Do you like zombies in movies?

Just decided to start a poll about this subgenre of horror films.

I liked this one:
Warm Bodies (film) - Wikipedia

Being in the medical field has ruined me on the whole concept of zombies. Heck, it's ruined me on anything with a medical component. Every time..."Would never happen", "Ridiculous.", "Doesn't work like that.", etc.

I can enjoy some "check your brains in at the door" productions, but for some reason I can't let go of my logic centers when it comes to certain things. One part of my brain understands that it's fiction, the other part of my brain is screaming, "Seriously!? You didn't even try to make it believable!"

Sort of but I'm kind of bored with the zombie thing.

That said, I really did like 28 Days Later and the idea of the rage zombie. The slow moving zombies just aren't frightening to me.

For zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead, is unparalleled.

My greatest disappointment was World War Z. I read the book then saw the movie and the only common element is the title. From the book, the mass of zombies was frightening even though they were not fast.

After so many years of the "Walking Dead" Universe, why didn't most of them continue to decompose to a point of a pile of mush where they were unable to move at all?

I'm still watching Negan, Maggie and Daryl and Carol...but it got old a long time ago. With the story line gradually moving away from the terror of walkers to the terror of homicidal apocalyptic humans. Maybe they can surprise us with Maggie's son Hershel finally killing Marion Negan, who dies with a smile on his face as fate finally catches up with him. How else can this end?

I know! Lucille deserts Negan and elopes with a Louisville Slugger!

BTW, Where's Carl ?????

I like the slow zombies like in the original versions of Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, return of the living dead, and the various zombie comedies like Shaun of the Dead, Fido, Warm Bodies, and Izombie

I loved "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) with all those zombies who could run full blast at the end.

Long before World War Z.

The new dawn of the dead was pretty good, albeit with fast zombies. That was definitely more scary than the original.

The original Dawn is my favorite horror and zombie movie of all time. It had so much going for it with the mall setting, back when malls were a thing and had diverse stores in them like groceries, restaurants, drug stores, gun shops, electronics, etc. it was a great concept for survival with comforts. A cool soundtrack helped

The original Day of the dead was in similar fashion with the subterranean bunker and caves. This one also had a cool soundtrack with a few songs in my personal library.

This is why the fast zombies are less interesting to me. Perpetual motion is not possible, same with perpetual energy. Without a supernatural influence zombies would be,,, short lived (pardon the pun)

Goes back to my comment about "The Walking Dead".

If they are decomposing, why would it be a process that seems to be hastened, enough for them to be falling apart yet still moving with the ability to bite and eat people?

But I suspect Hollywood expects everyone to check their brains at the door...allowing such considerations to be neatly swept under a rug no matter how implausible a plot may be.
