Hey look...a remotely horror related thread....weird!

Ok, so I just got the original Dawn of the Dead on dvd, I'm glad to say I now own the entire original "dead" trilogy.
All pretty good films IMO, although I wasn't that much into "day"...

Anyway, I've seen a few zombie films in my time, among my favourites are NOTLD, Shaun of the dead, and Versus...all for different reasons.
Now, myself and my chick usually buy pretty much 75%+ bootleg dvds, not crappy cinema cam ones, actual retail rips (good supplier)...but we tend to buy the official copies of the films we really like.
Then I got NOTLD and Day, and eventually Dawn, all officials...so, we both like zombie films, so we decided to get a huge collection of official zombie movie dvds going...at this point we've only just started, apart from 3-4 bootleg movies, we have the dead trilogy, I got a UK version Shaun of the Dead through ebay, we have the dawn of the dead remake, and yes, I own resident evil...I just like seeing zombies get blasted...is that wrong?
I hear the colour remake of NOTLD is pretty damn good, so that's next on my list...If it's even ON dvd.., and another one I REALLY want to see is Cemetary Man (?Dellamorte dellamore/Dead Love?), and zombie holocaust looks interesting too, I've also heard Near Dark might be worth a look?

Ok, so I want some advice from any of you guys that actually talk about horror here...as I said, I wanna get a collection goin' on...
I'm not just talking about US/UK films either, if it's a good zombie film, in ANY respect, I wanna hear about it, no matter WHERE it's from.
Please hit me with some reccomendations with brief descriptions.
Thanks.

- B.

Cemetary Man is top notch

Horror related? Yes. I will give you that.

Interesting? People would care about this as much as they would give a fuck about the weather on the moon.

Urgeok, you're right, near dark - I must have got the title mixed up...the film I'm referring to is about some dude who comes home from a war, but he's a zombie but pple just think he's shell shocked? I'm sure it had Dark in the title?!?
Yes, just zombie films...^my mistake^.
I will watch Day again, perhaps it'll grow on me too...if not, hey - I'm sure it's not for everyone.
Please go on, and some info on these films would be good too.
Thanks.


As for you haphazard, If you're not interested...don't post.
Never said it was INTERESTING anyway, did I? You can go on posting about whatever it is you post about now...

O man zombie movies are my favorite movies. Why didnt you like "Day", I think its the greatest zombie movie ever concieved.
And which "Dawn" DVD did you get. The big expensive one or the Anchor Bay/Divimax one?(which i watched at 7 a.m.) And yes there is a new color version of NOTLD now on DVD, I also suggest getting the Tom Savini NOTLD DVD also, its really great. Anyways yeah, other good zombie flicks which i have in my collection, which i suggest picking up are Zombie Flesh Eaters(Zombie), The House by the Cemetary(i concider it a zombie movie, its like a zombie killer guy.), Return of the Living Dead and City of the Living Dead. There all kick ass.

IDYB, I don't really know why I didn't much like Day...I mean, I found it entertaining and all, and I liked the conflict going on between the humans...I honestly can't put my finger on it - just something I didn't enjoy as much? I'll rewatch in a few months and see if urgeok is right about it.
NOTLD...so there's 2 remakes? I know there was the original redone with colour on top of it, and then an actual remake, but there was another?? Info please.
The one you mentioned called Zombie, is that the one by the italian dude?? I'm not sure, but I think it had a sequel? I've often wanted to look at that one...
City of the living dead? Tell me about it?


Cool, I'll check it out shanks...and probably come in to ask questions n shit about those that I've not yet seen.

Well, that is my normal procedure when I am not too interested in a thread. However, when someone decides to talk shit to me out of the blue for no reason...then I feel compelled to do the same.

Period.
