Oh, dang, my bad. It is your least favorite. Oh, man, so many. Zombie Strippers, Dead next Door, Deadlands, the Stink of flesh, Days of Darkness, Zombie Night, etc, etc. But how do you ever have a least favorite, they all have one thing that makes them good: Zombies.

1. Zombie Strippers: Enough Said. For some unknown reason guys in this world where no strip clubs are allowed love undead women and the way they dance.
2. Zombie Night: Some of the worst camera work ever done. Acting is god awful and the storyline makes absolutely no sense what so ever. One minute the main characters are driving in a car and then in a two minute span the world goes from normal to completely overrun by zombies. Only good part was what the survivors all did to the guy who betrayed them.
3. Deadlands: The Rising: Okay. You have to give props to these guys for trying but in the end it is a bad movie. It was literally a movie of just a bunch of friends who got together and said “Lets make a zombie movie.”

JUST CURIOUS BUT WHEN DID THIS GO FROM 3 WORST MOVIES TO YOUR FAVORITE?

1. House of the Dead. Bad all the way around, but the worst was the inserted clips from the video game.
2. Children of the Living Dead. Again, bad all the way around. Just another attempt by John Russo to cash in on Night of the Living Dead. If only it had turned out more like Return of the Living Dead, another movie that started out as a Russo cash in. I guess the secret is to just take the titles that he comes up with, and throw away everything else. I met Russo years ago at the Motor City Comic Con, and he seems like a nice guy, but like Uwe Boll, he just doesn’t have what it takes to make a good movie.
3. Undead. I loved the effects, and the main character kicked butt, but the rest was too silly for me. Not as bad as some zombie movies I’ve seen, but because it had so much potential, it’s a bigger disappointment.

1. Quarantine: Great reaction from the authorities. Rarely do you see such planning and execution of a zombie outbreak. They claimed it was a rabies outbreak but that’s what they refered to it as in WWZ by Max Brooks also. So it kinda makes you think they perhaps have experience with that sort of thing. Jennifer Carpenter is kinda annoying in it but I think she has the reaction of anyone in that circumstance.
2. Dawn of the Dead (2004): This movie resparked my love for Zombies. What is really cool besides the movie is the DVD extra “We interupt this program” which has two Babylon 5 stars: the late Richard Biggs is a news anchor and the voice of Bruce Boxleitner as the president. This little extra is great as it shows the outbreak through the use of a newscast.
3. Night of the Living Dead (1990): This Tom Savini remake is great cause the main character, Barbara, goes from being a helpless mute in the first NotLD to a zombie killing hottie. If she hadn’t had been saved by those local hicks she probably could have been a female version of Rick from the Walking dead comicbook series.

#1 “Hard Rock Zombies” There is a reason not many people have heard of this, it sucks! I’m usually a stickler for historical accuracy in movies and this just might be one of the worst. An 80′s hard-rock band runs from angry parents in a small town. They then find an old mansion to take refuge in. While they start to rehearse in the old mansion they are killed by a bunch of freaks lead by Adolph Hitler. The band then rises from the dead and kills Hitler with the power of Metal. Was Hitler supposed to be a zombie in this film? Zombies would have decayed by then.

#2 “Red Neck Zombies” No, No, No! I thought I might enjoy watching Rednecks getting terrorized and turn into zombies but this is not the case, pretty much all they did was drink and ogle women.

#3 “Children of the Living Dead” Bad acting, bad special effects and the ending does not make a lick of sense. Wicked bad movie!

#1. Dawn of the dead 2. Running zombies is against the laws of zombiedom.
#2. Resident evil series. A good game does not a good zombie movie make.
#3. Day of the dead. It was just boring.
Lets encourage the powers that be to get back to the basics.

1) Zombiez. It is also the worst film I own. It looks bad for shot on video. Most of the film is one girl walking, and not in that cool Lord of the Rings way. There are no real zombies. It doesn’t say anthing.

2) Day of the Dead 2: Contagium. It isn’t shot on video. The special effects are not terrible. It is totally an issue of poor acting. It poisons any good in this film.

3) Severed. The plot lacks coherence. It jumps between a lab and a forest with neither location being very interesting.

‘Otto; Or Up with Dead People’ – A German film which was marketed as being an art house and experimental take on the zombie film ended up being an blend of still image montages, heavy handed voice overs and metaphors from a pretentious would-be goth woman and soft core gay zombie pornography set to bland lifeless music. In the end it’s basically what people who don’t/ won’t watch art house movies think art house movies are like… gay cowboys eating pudding.

‘Dead and Deader’ – A Scifi Channel ‘un’Original. Ripped 1 liners from other films are read with blank stares from a lifeless cast (and I haven’t even gotten to the zombies.) Dean Cain should have followed in George Reeve’s footsteps and I’m not talking about being Superman.

‘Pot Zombies’ – Troma Entertainment released this gem where you guessed it… the infection is thanks to tainted weed. The climax is a fat man running nude with his penis painted green… not even Toxie with his ever present mop and bucket can clean up this mess of a film. LLoyd is known for screwing film maker who release through Troma but, in this case, he should have kept it in his pants.

Vampires v. Zombies – I was surprised when I was able to sell this to a store chain for $0.11. I was expecting to be charged a disposal fee. Not only does this movie not have any zombies or vampires, it has no story or talent involved.
Ozone – The guy that made “Dead Next Door”, which was quite shitty but with a bit of fannish charm, made this stinker. Quite shitty with a bit of extra shitty.
Zombie Night – Not surprised that someone else already mentioned this one. Rave 2 the Grave is a masterpiece compared to this wooden and intolerably cliched piece of unfilm. This is the kind of project where you would insist on having your name removed from the credits.

1. Resident Evil – For anyone, and I mean anyone, who actually played the original Resident Evil video games you would realize that this movie was utter crap.
2. Living a Zombie Dream – This was an Indie film about a kid who was murdered and eventually became a zombie hunting down his killers. Budget: $23….This movie sucks
3. Zombie Night – Crappy effects on top of crappy story. Please only watch this if you’re drunk and you have a long piece of rope tied into a quick slip knot to end it half way through.
