- DirectorTom SaviniStarsTony ToddPatricia TallmanTom TowlesWhen the unburied dead return to life and seek human victims, seven refugees shelter in a house in the Pennsylvanian countryside.Interesting Remake of the 1968 George Romero classic. A little light on the gore but Patricia Tallman's performance as Barbara is a much more layered strong heroine to root for.
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsMilla JovovichMichelle RodriguezRyan McCluskeyA special military unit fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures after a laboratory accident.Based off the Capcom video games, this is the first entry into the movie adaptations. It is also perhaps the most horror oriented whereas the sequels became like a mix between aliens and tomb raider. The zombies here are quite menacing and are at the forefront this time.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsJohn LeguizamoAsia ArgentoSimon BakerThe living dead have taken over the world, and the last humans live in a walled city to protect themselves as they come to grips with the situation.wasn't quite the epic return i had hoped for, but features a heavy dose of blood/guts and that's a winner in my book :)
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsTisa FarrowIan McCullochRichard JohnsonStrangers searching for a young woman's missing father arrive at a tropical island where a doctor desperately seeks the cause and cure of a recent epidemic of the undead.Lucio Fulci's gore classic. Slow pace but it's worth it, two scenes come to mind whenever this film is mentioned, eye splinter! and zombie vs.shark! one minor gripe in this film,when you see a zombie slowly rising from its grave apparently you just stand there and wait for it to bite out your throat.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsLori CardilleTerry AlexanderJoseph PilatoAs the world is overrun by zombies, a group of scientists and military personnel sheltering in an underground bunker in Florida must decide on how they should deal with the undead horde.nowhere near as good as night/dawn but the gore effects by Tom Savini are fantastic, and make it worth checking out. Just make sure your not eating any nachos.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsDuane JonesJudith O'DeaKarl HardmanA ragtag group of Pennsylvanians barricade themselves in an old farmhouse to remain safe from a horde of flesh-eating ghouls that are ravaging the Northeast of the United States.The original classic. The zombies here don't eat you alive, rather they kill you first and then eat you. If you can get around the fact that the supposed female lead is a wimpering damsel in distress (and who eventually becomes comatose) then you will enjoy one of the first real zombie films.
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsSimon PeggNick FrostKate AshfieldThe uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronics salesman and his layabout roommate are disrupted by the zombie apocalypse.really funny horror/comedy with surprising bits of brutality. It balances the darkness and humor really well.
- DirectorDanny BoyleStarsCillian MurphyNaomie HarrisChristopher EcclestonFour weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.Not exactly zombies in the traditional scence but close enough. These infected breed of undead will scare the hell out of you.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsSarah PolleyVing RhamesMekhi PhiferA nurse, a policeman, a young married couple, a salesman and other survivors of a worldwide plague that is producing aggressive, flesh-eating zombies, take refuge in a mega Midwestern shopping mall.Surprisingly good Re-imagining of the original. This one features zombies who appear to be on steroids and run so fast you'd think they ought to try for the Olympic medal.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsTimothy BalmeDiana PeñalverElizabeth MoodyA young man's mother is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey. She gets sick and dies, at which time she comes back to life, killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbors.Outrageously Gory cult classic. Not one for the squeamish, but its humor is so tongue in cheek its hard not to laugh. From director Peter Jackson(that's right) the same man who brought you the lord of the rings trilogy.
- DirectorDan O'BannonStarsClu GulagerJames KarenDon CalfaWhen two bumbling employees at a medical supply warehouse accidentally release a deadly gas into the air, the vapors cause the dead to rise again as zombies.Fun and scary 80's zombie movie. Featuring a punk soundtrack and zombies with the ability to say "BRAIIIIINSSS" and that's exactly what they are after.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsDavid EmgeKen ForeeScott H. ReinigerDuring an escalating zombie epidemic, two Philadelphia SWAT team members, a traffic reporter and his TV executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall.In my opinion it is the best of it's kind. This really sets the formula for all the zombie do's and don'ts to follow. The gore effects by Tom Savini are really great and the plot is quite genius having a group of people take refuge in a mall.
