terrified living and the mournful dead elevates into an all out war, a mortal woman named Susan (Stark Raven) attempts to reconnect with her undead boyfriend and find some sanity in a world that is falling apart.

"The Dead Next Door" (1988)

The feature debut of ultra-low-budget horror auteur J.R. Bookwalter, this fast-paced zombie mini-epic is very likely the most expensive movie ever shot on Super-8 film. Playing with the long-established mythos of George A. Romero's Living Dead trilogy, The Dead Next Door was produced with the help of many of the "Evil Dead" crew: financial backer Sam Raimi is credited as "Master Cylinder" and one of the characters is named after him; Evil Dead co-writer Scott Spiegel plays a role; and some character voices are dubbed by Bruce Campbell. The story centers on the members of the "Zombie Squad" -- an assault team trained in the hunting and extermination of the living dead -- and their mission to track down the scientists who developed a zombie-making virus and find the rumored antidote. Of the many lethal obstacles in their path, the deadliest comes in the form of a religious cult whose leader sees the zombie epidemic as a precursor of Armageddon -- and is hell-bent on expediting it. Very stylish for what is essentially an epic-scale home movie (and gushing with plentiful home-style gore effects), this remains Bookwalter's best effort and contains numerous witty homages to the Romero films which inspired it.

"Meat Market" (2000)

When two former employees of a company, which conducts bizarre medical experiments, put two and two together, they realize that a series of "animal attacks" reported by the media are actually the work of flesh-eating zombies created by the company. As the city becomes engulfed by the walking dead, the two truth-seekers team up with three lesbian vampire women, a crazed & washed-up Mexican wrestler, a wounded soldier, and a mysterious scientist in order to fight for their lives. This low-budget horror/gore/comedy has garnered an underground following for its relentless energy and stomach-churning special effects.

"Bone Sickness" (2004)

Alex (Rich George) is suffering from a mysterious and incurable disease that is turning him into a worm infested ghoul. His wife, Kristen (Darya Zabinski), solicits the help of Alexs friend Thomas (Brian Paulin) to help find a cure. Thomas works in a morgue and decides to utilize the bones of the dead as an alternative medicine. The unusual medicine works and Alex begins to make a recovery. The dead, however, dont like having their bones abused and they rise from their graves to reclaim their missing parts and exact revenge upon the living.

"Stacy" (2001)

This 2001 J-Horror effort from director Naoyuki Tomomatsu is set in a future dystopia where teenaged girls begin dying for no apparent reason -- and often in an elated, chronically happy state of mind. One of these girls, Stacy, is back from the dead, however, and she's ready to gorge herself on human flesh. As more and more teenage-girl zombies begin to feast on the living, the people of Japan brace themselves and try to find a way to end the madness.

"Junk" (2000)

This most unconventional undead swaree will definatly satisfy all adrenaline junkies and horror aficionados that are looking for a good dose of spills and chills. A gang of thieves are on the run after a successful heist. They make a deal with the local yakuza to sell their stolen jewels at an abandoned army base. Little do they know the government has been experimenting on the dead. The dead rise and it's an all out war between the thieves, yakuza and the army, in a desperate attempt to not only stop the zombies but to stay alive.

Answer 2

Have to agree with Dead and Deader. Others include: Undead, Zombie Honeymoon, Night of the Living Dorks (hilarious German zombie movie), All Souls Day, Dead and Breakfast, House of the Dead 1 & 2, Return of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead 3 (Not sure if that is the exact title, but involves a hot goth/alternative girl doing self piercings to try to fight the brain hunger).

Answer 3

have you seen day of the dead (1985), the dead next door, zombie, zombie 3, zombie 4, resident evil extinction (gonna come out soon) day of the dead (2007) and 28 weeks later (also gonna come out soon on dvd)

you also might want to see bone sickness some say that zombie movie rivals day of the dead in gore which i think it does actually i think this one has more gore

also try zombie 90 extreme pestilence it basically has no plot but it does include extreme gore maybe more than both day of the dead and bone sickness

Answer 4

Well you skipped right over Day of The Dead in your George Romero tribute. That's a really good one. I heard weird things about Zombie. What you should do is go to IMDB.com and use key search word: zombie.

You'll get every movie ever made about Zombies.
