I am not sure why but Brandon loves zombie movies. I guess he gets it from me partially because of my love for twisted horror films. Today I asked him to write up a lil something for my blog about his favorite movies, so here it is.

I like zombie movies because it’s like a whole different world. They all ways start off with some type of experiment or disease. In 28 days later it’s an massive disease in Great Britain. In 28 weeks later the Americans cleanse the area, but it comes back and makes it’s way in to Paris. In the Resident Evil trilogy it’s all about the T-Virus which is a experimental drug to enhance the strength of the military troops that went bad and spread. Dawn of the dead it is a mysterious disease that spreads across the world. Quarantine was sick, it’s based on a advanced Rabies type disease. In the movie I am legend, its based on a so called cure for cancer, that goes bad.

My ratings on the following:

28 Days / Weeks Later: Awesome
Resident Evil Trilogy: Awesome
Dawn of the Dead: Cool
Quarantine: Scary
I am Legend: Okay

Here are a few of his favorites, now while some of them are not considered zombies they are commonly considered to be or zombieish. I’m looking for suggestions on others, and who else loves a good zombie movie?

I just recently acquired this 8 Movie set and can’t wait to watch them all. So far the only movie I have seen is Lake Dead. If any of them really grab my attention I will make sure to let you know.
