Eh I think zombie movies don't have as much variety in the plot. They're essentially brain-dead humans who don't have any strategy or goals, other than walking around trying to eat stuff. At least with alien movies you can talk about different objectives, different physiology, different technology, etc.

It's all about the different zombie plans.

no... how the zombies act... and what caused it is drastically different across the board.... ie look at Night of the Living Dead vs 28 days later vs Walking Dead... different zombies in each... different causes...

I hate aliens, I hate alien movies, I hate alien tv shows, I hate alien invasions, and I pretty much hate anything related to them.


Thanks to this movie, I also couldn't sleep for almost a year and even tried watching it when I was much older and still freaked me the fuck out.

It was original, all right, and seriously sucked shit to this life-long Science Fiction fan. Monsters ripped off from H.P. Lovecraft and you didn't know how it ended, unless you sat through the credits and saw the crappy stop-motion vignettes.

This new one looks predictably bad. If I see one more motorcycle jumping through a window......

If theyre gonna put something after the credits there should be a "hey. Dont get up yet" sign.

Directors and producers think that they're being all "cool" and "hep" when they pull that shit. They don't realize that those terms are 60 years and a century out of date, respectively, just as are those cheap theatrical manoeuvres.

Then again they've brought back 3D, after a 50 year hiatus Next they'll be restarting Smell-o-rama.

It was for the best in this case, if you couldn't think the movie could get any worse, stay for after the credits, they up the shitasticness by a factor of 50.
