Never saw REC, but I heard Quarantine is a shot-for-shot remake.

There's worse things that could be trendy. I think it ties in with eveyone's doomsday theories/fears.

Personally, I just want the excuse to shoot random people in the head and not go to prison.

Stake Land was killer. The best vampire film in a long time. The Dawn of the Dead remake was a great fast zombie film. Making fun of fast zombies is silly since Return of the Living Dead has fast zombies that movies in the top 5 zombie films.

there was NOTHING good about Let Me In.

Let The Right One In was a really nice breath of fresh air with all of these vampires woo-ing hoe-bags and having shoot outs.

Let Me In was unneeded garbage. Why remake a movie within two years of the original release?



toggletoggle post by RustyPS  at Mar 5,2012 5:23pm
Because US filmmakers can't come up with an original idea, so they either have to remake an old US movie, or remake a foreign move with a fresh idea that a select few Americans have seen.

Hate to say it, but Rec and 28 Days Later weren't zombie movies. They had more of a relation to the monkey in Outbreak than Bub in Day of the Dead.

Those movies were about viruses making people sick. Not the dead being reanimated.
Rec was about a guy who wanted to create a virus that would wipe out the human race but instead it mutated and made people strip to their bare animal insticts to feed and dominate.
28 Days/Weeks Later was along the same lines. Military testing on apes to try and create an antidote to combat major diseases and illnesses. Still in the testing stages, it inhibits human rage.

One's about a disease (not undead zombies) and the other is about a virus/demonic possession (spoiler alert lol)

Some people will argue that only The Serpent & The Rainbow is "really" a zombie movie

I'd say voodoo raising the dead is borderline legitimate



toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Mar 5,2012 5:37pm
I guess if you want to get into specifics, yea. But that's like calling Star Wars scifi (often labelled as) when it's really not, although it has elements of.

But a stumbling person making BLAAAARGH noises and chasing the living qualifies as a zombie movie in my outdated book, regardless of if theyre a traditional zombie or not.

i was always of the opinion that a zombie was just a generic term for the waking dead - regardless of how they got that way.

My opinion on Underworld was they tried to make The Matrix into a vampire/werewolf movie. Everyone can agree it wasn't as good, but they somehow managed to get one more sequel than The Matrix did (if you don't count the Animatrix).

I still feel it's gotten almost to the point where it feels like a psy-op. I'm not sure if it'd be aimed at promoting the Malthusian worldview preferred by the global financial elite or simply conditioning more Americans to the idea of slaughtering "subhumans" as a means of survival. Maybe both.

Also the idea that "infected" or "possessed" can't be viewed as zombies in some cases is stupid... Zombies don't have to be dead; the term was originally applied to victims of arcane Haitian mind-control techniques, who were quite decidedly not dead.

this. when i was a kid i was obsessed with monsters, i had all these books on the origin stories of zombies, vampires, werewolves, etc. which i think are far cooler than the gay stories people tell now. no one gave a shit about horror stuff, i was one of the only losers who cared. i treat zombies like i treat black metal. if someone talks about either, they are gay hipsters.
