Zombies are classic! They should be put into their own genre.
Yeah Romero's last was kinda bad, but with him there is always another one every few years.

I may get crucified for this but...I thought Romero's "Diary of the Dead" was his best effort yet.

Well, Diary of the Dead was his last film of the 'Dead' series. There will be no more. I mean, have you seen how old he is? Lol. But seriously, he's not making any more. I don't know if he's going to be making more films period, but no more Dead movies. Diary was pretty good, i did actually like it, but the standards were so high for it that it just fell so short of expectations. I personally like Dawn of the Dead best, the new one. The old one, it's really hard to get through the beginning to the good stuff. The new one, stuff is happening instantly.

I also enjoyed the remake of Dawn of the Dead better than the original. It's my favorite zombie film (second being "Diary of the Dead"). I think I might just dig it up, and watch it again tonight.




I think I'll watch "Serpent and the Rainbow" again too. Now, that's a REAL zombie film.

I think the gut and blood spilling is really not scary anymore, neither the rotten faced ghost girl coming back from the well. They overdone it.

I got so many ideas for horror movies, and it doesn't come from something jumping at you or someone with a half decomposed body, but more like psychological.

I think real horror is like on the line of something that resembles reality and "it could happen" and less to do with the supernatural.

google "Elizabeth Bathory" and also try "Armin Meiwes"

If you really want a psychological horror movie, watch 3 EXTREMES. It's three different short films, one of which is directed by Takashi Miike, who directed the japanese version of 'One Missed Call', which is SOOOOOO much better than the american remake.

Also, they made a movie centered around the Elizabeth Bathory tale, it's called 'Stay Alive'. It's not all that great, but kind of funny to watch. The guy from the tv show, Heroes, is in the opening scene, and he's all geeked out, with long hair and glasses. It's amusing.

Stay alive is based on elizabeth bathory even though it is far fetched lol.

Theres also a movie named the clockwork orange or something close to that. It's a "it could happen" film.

I love horror movies where the killer is a living person that can be killed and stays dead...

'A Clockwork Orange' doesn't really fall into the categories that we're talking about. Stanley Kubrick films are a category all their own. Plus, the book was WAAAAAAY more of a mindf*ck than the movie.

ok i retract that movie, ive never seen the whole movie. I just thought that since he said "it could happen" films i'd list it.

Ok, i get where you were going with that now. Haha. Yeah, it's an awesome movie though. Malcolm McDowell is one of my all-time favorite actors, both for that and Tank Girl, which is just one of the greatest movies ever. I mean, come on, he's the Water & Power guy who gets a holographic face and walks on broken glass with bare feet.

As far as 'it could happen' movies, nothing is better than the first two Mad Max movies. If you want hilarity in a 'horror' movie, watch Doomsday. It's a total cheap knock-off of Mad Max, but it's hilarious. They burn a guy, then chop him up and eat him, pretty graphically, off of blue paper plates. Then jump cuts to an effing joust.
