YEK Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 yeah i agree, though i would never pass up a zombie movie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneToThirtySix Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 A spectacularly enormous swarm of slow zombies makes for a sense of defeat barring a tactical advantage. Fast zombies make for better drama. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sprigg Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 28 Days Later is probably my favorite zombie movie of all time. Fast zombies have always seemed to much more brutal and intense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Dawn of the Dead (original) and Dead Alive (or braindead to non americans) are still probably my favorites. Shaun of the Dead is probably the best modern zombie movie to come out in recent memory. so i guess i prefer slow zombies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublename Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Fast zombies generally. Is [rec] considered a zombie movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Slow zombies make for a better ambient kinda flick. Fast zombie, as was stated, make for better drama. IMO 70's European zombie flicks are the best. I can't remember the names of all my favorite ones, though, been so long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 slow zombie lover. recommend dawn of the dead, day of the dead, not land of the dead. john leguizamo assed it all up. i also really like this short story (Are You There God? It's Me. Also, a Bunch of Zombies.) from an online lit magazine I used to submit to (they never picked my stories, boo hiss). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambermonk Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Maybe it's because of my experience from playing the Left 4 Dead games, but I find the faster zomzombs to be more fascinating. They're automatically a greater threat if they can dash towards you.Movie-wise, the 2004 Dawn of the Dead is hard to beat for me, though I enjoyed Shaun of the Dead as well.

YEK Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 i think i prefer the new day of the dead to the new dawn of the dead. it's just more fun and more going on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 What zombie movie also has a trans love relationship, flaming motorcycles, a villain who wears white hot pants, and a system of ethics based on rock 'n roll? Oh right, WILD ZERO, the best zombie movie ever. It falls on the slow zombie side, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlitze Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I like zombie's to be slower, best example is in Lucio Fulci's ''Zombie'' when the zombie is swimming around with a very docile shark and the zombie bites a chunk out of it. Very passive aggressive scene, and I believe the firse to show that zombies had the skill to scuba dive. Best example of fast zombies were the Ring Wraiths in LOTR.

AJW Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Slow, shambling decomposing Zombies ftw. This. And furthermore the (slow)jumping zombies of Mr. Vampire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wiGkCtTEQI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The Walking Dead seems to offer slow and fast zombies - they were hinting at possible reasons for differences in them but having not *yet* watched season 3 I don't know if any zombie origin / variant questions have been answered. I once played a Zombie role playing game with a bunch of chaps from Uni but I can't remember what its called now. That had all types of zombie variants involved. Dead World or something along those lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abusivegeorge Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 As said above Braindead is a favourite of mine. My all time favourite Zombie movie though is definitely the original Dawn of the Dead, two hours of shopping mall hilarious antics? Doesn't get beaten.

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Talking zombies, midget zombies, tar man zombies, punk zombies, nuclear blasts, hysterical acting, rabid weasels, genius dialog, great soundtrack and score (808's all over the place), sequels that get more and more absurd as they go on (with the same actors who died in the previous films). All I need, forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-Isymffcb8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yeah, that movie is so creepy. That black sludge zombie, and the claustrophobic part where they get stuck in a crawl space. Man. Lol, I didn't know the cramps did a track for the soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RadarJammer Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think fresh zombies should be fast and get slower as they deteriorate. has any zombie movies taken that approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think fresh zombies should be fast and get slower as they deteriorate. has any zombie movies taken that approach? Or what if fresh zombies were slow and easy to kill, but got faster and more cunning as death's grip on them solidified?? WOAH.GIF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
