Zombies were VERY badly acted

So is your problem that the zombie actors did a poor job portraying the zombies as directed ('badly acted'), or is it that the directors of the film chose to portray zombies in a manner that is different from your favorite? Because those are two very different complaints.



I am the sod-off shotgun.

I liked the zombies in this one gave me that lucio fulci zombie vib goin on;)

I liked these zombies - they were played without aggression, and to that end I thought they were all played consistently well. They were like automatons, motivated to eat but not motivated by rage. I think that takes a lot of restraint on the part of the actors!

George Romero could be called the "inventor" of zombies, and he made them slow. He said he will never make them fast, because as you know, they are dead people. You think a corpse with broken bones and rigamortis is going to move quickly? The makers of Walking Dead say the same. These are just "walking dead" people. They don't have any super powers or anything. And Walking Dead zombies are slow, too. (GREAT show by the way).

Also, side note, the people playing the zombies were actual natives of the area they filmed in Africa. They are not actors. I read an interview and they said the villages, the people, the families, were all real people in their real homes (without electricity) even wearing their own clothes. I doubt they have ever seen a zombie movie. I found their portrayal of zombies even better. It made it more scary because it was a new take on how zombies behave, by people who have probably never seen them.

Slow or fast, they can still eat your brains. :-)

I liked them. They reminded me more of Fulci zombies, trance like and almost supernatural. But yes I do prefer plaque zombies to supernatural zombies. By the way please don't anyone on this thread say anything stupid like "what's a Fulci zombie?"

Yes, they were so devoid of emotion & hardly chatted amongst themselves at all!
