Warm Bodies

1) Eh, it's a lot better than some of tha other zombie movies. Obvi I have a thing for horror romcoms, but it was hard to get too wild about this one.

2) I guess it was one of tha first zombie movies to develop the subsets of zombies. I was only half paying attention when I was watching this so it made it pretty hard to keep up at first lol.

3) The whole thing is pretty out in left field. Even assuming zombies are real, it's still pretty unbelievable. I mean, they figure out that to transition the zombies into humans, they gotta start to get feelings for each other. Who would really be the first to jump off the cliff into that one? It's like, yeah I'll just start gii with this zombie and maybe he won't eat my friends flesh anymore.

4) It's pretty tight that there's a COLONEL in the movie who's trying to TKO people.

Re-Animator

1) Pretty solid overall. I was kind of skeptical after Mick recommended that I review it, but it actually turned out pretty good.

2) Not too many movies have embarked upon the reanimation theme and this one was tight. In an odd way it kind of reminded me of Pet Semetary because of that cat that comes back to life all crazy.

3) The original crazy guy does seem to just make poor choices during the movie. Why would you inject someone bigger and stronger than you with some goop that makes them come back to life to wallop on you? And when all these resurrections are going poorly his solution is to just inject faster lol.

4) Speaking of poor choices, why did the original med student let him come live with him? He's creepy, weirds out your lady friend, and only wants to pay in cash. Although I will say I'm not really one to talk. The other day I called direct TV to ask them about the length of their contract and 30 minutes later I had signed up for a 2 year premium package lol.

5) I forgot that that awful movie American Beauty mentions this when the two guys are smoking.

Shaun of the Dead

1) It was running laps around most of these other zombie movies I've seen. I've actually never been wild about most zombie movies, but this one was pretty good.

2) It's even more impressive that I like this because outside of Love Actually, it's hard for me to think of any European movies I'm terribly wild about (albeit I don't really ever try to watch them lol).

3) With all that being said it still seems to suffer from the same problems that plague other zombie movies: they all have the same plot. I mean, these guys realize that theres a bunch of zombies that are taking over and they have to figure out what to do. I get that they add the 'he's not doing anything with his life twist' but besides that this is the same old same old.

4) They just cuss like sailors this whole movie lol.

Good, but maybe laying off the zombie movies for awhile,

Dawn of the Dead

1) What a snooze fest. These zombie movies are kind of jitsu when there's no real point to them. It's like these zombies lock these n00bs in this mall and then they can't figure out how to get out. yawn.

2) If they would've avoided the mall at least then it would have at least been entertaining, but this was just boring.

3) Zombies seem to be scarier when they are super fast and crazy looking. I actually find most scary bad guys creepier when they move slow (Michael Myers, Jason, etc.), but I don't know why. If Michael Myers ran after fools it wouldn't be as scary, but for some reason these slow zombies just aren't scary. It's like a bunch of old folks that got out trying to touch you. I don't know why they just don't shove them over and run out of the place lol.

Seemed more like an action movie than horror movie,

28 Days Later

1) Pretty spooky parts during the movie. I almost jumped a few times when those fucking zombies made it rain out of nowhere.

2) I don't know why they had to keep playing music during the whole movie. There was even some Church music going on during the movie. It seemed like it woulda been a lot spookier if there was just no music.

3) Pretty crazy twist with the whole military base. I didn't realize how rated R this movie would actually be. The dude putting his fingers through that guys eyeballs was CRAZY.

4) Sometimes these n00bs kept mumbling, it was pretty hard to understand them at some points.

Nothing really wrong with it, just doesn't fit my horror taste very well,

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

1) I'm never terribly wild about these black and white movies but I know I need to catch up on some of these 'classics' lol.

2) For a black and white movie it wasn't great. For the first 45 minutes it was so dark that it was hard to tell what was going on. You know those times you're at Henry's upstairs and you wonder why it's so fucking dark everywhere. It kind of reminded me of that: really dark, a bunch of n00bs running around, and there's always the danger of someone falling and hurting themselves (lol bunz).

3) I don't really get why the movie was so important for horror movies. I mean it's a mediocre mid-60s black and white zombie movie but that's about it. I guess it had a showing in the old Halloween 2 (where the dude is watching it on tv) and the new Halloween 2 where she wakes up to it.

4) The "They're coming for you Barbara" line is money though.
