There's no zombie product that ever really respects the zombies for what they are except for Resident Evil. Mostly they are nothing but a plot device for the humans that are mostly forgetful. The theme of "Humans are the real monsters" unoriginal and yet is the spearheaded theme behind almost every Zombie product. It's a damn shame. I love zombie games and movies but if I sense it goes to those dumbass stereotypical routes then I will turn if off.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if a zombie situation happened, but then I hope it ends up being kinda short-lived, and things go back to normal after half a year at most.

What happens after zombies succeed in eating all humans or turning them all into zombies? How would they survive withiut that food supply? Would zombies start to eat other zombies? How would that effect them?

IRL it would. Don't let movies fool you. A military group with military weapons would make short work of an army of zombies.

Exactly. Imagine all the plots and wonders the depths of zombies could go and yet all Hollywood wants to feed us is "Humans are the real monster. Zombies are just there lol".

I think depending on the incarnation, the "eating" is more about a means of spreading the contagion than it is a means of food for zombies.

I dunno, actually make them evolve kinda like RE style? Slow at first but if body is not destroyed properly it comes back as a Crimson head. If the zombie let lived for too long then it transform into a Licker. Things like that. You gotta respect the monster. A lot of zombie shit have no origin of the virus and I really hate that. I love a good origin spin on it.

Not with that attitude.

I've been writing just for myself and I have a few independent filmmakers interested in some of my stuff. I'm not expecting or even wanting to be the next big thing but you never know. 50 Shades of Gray started out as Twilight fan fiction.

Gotta ask though, you know where the origin of the modern zombie comes from right? He sadly passed away very recently but you know what he created and used zombies for in his iconic series ya?

On topic though a few do it well. The aforementioned series as well as 28 days later.

Well, the zombies in The Evil Within are manifestation of someone's wicked dream world and the zombies in Doom are not virus based but dimensional hell based.

I'm not a writer. I'm a speculator and just have these different views is all. It's nothing extreme. I fully accept things are the way the are because of our current society.

Come to think of it, Romero's zombies evolved to learn how to use weapons and develop feelings.

Also not a zombie movie per-se but I thought the craziez remake from like 2012 was a pretty solid take on the rage virus that did it well.

Good idea but bad movie. They did the whole "You go that way and I go this way, let's split up at times of horror" stereotype. Sorry but that kills my vibe in almost any kind of horror movies these days.

Train To Busan

Saw it and liked it. It went 0-60 real quick and a great thriller. My only complaint is that there was way too much crying dramatic parts in it but it's a 9/10 for sure. I also liked Girl with All the Gifts. Great spin to zombie flicks.

Same. The original was the same. Cool concept but poor execution. The only thing I liked was watching the sheriff develope as he progressed but that's the only reason I mentioned it. Give a hint of what it was and how it spread, showed the plane that went down then showed how the people deteriorated.

Left a lot to be desired but did some things right.

One of my biggest issues in zombie movies/media in general is that either the humans win and escape/cure everything against all odds, or they end up getting shot or one last zombie jumps out at them or something. I like the few where the zombies definitively win and take over.

The same goes for most horror movies overall, really. The heroes either win, or kind of ambiguously lose with a teaser thing at the end via a last minute jump scare or something. I think it's fun to see the bad guys definitively win once in a while, be it zombies or vampires or anything else. Depressing endings are fun.

Even though Space Dandy was an overall disappointment I really appreciated it's zombie episode. Would be cool if there was an entire show or movie that expanded on that setup.
