Dance of the Dead (2008)
Goes to show; Long Live Rock and Roll
This movie was an awesomely fun film. For those that complain about the "inconsistencies" read here: This is NOT a serious film. It's meant to be fun, and does a great job of that. I can't fathom why anyone would have a problem with Rock'N'Roll being used to hold the zombies off. This is called DANCE of the DEAD. What would the movie have been about if they couldn't use music as a weapon? Despite the nods to other great zombie films, Dance of the Dead kept the whole thing interesting, and feeling original. The Zombie make-out scene in the bathroom was both gross and amazing. How come whenever somebody tries NOT to make a Night of the Living Dead remake, everyone complains? Night of the Living Dead is the greatest Zombie movie of all time, but it is not the only Zombie movie, or even the first zombie movie. I want to see what other people come up with when they use Zombies as an enemy. As long as the creature in question has a hankering for flesh or brains, I don't care if they suddenly know how to fly. Please people, stop trying to nitpick movies to death. If you can't just sit there and enjoy the experience, at least for the first time through, then maybe you should give up watching movies. BRAINS... Now I'm hungry.
Automaton Transfusion (2006)
A great movie all the way around.
This movie was a blast to watch, and felt different from other low-budget movies. For one thing, you could tell that the people in it were having fun making it. They weren't looking to be the next big thing. They just wanted to make a good, fun, zombie movie. The problem with a lot of movies today, is that people have become jaded. Everyone is a critic, and everyone believes that critics can only be negative. (Which is fairly true) I've seen quite a few dud zombie movie that get high marks just because of some silly mechanic, or some deeper message. For instance, Redneck Zombies got fairly positive reviews just because it was from Troya. I couldn't stand that move, and quit watching after 20 minutes. For a first effort, Automaton Transfusion was awesome. The acting, while not exactly "blockbuster" was better than a lot of SyFy movies. And when the end of the film comes, leaving you hanging as to the fate of our heroes, it only makes you wish they would get the next one done. If everyone is going to complain about the next Hollywood remake, or the next Hasbro cash-in, then they should try to see the good in those movies and companies that are making original titles. I for one would have rather seen the sequel to this movie in place of the abysmal "Clash of the Titans" remake.
Redneck Zombies (1989)
watch this, and your brain will turn to liquid.
I wish I could give this one a zero. It didn't even get the whole so bad its good thing going. No, its not the actors that suck (which they do) or the filmography that suck (which it does), the main thing was how they pulled all these things together into the worst viewing experience of my life. The film had so much potential too, i mean come on, Redneck + Zombies should equal = really funny time. The parts that really made me wish for new eyes were the parts where for no reason, the film went all screwy, and the sound was dragged out until your ears bled. I finally was able to finish it, just for writing this review, and I've come to a conclusion. Troma films should be used for torture. I guarantee that any terrorist will talk if you promise just to turn it off. If you wish to save your brain from the worst headache imaginable, DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!
Plane Dead (2007)
this one was pretty good.
If you like zombies, and are reeling from such disasters as Zombie Nation and Redneck Zombie (Which I was) than watch this one. Why haven't there been a Zombies on a plane movie before? The idea is sound, if the world were being infected, than planes wouldn't be safe either. While the ending was fairly tidy, it left itself partially open to a sequel, and with the unique tone taken in this, I am hoping the team decides to make a Zombies Ate My Neighbors film. They got the right stuff to pull it off. Solid Acting, solid music, good lighting, and clever scenes. While not exactly shoulder-to-shoulder with Dawn of the Dead, it is still a good movie. Please watch this one. You will be surprised on how well it delivers.
Zombie Nation (2004)
well, not the worst zombie flick i've seen, but really close.
As the worlds number one zombie movie fan, I have to say that this film is awful. I agree with thethirteenthman on everything EXCEPT one thing. this is not the worst I've seen. I could actually watch this one all the way through. One that I couldn't even finish, for reasons of preserving sanity, is the movie Redneck Zombie. So, I guess if you want to make Zombie Nation seem good, you should attempt to watch Redneck Zombie first. After only 15 mins of that one, I had to switch it off, and really consider if I thought the world was still real. After confirming that it was, i turned to Zombie nation, hoping to regain hope for the Zombie Flick. Alas it was not to be. I had hoped that the movie would be based on the NES game of the same name, but it had nothing to do with floating samurai heads. SAVE YOUR LOVE OF ZOMBIES!!! DO NOT WATCH THIS OR REDNECK ZOMBIE!! Now, if you want a reasonably good flick, with reasonably talented actors in it, go and rent the movie Flight of the Living Dead. Now that is good zombie action.
