Zombie Squad

I enjoy zombie movies, but my favorite movies were based on the book "I Am Legend" This book is a 1954 horror fiction novel by American writer Richard Matheson. It was influential in the development of the zombie genre and in popularizing the concept of a worldwide apocalypse due to disease. I never read the book but enjoy all the movies based on it.

1st was the movie with Vincent Price "The last man on earth" , worth watching for the poor acting and really bogus zombies. Almost comical, but worth at least seeing once.

2nd was "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston. A classic!

And finally was the recent movie with Will Smith "I Am Legend", one of my favorite actors doing a great job in this film.

I say rent them all and have a zombie night at the movies!!!!

I LOVE I am Legend except for the part about the dog. I usually have to leave the room for that part because I just can't take it. The zombie site has a lot of cool general survival stuff on there. I will definitely check it out further. With all the super bugs and viruses they are creating (at unsecured labs I might add) maybe zombies ARE a real threat. Shoot them in the head...works in every zombie movie I have seen!

Resident Evil us another movie inspired by virus infection. Fun games too!

The resident Evil series is pretty good. I like Dawn of the Dead too, and for a funnier take on zombies Shaun of the Dead. Did anybody watch the Walking Dead series?

I enjoyed the Walking Dead, It had a good ending last season! I didn't catch it from the very beginning of the series though. So I never heard what caused the dead to rise. Guess it doesn't matter though, once they're up and about, the story is all the same.

The Walking Dead, is my favorite television series! I really liked I am Legend, so I am going to try to watch those other movies. This reminds menof an awesome movie, but it does not involve zombies, just a disaster. The movie is called The Road, and follows a man and his son trying to survive. I think it is based off a novel, but I am not sure of the name of the book. I don't cry during movies. I don't get emotional or anything. This movie had me so emotional, I was sobbing and asking my brother why he insisted I watch it. Great, great movie!

I also enjoyed "The Road", it was a post apocalyptic scenario and a sad story. That whole post apocalyptic genre is interesting in itself. The "Book of Eli" is another movie that falls into that category....along with the Mad Max, Water World and a ton of other movies.

I Am Legend was great until the zombies turned into Spider Man. Hit the U Bend almost instantly at that point.

I hated The Road...not because it was a bad story, but the actor playing the little boy was horrible. It may not even be that he is a bad actor, but all he did was whine, cry, and scream...which come to think of it is exactly how most of the coddled kids of today would react in a similar scenario. I just thought it really took away from the story they were trying to tell.
