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...

World War Z

PART ONE:
As I write this, I have not yet seen the movie.  But, I have read the book.  I gotta say, I loved the book.  The book was VERY detailed.  The book's setting is ten years after victory is declared in the fight against the zombies.  The writer, Max Brooks tells the story of how he went around the world interviewing the most important people in the war.  There's the story of the doctor who treated Patient Zero, the bodyguard of the stars, the guy that created the "medication" to stop the infection, the humans so desperate to it in that they imitate the zombies, the Russian soldier that has given birth to multiple babies to help re-populate, the woman who has the mind of a child.  There are many awesome stories in this novel.  On a scale of 1 to 10, the book gets a very well deserved 10.








PART TWO:
As I write this section of the review, I have seen the movie starring Brad Pitt.  While it wasn't nearly as good as the book.  It was good.

The infected in the movie were more like people with rabies.  There were alot of cool scenes.  The airplane, the wall, the CDC center.  I could go on.

There were many references to the book which was a good thing.  I won't go into alot of detail about the movie.  Because, chances are, you've seen it.  I highly recommend the book. Check it out.  You won't be disappointed.

Now, down to business.  On a scale of 1 to 10, this one gets a 6.  That's being generous.  Again, the infected weren't zombies.  They had a rabies type of virus.  And, as you probably know by now, I don't like super fast zombies.  There you have it.  Our first Book\Movie Review.
