Has anyone else realised that Day of the Dead is just one overdrawn screamer video, watch the ending.

I love the George A. Romero film, if that's what we're talking. It got an unfair shake from fans of the series. Night is and will always be the greatest zombie movie ever, but I would say that Day is stronger than Dawn. If I had to rate the series.

1. Night of the Living Dead. (Original.)
2. Day of the Dead.
3. Dawn of the Dead (Zak Snyder remake.)
4. Dawn of the Dead.
5.
6.
7. Land of the Dead
8. Diary of the Dead.

Slappy,

How about the original Night of the Living Dead (1968)?

That's what I put on the top of my list, or at least I intended to.

There's a remake?

Oh, right, The Tom Savini business. Never seen it, but read about it in Fangoria back a while back.

I'd put the remake above the original. It keeps the same theme (even does it better if you ask me), empowering women all the while.

Well, Tom Savini is skills, so I'll check it out. I don't think George Romero was ever really as good as he would seem to be in the hearts of Zombie fans, but he was certainly about it early on.

I hate zombies with a passion. I just know I'm going to fall into one of these scenarios eventually.

P.S. I haven't seen the entirety of any of these films.
