Rotting zombies vs. fresh zombies
I love Zombie, it's one of my favorite movies ever made. It is often compared to Romero's zombie movies, which are better quality but not nearly as entertaining in my opinion. One thing that I really love about Zombie is the fact that the zombies are not only the recently bitten but also corpses that rise from the grave. I think this really makes the zombies scary, plus you get to see all these corpses in various levels of decay (Return of the Living Dead does the same thing). Romero doesn't do that, which makes his zombies a little more realistic considering a rotting corpse would have trouble walking around, catching victims, keeping body parts together, etc. But in the end, I just really have a soft spot for those nasty rotting ones like the conquistador zombie or that gooey brown zombie from Return of the Living Dead.
So which do you prefer and why? I'm just curious because a lot of people I know really can't stand the idea of already rotting corpses rising from the grave, but I think it's fantastic...
