What's the best zombie movie?

I have to rent one tomorrow.

from 1968.

I thought it was much better. Though the origanl was groundbreaking, I still like the newer one.

The mindless consumers = zombies subtext is delicious.

How f'ed up is that?

Much better production values than NOTLD, and nerve-wracking as hell.

Hard to find this one - Jacques Tourneur film, based on Jane Eyre, from the 40's (if I recall correctly). At times, this one feels almost like a French New Wave film from 20 years later. If you can't find that one, then Dawn of the Dead (see above) is a close second, followed by the original Night of the Living Dead.

I agree, this was a really good film, very erie. Anything produced by Val Lewton had great atmosphere. Lewton never had any budget, so he had to use creativity to make his films work. Don't miss.

creeped me out more than all the Romero films.
Its based on a true story.

the book's author was way off-base with much of the voudoun (yes, I do know from direct experience)...

Movies about zombies??? I'm not sure what the BEST one is, but the film with the MOST zombies is whatever film features the most rePubes...

More on "Serpent & Rainbow"

<snip...>
As if his pharmacological conclusions were not controversial enough, Davis wrote a overheated and fictionalized book about his time in Haiti that reads like the first draft for a Hollywood movie with Davis himself as an Indiana-Jones-type hero. This book, titled The Serpent and the Rainbow, did, indeed, become the basis for the latest Hollywood insult to Haiti, a movie of the same title released to theaters on February 5, 1988, and appropriately made by the director of "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

This book has to read to fully appreciate what Davis is about in his second book, Passage of Darkness, which is advertised as the scholarly product. Leaving aside the pharmacological controversy, the arguments of Davis hang by very thin threads and are related to his efforts to read into Haitian history and contemporary society more sensational and strange happenings than are actually there.

Without a doubt..."return of the living dead"...Clu Gulager...and a host of disposable teenagers...fantastic music...and directed by the same guy that co-wrote alien and night o the living dead...also...a totally nude teen age girl dancing on a tomb...

who insisted that since the movie started with "Based on a true story", it HAD to be true otherwise the movie ratings people wouldn't let them put that line in the beginning!

You mean the movie lied!!!?

Very gruesome, very amusing at the same time.

I loved it.
