Zombies haven't been cool since the early 2010's

Zombies are retarded, one winter would annihilate them all

>what about places with no winter

Their muscles deterioriate and they would be all neutralized within a year just by themselves

>b-but zombies are magical

Then why are they presented in scenarios and settings that want to emulate real life drama so badly? Shit fucking genre

Walking dead (the show) killed zombies. After they gained mainstream popularity everybody started shitting out zombie content until it became a big ol stinkin pile of oversaturated horse piss. And yet in all that content, very few people realized what made a zombie movie so great in the first place: the fucking intial outbreak. You don't need to overthink it, you don't need to explain why it happened, or show society trying to rebuild, or waste time with bullshit human drama, or have humans be the real villains, etc.. Just show people getting caught off guard by a horde of undead cannibals ripping thru a town leaving blood and gore in their wake. It only needs to be one night or so, cuz anything longer than that the zombies would get their shit pushed in. I'm trans btw

Yes, but that's because most Zombie movies get it wrong. In fact the time, when a mainstream director / team of writers could have gotten the Zombie Apocalypse genre right has passed. They fundamentally didn't get it, but now with the woke mind virus having spread so far, it's impossible for them to get it right.

Zombie movies used to be spiritually hopeful fiction for young Millennial men like myself. To be free of the modern world, the social prison, to have the freedom and power to shape your own destiny. Zombies were just a prop to make that happen in the backstory. They aren't all that important to the story. What matters is that men are unburdened by all of the bullshit of the modern world and be real men again.

Dead zombies are cringe, unless the setting is magical/fantastical

>>220581875
Depends on how it works. Some are reanimated corpses, some are viruses or other diseases that kill the person and then reanimate them, and some just hijack a living persons body or warp their mind to be hyper violent but still "alive"

genre got milked dry and won't recover for awhile
it might never

Is there anything original you can do with zombies without subverting them into something completely different?

>>220583802
I remember reading the walking dead comics and they started off great back in the early 00s era. But then as it progressed robert cuckman started to introduce more and more DEI shit into it. Which is crazy to think that the identity politics of our world somehow spilled over into a zombie apocalypse. A world that collapsed about 10 years before the rise of wokism. He literally had to check every box: gays, fats, muslims, smart heroic blacks, badass female latinx warriors/leaders, disables, more gays, indians, a muslim cucking a white, all the villains being white men, there may have been a midget or 2 idk, more blacks, etc... I don't even mind having some of those things in a story, but the way he does it is so fuckin obviously pandering. He's trying to please a demographic who most likely never even bought a single one of his comics.

slow zombies are zzz

>>220584764
Orginal? Probably not, and I actually think people trying to be original is what killed the genre. The thing that made it work was the eerie slow-walking corpses (some of whom were your loved ones) grotesquely moaning as they scratch and claw their way into your home to devour you.

>Didn't they already cancel this?

>>220584764
I've had this idea where zombies were a mind-virus that manifested when people got to a critical mass.
Get enough people together and they'd become ravening hordes trying to rip apart anything they can get their hands on, let one get separated from the horde and their individuality would start to resurface.

>>220585644

Initial outbreak/breakdown of society which nobody wants to do because you're faced with the massive narrative contrivance of dumb slow moving corpses overwhelming the military

>>220581910
Videogames will keep them alive forever because they're easy to program

it needs to disappear for about another 5-10 years and then put out something that has romero style zombies and takes place right near the start of the outbreak and actually be good and successful and then you'll get your piles of zombie content slop again

Outbreak - People fight to survive, make camps, hoarde supplies, kill relatives, no communications or salvation
But wait, we found a cure! We have to stop people killing zombies
Unbreak - Military rush to gather survivors and administer vaccines to zombies before rowdy gangs and people who lost hope kill zombies or themselves.

Are there any movies about rednecks hunting zombies?

We Bury the Dead did it well. They're still technically alive but their brains are scrambled.

I got so burned out on zombies, but I'm ready to return to them. What's the best zombie kino? Dawn of the Dead?

