I love zombie movies. Night of the Living Dead was a classic. Dawn of the Dead was excellent. Day of the Dead was perfection. There are probably tons of other non-Romero zombie flicks out there that are plenty good. But recently, zombie movies have kind of gone downhill. The good zombie flick to bad zombie flick ratio is changing for the worse. I think the only really good recent zombie movie is Shaun of the Dead. Now, let's talk about a few recent movies I've seen.

Land of the Dead. I really expected better from Romero, but he did exactly what Lucas did with Star Wars. Instead of sticking to the basic things that made the original movies so great, instead he went all the way with cheap-looking CGI. The blood doesn't look like blood, it looks like tiny red snakes. And that scene with the near-headless zombie is soooooooooo faaaaaaaaaaake... One thing I hated about Land of the Dead is that it wasn't really a zombie movie, it was more of a movie that had zombies. Land of the Dead,

Resident Evil. Aside from being absolutely nothing like the game, I found Resident Evil to be somewhat enjoyable. The characters were bland, however, and they didn't go all the way on the gore factor in my opinion. Haven't seen Apocalypse, and don't plan on seeing the upcoming threequel. Resident Evil, video games?

Resident Evil, movies?

House of the Dead. Based off the popular arcade games (or so I presume), these movies are apparently Sci-Fi channel original movies. House of the Dead, Route 666, any other cheesy Sci-Fi zombie movies, are absolute crap. (Actually, I found Route 666 to be somewhat enjoyable.) Sci-Fi channel,

Well, that's my opinion. Zombie movies seem to be getting crappier, but hey, so do all films. Every now and then we can expect a diamond in the rocks, like Shaun of the Dead. Well, tell me your thoughts.

I'm looking forward to Diary of the Dead, assuming Romero doesn't overdo it with the CGI again...
