I've already posted that footage, but all well.

 

That does sound great though. Just give it a trailer, and I'll be set.

A clip from the trailer is up You'll be able to see the whole thing when Hills Have Eyes II comes out.

Interesting. As long as the production values are better (and I don't necessarily mean money here) than Day of the Dead 2: Contagium...

 

I think that anything will be better then that piece of crap. It really should not even have Day of the Dead in the title. That's blasphamous to George A. Romero!

Day of the Dead 2? Oh good Christ.

 

28 Days Later was perfectly acceptable. What will be the third installment -- 28 Months Later?

 

Followed by 28 Years Later and 28 Decades Later.

Well, I suffered through "Hills Have Eyes II" last night (really, avoid it) for the trailer, and it does indeed kick ass. When it comes online, either me or someone else will post it.

I've always wondered why they don't show very many children in these types of movies, especially zombie flicks like Dawn of the Dead (remake, of course)?

 

I think it'd show more realism, agreed?

Zombies are re-animated dead. These things are infected with a virus.

 

Thus, not a zombie movie. Can't really argue it.

 

They die, and they're re-animated by the virus. I can see why there would be an argument.

TECHNICALLY, a zombie movie is one that focuses on voodoo practices, as a REAL zombie is one that is under the control (via "potions," AKA various herbal drugs and poisons) of a voodoo practitioner, most often as revenge on his/her family or for slavery purposes.

 

So if you wanna get TECHNICAL about it, then everybody's wrong. Plus, the Infected do not die once infected. They get INFECTED and SLOWLY die due to dehydration and starvation (they do not eat nor drink, hence the many dying ones at the end of 28DL), but the infection makes them have incredible rage (hence its name: RAGE) and deny all other aspects of their own life to destroy all living non-infected beings. I see the Infected as a good pseudo-zombie: it has the speed that lesser-core/casual zombie fans like, it's STILL human (the classic line "we're them and they're us" is applied even more to the Infected), and it doesn't want to eat you but merely rip you to pieces. They ARE zombies in the sense that they are driven to do one thing and ignore everything else to achieve that one primal goal. Romero zombies, and most zombies in films, just want to eat. The Infected want to destroy. They ARE zombies, but they aren't because what constitutes a zombie has been forever changed by George A. Romero and John Russo.