I like traditional slow zombie masses, not this fast running rage virus 28 days later bullshit.

>>220586100
That's because everyone thinks too big. In Night Of The Living Dead, armed people easily dispatch the zombies, but the movie focuses on a group of unarmed people trapped in a house and it's fucking great. Zombie movies should take place during the initial outbreak and should be small enough in scale that it's believable people could get caught off guard in an isolated or less than ideal situation and have to fight for survival until help arrives. That's the true key to great zombie kino.

>>220591476
Night of the Living Dead

>>220591527
I discovered "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" (1972) a couple of years back, and actually liked it quite a bit.

To summarize: it's about a very Manson family-esque theater troupe who go to an island off the coast of Miami to perform a satanic ritual in the cemetery there, and things happen.

To my knowledge, it's credited as the second major modern zombie movie after Night of the Living Dead, and it's also kind of a proto-Evil Dead, because the zombies are a supernatural product of an incantation from a satanic grimoire.

The horror stuff is really only in the last 20 minutes or so too. Most of it is a black comedy where the characters trade genuinely witty barbs with each other. It's co-written and directed by Bob Clark, the guy who directed Black Christmas, Porky's and A Christmas Story.

If you have a fair tolerance level for cheesy early-70s wardrobe and slightly hokey (but still effectively creepy) zombie makeup, there's a fun movie to be had in there. Though it may have also helped that I was on mushrooms the first time I saw it.

>>220583802

No, you don't. The whole point of zombies for most of the genre is that they are supernatural. Impossibly, the dead started walking and the chaos caused society to crumble. It was only decades in that they finally decided to make "realistic" zombies and it turned to shit.

>>220591710

Make that the 90s. Zombies stopped being interesting when they just became "muh infected humans". Blame Resident Evil and 28 years later. All the zombie content in the 2000s was straight cringe.

>>220591609
While a comedy, Shaun of the Dead basically did this. The tension comes from it being a small group of unarmed doofuses who have no idea what the bigger picture is, the Zombies are instantly defeated once the military shows up.

They tried that with Fear of the walking dead, and that show shat it's pants by season 3.

>>220597142
It was fine up to the mid-00s. I kind of consider "Land of the Dead" to be the end of it. '96-'05 was the height of the second wave, then there was the decline when Romero was putting out his indie garbage, and then The Last of Us/The Walking Dead turning the whole thing essentially into a grandma-friendly soap opera is when it had jumped the shark.

I can't believe nobody has done a real world war Z series that actually follows the book. It would be kino.

I don't get the appeal of showing the intial outbreak. Every story is just the characters looking for a loved one or EVAC/FEMA camp between mental breakdowns and running away from zombies in a city.

>>220581875
I watched the Daryl Dixon Walking Dead spin off. it was ok. but it clearly is way too much a show about people and less about zombies.
>INB4 that's what the walking dead was always about
nah, this is WAY to focused on the melodrama.
we need a new Zombies show.
Make it 5 seasons. start it off normal. everyday life is a boring Monday. release the zombies. make people try and survive. give there a rising action of finding a cure. make difficult sacrifices. then finish the show by finding the cure.
all this Walking Dead milking shit has gone on long enough. someone can come in and just make a 3-5 season show about zombies with a good ending so the walking dead fans been blue balled with no meaningful resolution can have a show.

The first episode was cool, but then it turned into dork wish fulfillment/fanservice dreck, and immediately fell off a cliff.

The only interesting part of zombie stories is that first couple weeks when the world is falling apart. People used to modern convenience suddenly without power and clean water, with hostile creatures everywhere.
Nobody cares about long term shit when we have to go back to ~1800s living with no cars or gas or hot pockets. That shit is boring.

