You`ll probably wait for a long time until zombie movie you`ll find worth watching comes out.

IMO Survival was pretty good, and I had watched Zone of the Dead 3 times.

reply

Survival was OK, but it's not a movie you could watch 3 times in a row. Zone is. It's a fun little flick.

i couldnt make it through a second viewing of survival, my mate demanded to turn it off lol.

im only interested in apocalypse because of ken foree. I bought 'colin' on dvd as well it was interesting, a bit too long and its budget limitations in large scenes (coupled with some bad acting) let it down. I loved the music though.

the zombie genre is my fave, except that i keep seeing total garbage (virus on mulberry street hahahah or whatever its called)

Ken is the main character in Zone of the Dead. He has a lot of screen time in the movie, and IMHO he does a very decent job.

whats the pacing and the gore like??

"she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever."

reply

The pacing is OK. Zombie infestation starts at 00:08:30. There's some exposition, character introductions but at approximately 00:30:00 the zombie mayhem starts. There are some juicy gore parts here and there (Miroslav Lakobija and his crew did a great job with very limited budget), but it's not a gore fest.

reply

Does the film feel give a good impression of zombie mayhem, I mean loads on screen at once like in dawn of the dead?

I may pick this up if I can find it cheap.

Thanks fir all the info.

Why punish yourself in such a way ?

"Zone of the Dead" is better than nothing. Everything is better than "Zone of the Dead"

reply

This is by far a better zombie flick than Survival in my opinion. More action, more gore (not that CGI rubbish) and much better atmosphere and settings.

reply

survival had horrible CG, i dont understand why it didnt use real effects, it was too slow paced, Survival and diary, both felt like cheesy acted comedies, i felt no dread as i did with previous dead films.

i definatly need to check zone of the dead out.

reply

No this movie was horrible.

reply

This movie was definitely better than Survival of the Dead. The makeup is superior, the acting is better and there's a steady pace. Survival of the Dead had a 4 million dollar budget (not including advertising fees) and felt like it had a lot less funding due to it's amateur look and directing (even though I do respect George Romero). Zone of the Dead is not by any means a classic in the making or even a good film, but it's by far the more entertaining film and surely has replay value.

reply

I thought survival and zone were both pretty crappy. I find it sad that people would even spend half a million dollars on such boring zombie flicks.
