Where do we draw the line on what is and what is not a zombie movie? We just can’t decide on our own, so every Monday we’ll post a new movie to be debated by, you, our readers and ask the question: Zombie Movie Or Not? Every Sunday we’ll post our findings and possibly strike that movie off our Zombie Movie List. The week should give you enough time to rent the movie if need be or you desire.

What every reader must keep in mind is that there are two basic types of zombie that every zombie movie based off of - the Voodoo Zombie and the Romero Zombie. The Voodoo Zombie, while not always raised by Voodoo necessarily, is basically a person, either undead or entranced, that is controlled by a person or entity for the purpose of completing tasks, often killing. Romero Zombies are basically mindless, flesh-eating undead whose bite will turn victims into zombies. Now, not all movies adhere to all of these rules, but if the basics are there, you got a zombie movie.

This weeks debate is over The Last Man On Earth (1964) Starring Vincent Price.

IS: While written as a vampire story, writer Richard Matheson felt he had to distance himself due to its radical difference from his book. The undead in the movie were definite influences on George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead and could definitely be considered zombies.

IS NOT: The movie is about vampires, not zombies. While both are undead, there is a marked difference one of them being sensitivity to light, plus mode of dispatch being through the heart, not the head.

Now it’s up to you, reader. What do you think? The Last Man on Earth: Zombie Movie Or Not?

This weeks debate is over The Signal (2007) Directed by David Bruckner.

IS: While not traditional in it’s representation of zombies as flesh-hungry undead, but rather as people that are infected with a virus of the technological variety that kill with a will given to them by said virus, it fits into the zombie genre more in a metaphoric way, rather than a literal way.

IS NOT: Well, no zombies, means no zombie movie, right?

This weeks debate is over Mesiah Of Evil (1973) Directed by William Huyck

IS: They’re a flesh hungry horde of white-faced zombies. This screams zombie movie.

IS NOT: They’re not necessarily dead, undead or zombies. Maybe in the sense of being a mob of drones, but there’s never anything said in the movie about them being zombies or undead or anything. They’re just a mob of white-faced jerks.
