Worst zombie film ever...

[Rocksa]

House of the Dead II was pretty flippin' awful. Yes, they made a sequel. Yes, it's awful. The plot was as idiotic as can get. Basically you have this team of psuedo-scientist zombie hunters trying to find 'patient zero' the first zombie, just so they can get a blood sample and make a cure for the zombie virus. 'Patient Zero' turns out to be the girl who was stabbed and brought back to life in the first movie, she's been locked up on a college campus by her crazy father who wants to study her, yet somehow she's started numerous zombie outbreaks around the world that have been going on for the last 10 to 20 years despite her just being locked up and a zombie for about a year.

Other than that, those two new Return of the Living Dead movies were pretty bad. Think they were Necropolis and Rave to the Grave. Necropolis was bad, but had that B movie feel that made it alright to be so bad. Basic story was this group of kids trying to save their friend from this evil corporation's underground lab where they were making zombies. In the end they face an army of zombies. Rave to the Grave is a direct sequel and picks up with the same kids (the surviving ones anyway) in college, they get an old oil drum with a zombie and some strange chemicals in it, and decide to make the liquid into a superdrug that they sell to everyone they can. Oddly, they're fricken' suprised when zombies show up, and act as if they have no idea what the things are.

Somebody at work told me about a zombie film with a gay zombie as the main star. I'm not sure what the hell its about on any level, but it sounds bad.

I saw this one called Doomed. It's not even worth it. Don't look it up.
Reality show on an island filled with zombies. Convicts sent to survive the island. Winner gets money and a clean slate.
The moral: Biggest jerk wins then gets killed through the polar opposite of deus ex machina.

I am embarrassed to say this, but I have actually watched that movie. Twice. I forgot how bad it was the first time around and tried to watch it again...huge mistake.

As a connoisseur of zombie movies (I own 100+ of them) I have to say the absolute worst out of my entire collection is Awaken the Dead.

It has a priest who holes up in a house in the suburbs because a secret organization told him to, with a wise-cracking(read:*****) woman who reveals for no absolute reason 3/4ths of the way through, something to the effect of "oh btw I'm a prostitute." and that's it. No explanation whatsoever why. Then at the very end of the movie they fight a dude that

Spoiler

Is the prostitutes DAD *gasp*

and everyone lives happily ever after.

OR DO THEY?

I can't give you a better plot synopsis because that is seriously the extent the plot. Why was that movie even made.

Also,

Somebody at work told me about a zombie film with a gay zombie as the main star. I'm not sure what the hell its about on any level, but it sounds bad.

I think that movie is called "Creatures of the Pink Lagoon" gay zombies attacking gay guys in a house. :/

House of the dead or Diary of the dead

The "New" Dawn of the Dead movie. For two reasons, first the zombies were running. Last time I checked, zombies weren't too good at anything beyond a very determined shuffle. And second, when the fat chick comes in with a huge bite mark on here and the chick who watched her boyfriend/husband turn into one right after the zombie girl bit him and does or says nothing.

I like the running thing, everyone else copied it (res evil3, 28 days later, er and others)

With out stupid people there would be no zombie apocalypse, but agreed on the fat chick (who's really a dude)

I think 28 days later came first, and zombie movies subsequently got the idea of running zombies from that, because in 28 days they aren't technically zombies, just rage infected people, so they aren't rotting, just starving, and can still run without their legs snapping off.

That actually sounds pretty good.

DIARY OF THE FUCKING DEAD I HATED IT SOOO FUCKING MUCH HOLY CHRIST.
its a knockoff of cloverfield and its soooooooooooo boring and its sooooooooooo fucking annoying and oethj4htq thats how pissed it made me.

 

[Not Good]

Do the movies where Jason Voorhees is undead count as zombie movies at all? Because if so, Friday the 13th: Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan was pretty fucking terrible.

That's a good question. And considering he's undead yeah that's pretty bad.

Yeah, it sounds good, but trust me, it's awful. Their budget was probably 1,000 dollars and it shows. Unless you like to laugh at how bad a movie is, then avoid it.

Zombie movies are kind of crap by definition, aren't they?

You have a bunch of (dead) people stumbling about and groaning and some people get eaten. That's pretty much it.

I really think your being a bit too harsh. You simply can't lump all zombie movies up like that. It's like me saying all superhero movies are cartoony, but look at the Dark knight.

 

[Flap Jack452]

The Resident Evil one, that was friggin horrible.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

I think we can all agree that from now on the term 'Zombie Apocalypse' will be shortened simply to 'Zombocalypse'. You're welcome.

Ok, I don't know how well it'd work, but I really wouldn't mind seeing a zombie flick faithfully based on World War Z. A documentary/flashback type of movie.

Also, I know this thread is more about bad zombie flicks, but Fido was fantastic. Cheesy as all hell, but it was seriously good.

I can't bring myself to watch Zombie Strippers. Won't even seek it out, actually. And 28 Days Later was only zombie-esque in nature. Not technically a zombie flick. They were still live people merely exhibiting zombie-like tendencies. Also, the speed thing? Good for a jump thrill, but not good for the slow, nerve shattering, relentless destruction of your psyche by an ever present, single-minded antagonist such as the true zombie.

Damn, the more I think about it, the more I really do want to see World War Z in a flick. Flashbacks of people clearing out the United States walking into their own homes? Could be powerful shit. A 'serious' zombie flick, much in the same way the book wasn't just schlock bullshit pseudo-horror.

Also, a bit of a ramble there, huh?

After buying Uwe Boll's Alone in the Dark for ?1 and feeling ripped off, I have lost the ability of mocking films for its poor quality. Nowadays, it just hurts.
