I know, I know. This may be coming out of left field. But zombies are becoming too popular. Watch the Walking Dead TV show if you get a chance because a zombie TV show is a great idea, but zombie movies are becoming way too popular and subsequently way too mainstream.
We don't want the teenage girls getting a hold of this and screwing it up like they did vampires and then werewolves. We have to hold the line here, people. This is our last stand for horror genres. Stop watching zombie movies.
And you can start stopping with "Survival of the Dead". That piece of shit proved both that the zombie thing is getting old and that George Romero has lost sight of the genre he created. Just stop for a while, see how it feels. I can't live in a world that makes the PG-13 zombie movie a reality.

I always think that people who yell "Don't make [insert movie, album, book] because then it'll be mainstream!!" just a tad bit selfish.
I understand your point but the joy of zombies must be shared with all.

Dammit Sean, just when I'm sitting here with a pile of unwatched zombie DVD´s. All perfectly non-mainstream. You know, I´m just gonna watch them anyway.  |

Fine. But watch "Survival of the Dead" and tell me if they're not maybe churning them out way too fast. PP&Z should be fun, but I saw a zom-com in the store starring Napolean Dynamite. I'm not saying give it up, I'm just saying rein it in a little. And you can watch the Walking Dead. It's pretty awesome so far.

Thank goodness, Gilbert has relented now we have permission to watch Zombie movies again. I was worried there for a moment that I'd never be allowed to watch them again!

In 5 minutes I will go and watch The Blind Dead movies that I've been planning on watching finally... or at least get through two of them... Since a friend told me the monsters are actually more mummies then zombies do they count as zombie movies? And they're not in any way mainstream so I guess I'm save either way  |

Yeah Sean, do mummies count as zombies? Can I still watch my favourite Brendan Fraser movies?

Those are action movies, not horror. Even The Walking Dead bothers me a little, because of their use of CG blood spatters. It's corn syrup, people! Do we really need to bring computers into this?

I especially hate cg blood splatters on the camera. Takes you out of the action.

Is survival of the dead the one where the army guys end up on the new england island with the two feuding families? That one really was hoooorrrribbbbllle. Bottom line: zombie movies work when they have a realistic atmosphere and treat the zombies like a genuine threat. Anything short of that is going to be campy (at best).

The premise of an island controlled by 2 Irish families is stupid before zombies even come into it. And all the characters are unforgivably bad, so you don't care if they die. And somehow the whole thesis is predicated on whether or not they can get a zombie to eat a horse, which is even dumber than it sounds. Congratulations, Romero, you've finally made the worst zombie movie ever.

They should have got the Zombie Greg, he'd eat a horse.
