STILL waiting for the first original zombie movie


I know they tried to make this original, by giving the zombies some semblance of intelligence and the ability to work as a group, but essentially, this is the SAME old zombie movie done for the millionth time. Humans try to survive the wild zombie mobs while crazy zombies try to eat them.
Man, what a tired tired genre.

Arent zombies the dead come back to life? I guess I missed the part where everyone died then instantly came back to life.
Theres a ...subtle... I guess too subtle for some...difference between a zombie movie and an outbreak movie.

They are not zombies. They are what happened to the human brain after it is wiped leaving only insanity left. They then start to evolve into more (explains more in the book). So trying to compare this to other zombie movies is a pointless activity.

The danny boyle argument...in fact they should have called this 28 gigs later...or something

Love your explanation except they acted almost exactly like any other Zombie out there.

I know exactly what you mean, and forget these fools who care about whether or not the zombies have a pulse.

That would be the first zombie movie.
I'm sure you could look it up.

I think you missed the boat, son. This is NOT a "Zombie Movie"

I saw pontypool a few years ago which used language as the carrier of the zombie virus and was an interesting take
