Zombies

Happy Halloween! Keeping with this week's theme of scary movies that are worth a watch, we move on to zombie movies.

Zombie movies traditionally have been low budget films. They have gained a lot of attention recently with the release of World War Z starring Brad Pitt. This film is unfortunately, despite the big budget and international release, is not the best Zombie flick.

Ones that I think are definitely worth a watch are listed below:

Zombieland - Woody Harrelson rocks in this incredibly entertaining movie. Fantastic choice of actor for the role. He nails it.

Shaun of the Dead - a very funny UK zombie film that is from the guys that make an equally funny series called Spaced and an equally good film called Hot Fuzz

Army of Darkness - as with the other Evil Dead movies, this one is fantastic

Night of the Living Dead - a cult classic by George Romero, one of the grandfathers of Zombie films

Dawn of the Dead - another George Romero classic

Braindead - aka Dead Alive - Peter Jackson's version of a Zombie movie. Very gory, quite funny and worth a watch.

La Horde - a French Zombie classic

Mutants - some would argue that it isn't a Zombie movie but I would argue it is. My preference is for the French version over the US one.

Grindhouse - if you like Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino films, this one is definitely for you. Great, great film.

Nightmare City - Italian Zombie film that is definitely worth a watch for those who love Zombie movies.

Zombie - Another Italian Zombie film - definitely worth a watch and is still quite a scary film despite its dated 70s soundtrack

Land of the Dead - Dennis Hopper is fantastic in this film directed by George Romero

That's it for today. Have a wonderful night everyone that is going trick or treating or attending a Halloween party. Tomorrow we will wrap up the scary movie theme with Ghosts.
