A.D. – Screenshot
Whether you want to admit it or not, zombie movies are becoming passe. Animated zombies films, however, are still pretty cool. If you need evidence of this, scoot on over to Zombie Info for a bunch of hi-res images and an exclusive interview with the creators, who hope to turn the awesome trailer [...]

Dawn of the Dead
“Zombies don’t run.”
Well, why the fuck not?
With Zack Snyder’s plot-hole ridden and downright hilarious re-imagining of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, convention was turned upside down and the commonly accepted notion of the slow zombie was thrown to the wind. Fast zombies, heretofore relegated to more comedy-themed horror films such as Return [...]

I suppose with the recent passing of Easter and all things zombie Jesus, an article on the walking dead is appropriate.
If there’s a social hierarchy among monsters, zombies are not at the top of the list. They may not even be on the list. They’re not cool like werewolves. There’s no Warren Zevon song [...]

outpost
Director: Steve Barker
Year: 2008
Country: UK
Zombies are universally known as a monumental pain in the ass. It’s true. They smell, the by-product of that whole being dead thing; they’re ugly, again, a by-product of that whole being dead thing; and they have this weird, insatiable urge to eat your brains, a by-product of George Romero’s weird [...]

Zombie Girl.
Zombie Girl is a documentary about 12-year old Emily Hagins. Unlike most 12-year old girls, she recently wrote, directed, produced, and edited her own feature length zombie film called Pathogen. In an age where kids are taking camcorders and throwing together loose short films with a modicum of effort, she’s taking it a [...]

If you head on over to this post at And Now the Screaming Starts, you’ll find not only a very informative and well-written review of the zomcom (he prefers the portmanteau “zombedy”) Fido, but a fairly vitriolic critique of the current state of zombie films and the necessary, albeit tongue-in-cheek, steps to quell the surge [...]

The written word is far more powerful than any moving image, so it comes as no surprise to find a massive rise in popularity of zombie fiction. It broke into the mainstream with Max Brooks with his Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, both of which remained on the New York Times best sellers [...]
