I created this blog to review the zombie movies I've seen. There are a ton of them!! Some that suck, some that are really good and everything in between. This list will grow slowly. You'll probably see George A. Romero's name alot in this blog. Why wouldn't you? He's the "Godfather of all Zombies." I'll probably summarize each movie and then rate it somewhere on a scale of 1 to 10. There's really no rhyme or reason to my ratings scale. I may rate something really high or really low and then rate something similar exactly opposite. There may be some small thing about a movie that I don't like that might bring a rating down. The reviews are set-up with my most recent review on top, and the oldest at the bottom. Anyway, let's get started...

Cold Storage


This installment of The Walking Dead webisodes was directed by the show's co-executive producer, special effects makeup artist, director, and part-time actor, Greg Nicotero.  I really love this show.  So, naturally anything that is associated with this show will almost always get a 10 from me.

This mini movie is set sometime in the beginning of season 1.  The main character, Chase is trying to catch up to his friends and is hoping to find his sister along the way.  There is much speculation that Chase's sister is Lori.  That remains to be seen.  But, while we wait for season 3 to start, click here to watch Cold Storage.

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)


This is the movie that started it all.  Released in 1968, it's been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as a film deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."

If you haven't seen this one, I recommend it.  It's not the best movie ever made, but it sure isn't the worst.  That title still belongs to Bloodlust Zombies.  You can find that review in this blog as well.  

Anyway, a radioactive spill by the military sets off a chain reaction of events.  I watched this movie knowing that the special effects and make-up wouldn't be up to par with today's standards.  What made me think when watching this movie were the news reports on the TV and radio.  This is clearly the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.  So, TV and radio still work.  There are reports of murders, looting, riots, chaos, AND places you can go for shelter.  This is most likely what would happen if this thing could happen for real.  I think this is what scared people in the theaters the most.  I think this is why people were offended after watching it.  The fact that Barbara went into shock (which is very much possible) really irritated me.  Why? Cause she wouldn't talk.  Also, typical in a George A. Romero film, the zombies were using weapons.  I know, it's stupid.  But, that's one of those things about a zombie movie that I find annoying.

To give the original zombie apocalypse movie anything less than a 10 wouldn't be right.  But, to give it a score I felt wasn't deserving wouldn't be right either.  So, on a scale of 1 to 10, this classic movie gets a 9.  If you disagree with me, watch the full movie here and you decide.
