Zombie movie experience

posted on August 31st, 2008 (08:17 PM) in The Great Escape

So lately I've been trippin' mostly on zombie movies.  I know it sounds absolutely stupid, and for the most part it is.  But if you're looking for a no-brainer (cos they eat your brains, yo! and practically everything else) stupid fun, then zombie movies are the way to go.

This sudden interest began one night on my way home, while in the fx.  No, i did not sit beside a zombie, nor did the guy beside me smell like a flesh-eater.  I was minding my own business when my eyes drifted on the ipod screen of the guy beside me.  He was watching a movie where there's a bunch of people looking military-like inside trucks being followed by crows.  Then all of a sudden, crows started attacking the group of people.  Then, one of the guys stood on top of the truck and blasted fire all over the crows.  Fire was suddenly made bigger by some girl who stared at it.  Knowing nothing except that description, I narrated the whole thing to stupex, and he told me it was prolly resident evil 3.  Danggit!  Boy was right!  So off we went to Metrowalk, and bought all 3 dvds.

Zombie marathon flicks now include:

  • Resident Evil
  • Resident Evil: Apocalypse
  • Resident Evil: Extinction
  • Zombie Strippers
  • Shaun of the Dead
  • Fido

I couldn't really call this review cos if you're looking for cerebral fun, these aren't the movies for you.  No, they aren't real classy nor scary either, we just watch it for the carnage, and the silliness.

 

RESIDENT EVIL

The plot was pretty simple:  There is an evil multinational corporation called Umbrella, who has an underground lab called the Hive.  The Hive has been producing some weird stuff that makes brings back the dead people back to life, ergo, zombies.  Now, some bright guy threw it out in one of the labs causing the mother computer to go homicidal.  After the computer killing ramapage, some military people were sent to shut off psycho-computer.  But of course, she picked on them one by one.  Apparently, killing rampage was triggered off to prevent zombie from going to the real world; but because everybody thinks killing is evil, nobody realized it was actually for the greater good.

Source of awesomeness:

zombie dogs! 

who would've thought really.  Ok fine, those PS players know, but, shutup!

James "One" Shade vs. the Queen

RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE

The part two has pretty much the same plot points, although, instead of the zombies being stuck in the Hive, the attack was in Raccoon city.  Also Jill Valentine was pretty hot.  Almost everything's the same 'cept they have other so-so creatures that were more of a killer than the zombies.

Source of awesomeness:

zombie kids seriously freaked me out (and yeah, they still got the dogs)

RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION

Most prolly the last installment of the RE movies.  Unless they plan on using a hundred Alice walking around the story.  This time, the evil undead rules the world.  The last few survivors are now in need of a zombie-free place.  Here we meet Claire Redfield. 

Alaska anyone?

Source of awesomeness:

zombie crows (their screen time was short, but they were the fun-nest)

ZOMBIE STRIPPERS

I think the title speaks for itself.  Stripper joint ruled by zombies.  B movie made FTW!

source of awesomeness:

  + 

zombie strippers + billiard balls = think thai's red district, only zombified

SHAUN OF THE DEAD

Zombie comedy with some pop culture reference to 28 days later, Night of the living dead and Dawn of the dead.  It's silly, and funny, and that's all the synopsis you need.

source of awesomeness:

It's just made of WIN!

FIDO

A boy with a pet zombie.  Haven't seen it yet, so maybe next time. *tee-hee*

It's funny, I was about to buy a DVD with all of those movies on one disc! Well, maybe except Shaun of the Dead. I bought another disc with The Number 23 instead. I am currently playing Silent Hill 2, which should probably explain why I'm in a horror mood lately. It's creepier than Resident Evil, by the way. Still gives me goosebumps. *shivers*
