Missing the zombies? Me too! I've been too busy and/or distracted to watch many zombie movies of late. But today, my special top-ten list of greatest/most indispensable zombie movies ever got published...parrts out entirely without losing much. Still, it's almost worth seeing just for the fact that it is a Paistani zombie movie. Anyone know if there's a Bollywood zombie epic out there somehwere?

Nothing too exciting, just three more zombie reviews, including the very first zombie movie, White Zombie . Mortuary Tobe Hooper directed this steaming pile of crap about a mortuary built over the...bad, but the techniques and style of the film make it seem horribly dated and the mastering left a lot to be desired in both the sound and picture quality. It was good to see where it all began, though

Actually, the fixation never really went anywhere. I was just kind of busy for a couple of weeks and couldn't find the time to squeeze in any zombie movies (or any movies at all, really). Over the last...also does this weird overlap/fade thing where both scenes are visible during almost every single edit. It's disconcerting at first, then surreal, then just fucking annoying. A truly terrible movie

Night of the Creeps The '80s were a fine time for zombie cinema. Movies like this were made and did passably well. Creeps is a '50s creature feature drive-in homage, set squarely in the middle of a...to say other than a very brief flirtation with Obamania was quickly curtailed when he revealed himself to be simply another politician. Phew, thanks, Barry! You almost had me there for a minute

Re-Animator Another classic movie that lives up to its reputation. Young, brilliant, probably psychotic medical student seeks the key to defeating death -- and finds it. But the side effects and consequences...and plot are all decent and the gore is solid for its era. But it wasn't remarkable, and its reputation made it out to be. Overall a pretty standard '70s horror film -- not bad, but not special

City of the Living Dead I consider Fulci's Zombie to be a classic zombie film, a near-masterpiece. This movie, one of his follow-ups, is a middling exercise in atmosphere and extreme gore. The story...else but the blessed relief that came from the movie finally being over. Yeah, it's bad. It was also clearly and obviously mastered to DVD from an old videotape, possibly recorded off of television

That's right, more zombie stuff. First, I'd like to announce that I will be introducing Return of the Living Dead at the Starz FilmCenter Friday night (and possibly Saturday if my other assignment falls...townsfolk pull out the guns and wipe them all out -- or do they?. The end rips off Night 's ending -- what a surprise. Apart from being slow, dull and dumb, it wasn't bad. Just kidding, it was bad

I found out that zombie porn exists. Or at least that people wish it did. I was looking at a zombie blog the other day and it mentioned that zombie porn was his top entry point. Imagine. Speaking of zombie...theme and plot point that the people you're trapped with are just as much a threat, and usually more, than the zombies. By modern standards a little slow and not particularly gory, it still works

I've been busy, busy, busy at Westword the past few weeks, filling in for a position I had applied for. I didn't get the job, which is a mixed bag. On the one hand, I like working there and the job would...films or, again, are a total zombie fanatic. Speaking of zombie fanaticism, keep your eyes peeled for more reviews. The pace of one a night is done, but I'm still super into this whole zombie thing

The grand experiment is over. Thirty (well, thirty one) zombie movies in thirty days. And to be honest, I'm sort of bummed. I could easily keep going. hell, I want to keep going. But my movie companions...up. The whole movie was fucked up. But in a really, really good way. I'm doing a wrap-up post for Westword tomorrow.
