AN ARTICLE BY: Zack Huffman I'm now going to run through every zombie movie that I remember
seeing.
This is George Romero's first movie. Released in 1968, it's well-known as one of the greatest horror flicks ever. The 1990 remake of the movie, pales in comparison. Now that you can see the poor special effect, even though they're better in this one, the movie loses quite a bit of it's magic. Dawn of the Dead The sequel to Night of the Living Dead is considered by many, to be one of the greatest horror flicks of all time. I happen to agree. Day of the Dead In the final movie of the trilogy, a wacky scientist is trying to train a zombie, while a bunch of others are holed up inside an abandoned military compond. It's not as good as it's two predecessors in the series, but it is pretty cool.
Evil Dead The original Sam Raimi classic featured the great Bruce Cambell having to face off against all of his friends, that are turned into demons, one by one. I barely remember this movie. Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn In my personal favorite entry into the Evil Dead Trilogy, has Ash still fighting his undead girlfriend in the cabin from the first movie. After unsuccessfully trying to escape, his hand is bitten, which becomes possessed. Zaniness ensues. A great many fanboy like to emulate Ash from this movie, and the next. Army of Darkness After Evil Dead 2, Ash was sent to back in time, to the Dark Ages. Now he must obtain the necronomicon and get himself back to the present. When Ash unwittingly causes an entire army of corpses to come back, more zaniness ensues. Return of the Living Dead In 1985, this movie come out, as a bit of a tribute, and a
bit of a farce on the original living dead trilogy. It's another
one of my favorite horror flicks. A bunch of punks have to deal Return of the Living Dead 2 This is pretty a re-make of the first movie, but this time a kid named Jesse is the hero. There's more of a focus on comedy this time around, but the special effects aren't quite as cool. Return of the Living 2 also happens to be the very first Zombie movie that I ever saw. Return of the Living Dead 3 In this one, the main character's girl friend is bitten by a zombie, and slowly turns into one. As she keeps creating zombies, the hero continually tries to keep her "alive" while also keeping her away from more potential victims. He doesn't do a very good job. The end result is a decent zombie flick, but one that is still inferior to it's two predecessors.
