Got a new entry in my "Bad Zombie Movie Collection". Proof positive the Brits can't make a good plausible zombie flick.
Of course, very little gun use - none actually til the survivors get out of London and stumble onto a unit of sex-starved Brit soldiers. Did I mention two of the survivors are good looking girls . . . ?
Only decent scene was when the zombies tried a mass attack on the soldier's stronghold. Those Brit Bullpups were chattering like mad. Hey, at least the danged things work in zombie movies - wish they worked as well against sandbox Tangos. Well, zombies aren't that bright - they got chopped into zombie-burger pretty quick.
Almost as good as the Redneck Hunters scene in the old classic - "Dawn Of The Dead".
A solid "don't buy" unless you like really Bad Zombie Movies. I'm hooked . . .
I like the old Romero Zombie movies...the Dawn of the Dead 2004 remake sucked bigtime..I liked 28 days later though..I thought it was well thought out and as far as zombie movies go plausible..because the zombies were people infected with a chemical weapon virus that was called "Rage" that made them want to kill the uninfected :assult:
No, I haven't caught it yet. If it hits Wally World, I'll probably pick it up.
Anybody remember the old movie "The Comet", with a young Leia Thompson? A comet passes the earth, and it's tail causes dead people to rise as Zombies. Pretty hokie. Leia and another cute chick are sisters, who's missing Dad was some kind of SpecOps type. One scene, they are given MAC10's to use - the younger sister turns her nose up and says "Daddy would've gotten us Uzis!" Bwahahaha!

It's called Night of the Comet. But Leia Thompson wasn't in it. You're thinking of Catherine Mary Stewart. It was on a local channel the other night, I watched it to see Catherine. One fine looking woman. Robert Beltran, LtCmdr Chacotay of Star Trek: Voyager fame was also in the film. It's one of those films, it's so cheesy it's good.
This likable exploitation movie, witty throughout, opens with the light from a comet (an idea stolen from John Wyndham's Day Of The Triffids), destroying almost everybody by turning them into red dust or, in the less severe cases, cannibal zombies. Two spunky teenage girls survive, team up with a truck driver, raid department stores for fashionable clothes, destroy the evil government agency that wants to kill them for serum, do disco dances and shoot submachine guns. As one might expect from the producers of Valley Girl (1984), the women are shown as self-reliant, intelligent, unmotivated and vain.
"28 Days Later" is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I do not mean that in a good way. While I was watching it I constantly thought "But...that makes no sense at all!"

Actually I thought the point was hot sorority girls going skinny-dipping. This was completely absent from the film, meaning that it was devoid of any artistic merit.
