RE: Favorite zombie films
(01-13-2012 03:40 AM)Pred Wrote: I am legend isn't really a zombie movie is it? I mean they are really sick 28 Days later is the same general (actually, nearly identical) idea, is that considered to be a zombie flick? I have heard people say yes, and some say no it is an "outbreak" movie.... But is there a difference? Nearly every zombie flick could be considered an outbreak flick at its roots since that is what makes zombies scary - the rate at which they spread and infect. (for the record, I do consider 28 Days/Weeks later to be zombie flicks - love them!) The book 'Zombies - The Recent Dead' has a very interesting introduction that talks about how zombies are the only major movie monster that does not have its roots in literature, but in cinema. It also touches on the fact that the current popular concept of zombies (undead, fiending for flesh) didn't come around until Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Been a while since I have read it, but it was something along those lines. Worth checking out for zombie film/history buffs. |
