'Flight of the Living Dead'
I admit, the recent comic book advertisements for it hooked me.
I staked out Blockbuster until it was available.
It definitely falls in the "so bad it's good" category.
Nothing like a stewardess repeatedly telling panicked zombie-attacked passengers to "take your seats"! Heh heh!
I've been in full-blown zombie mode lately. Also rented PLANET TERROR (haven't watched yet), am up to the 5th tpb of THE WALKING DEAD (it's SO addicitive!!), and got MARVEL ZOMBIES 2 # 1.

Per the instructions of THE WALKING DEAD's writer, I bought Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD on DVD a couple weeks ago. It was okay, once I got past the whole claustrophobic feel of it. I was really wanting to wait and see the re-make, which I had heard was in the works.
So yesterday I went to Blockbuster and found out not only is the DAY OF THE DEAD remake *already* out (and apparently follows Romero's original plan for the film) but there is ANOTHER in the series-- DIARY OF THE DEAD. I rented "Diary of..." and will watch it tonight. Anyone seen the "DAY OF..." remake?
I *really* like the Dawn of the Dead remake, hopefully these are that good.

I'd heard of the remake plans for Day but didn't know it was out. I wonder if its on iTunes. Diary I knew was out but it never hit a theater here. Guess its time to update my zombie video collection.
Both Night and Dawn remakes were ok, Dawn definitely much better. But I still love the originals.

My favorite is still Shawn of the Dead. Never really got into the zombie movies, though. Saw planet terror and it was pretty good. My wife likes the resident evil movies.
I don't really like the horror movies because i tend to ruin them for other people, lol. I laughed my ass off at nightmare on elm street instead of being terrified. People in the audience don't tend to like that.
And five minutes into the zombie movies, or the "'orror noir" like scream, i just want everyone dead. Something original and unique, kill them all off in the first twenty minutes and have the rest of the movie run like the Andy Griffith show. Horror on top of horror, lol.

Scott, have you seen Zombi: Dawn of the Dead, the recut of the original Dawn of the Dead for the European market? It moves like a bullet train and has a kick-ass score by Goblin. Not to be confused with Lucio Fulci's unrelated but equally brilliant Zombi 2, or Zombie to us Americans.

I haven't seen the recut. Ok, add that to my growing list of zombie disks to find. Thanks! As for Zombi 2, all I can say is shark vs. zombie.

Easily my favourite zombie movie. Followed by Resident Evil - it had zombie dogs! I did catch Diary of the Dead, and for a brief moment I was sure I would get a zombie chicken, alas...
Zombi 2 holds promise, but beyond that, I get my fill from The Walking Dead.
Now penguins...

I haven't gone to the theatre for a scary movie in years but I'm planning to go Sunday to see this.
Looks like, based on the commercial, that the zombie/disease outbreak happens within a highrise and then is contained there by the Center for Disease Control. If you try to get out of the highrise, you are shot or whatever.
There goes my rationale for living in a highrise in case a zombie outbreak occures!

Love the actress from Dexter. Movie looks very scary and claustrophobic, so I definitely want to take Lady Cobalt out to see it (she looks like horror, including b-grade horror, as well).
I'll have to wait until its been out a few weeks though so those damn loud and horny teenagers aren't in the theater with me

There were definitely a few scary and make-you-jump moments. The clautrophobia was definitely there.
I do have 2 complaints... it takes just a smidge too long to get moving. They could maybe have made the opening scenes about 5 minutes or more shorter and gotten to the action sooner. People were starting to lose interest by the time the action started. The DAWN remake would have been a good example to follow here.
Also, it's filmed in that whole "Blair Witch" style, by an actual cameraman in the movie. While in some places, this is highly effective, in some it's highly annoying.
