Flesh Eating Zombies. The Living Dead! This is one of my favorite horror movie types. Do we have any other people who like zombies here? News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

MickG, I tell you, the badass guys in that movie are NOT zombies - they are DEAD AMERICANS. | |

I adore the zombie theme, and especially George Romero's films.
Night of the Living Dead--Great film Dawn of the Dead--Fantastic film Day of the Dead--Poor film Land of the Dead--Good film His movies actually have a level of depth to them beyond just "Zombies eat flesh and people are scared of them and outnumbered against them." Romero's movies use the zombie genre to make statements about the human condition, and how we're our own worst enemy. How one catastrophic incident is all it takes for our own self-destructive, vile nature to bring us to the brink of extinction. How we can be blind to the solutions to our problems because of our own selfishness and narcissism. That's the thing. The zombies always win in Romero's films because, unlike us, they're united. They have one common goal, and so despite being physically weaker and of primitive intelligence, they win easily every time. The humans destroy themselves, and the zombies are simply the magnifying glass that reveals in-depth how mind-numbingly hopeless and frustrating we are as a collective society. The zombies in Romero's every new film are constantly evolving. The humans, with all of their advanced intelligence and impressive accomplishments, simply repeat the same mistakes to the same tragic results. Romero's "Dead" films aren't just great horror movies; they're works of art. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Olga Karlatos appears in Lucio Fulci's 'Murderock' and 'Zombie' (more widely known as 'Zombie Flesh-Eaters'). The more observant among you will remember that the talented Ms Karlatos played Prince's habitually distressed mom in Purple Rain. In Zombie Flesh-Eaters however, she meets a rather gruesome end executed with a rather large wooden splinter via an eyeball 
Anyway, little known piece of useless trivia for ya there fact fans. I don't charge  | |

I love zombie movies.....but in small doses only. They become repetitive after a while.