>>220599805
I think the World War Z book handled it best, where the US government basically gathered up all the most essential personnel and retreated west of the Rockies, and all of the settlements and enclaves that you see emerge in zombie media that goes months or even years into the future keep the hordes occupied and distracted from trying to follow the government westward. They even have designations for different situations like "Last Man on Earth" situations, settlements that are strategically advantageous so they keep in contact and even airdrop supplies and personnel as needed to keep them going, and the hostile Negan-type enclaves that they have to send in special forces to take out as they start retaking the continent.

it was soooo fucking bad, jesus, its just a foid movie about girl power
zombies dont even matter and show up few times, if you cut them and replaced them with covid, or aids, the plot wouldnt change one bit

husband of this chick cheated on her and left her and died in next town over, now she need to find his body for "closure", hell you could set it in normal world and have her travel from city to next town and it would be exactly the same movie

The zombie genre is eternal, but the corners of the map have been filled in and you either need someone with a great new idea or someone really talented to do the same old story again in order for there to be another generational hit. The problem with the latter is that these auteur types don't like walking in others' footsteps, but they absolutely could make a good standard zombie movie if they wanted to.

Something really interesting that needs a good adaptation is World War Z with humanity's centuries-old history of near-misses with outbreaks where they were small scale and fizzled out before they became noticed by the world or where covered up by the government, long before the proper global pandemic happened. One of them was in the '80s where a contaminated blood transfusion in a hospital turned a patient and chaos erupted while they tried to figure out what was going and what to do. Another was in the 1600s where a ship was found drifting at sea full of zombies. The Roanoke Colony was also implied to be a casualty of an outbreak. They were short blurbs that were never fully delved into, but an anthology of these could be GOLD in the right hands, probably even better than the main story.

This isn't like Downsizing where you can replace

with
>Matt Damon loses everything in a divorce and moves to Florida
And the rest of the movie can almost scene for scene continue identically. You would have to change everything about the fabric of the movie to make We Bury The Dead work without the premise of everyone in New Zealand dying and some of them coming back as zombies. There's almost no scenes that could stay the same.

Rather then being magical the idea is that they funtion in ways we cannot comprehend with our current understanding of science and that in part plays a role in their creepiness factor.

Have a cure already exist and some people risking their lives to capture zombies to treat them while other people don't care and still gun them down. The drugs to cure them are also scarce which creates black market shenanigans or people trying to hoard them for their own family and friends.

the movie cant decide if zombies get more smart or more agressive and animalistic, so it goes for both

still its not untill last third where you really realize how pointless the zombies were, its just 2 people partying, buring a dead man, and drama bonding

Cold weather has the bad habit of freezing liquids. Pour liquid in a stone crack and when it freezes it can break the stone. Same happens to the flesh, brains and bones of zombies when the old blackened blood freezes inside their veins.

What's your opinion on the plant based zombies such as in The Last of Us and The Girl with all the Gifts? I feel like these would have the highest success rate because they are basically nature telling us to fuck off. Zombie spores being airborne would be catastrophic on the human population. These zombies are also hybrid plants so they get nutrients from the sun and water too. Thoughts?

Zombies in most movies are boring. It's nuts to me that videogames have far more interesting use cases at times with way more varied designs, and sometimes even animal zombies or monsters and chimeras.

God forbid I want to make my setting grounded whilst also dealing with an existential threat of undead people who can't freeze or deteriorate, as that would negate any tension or problem solving. I do not understand why everyone fails at this one aspect when it comes to zombie settings. They've simply made the rule (retroactively or not is irrelevant) that zombies will not deteriorate from bacteria or other natural occurrences, yet every moron likes to point out this one aspect because apparently "zombies are hecking real and must abide by real world logic!!".
No they don't. What if their lack of decay is something that's part of the mystery? What if it really is supernatural? Would that take your enjoyment out of an otherwise grounded story?

Freezing causes cellular damage like it does to a freezer-burnt steak or extreme frostbite. Once the cellular damage has occurred, it's permanent. So, a walking dead organism would merely be a temporary problem. Not to mention loss of motor function, blood pressure, neural activity, etc. It's a cheap concept for a spoopy monster. A cool monster idea, but it's been carried to extremes.

Why not?

>>220605429
Because they're made of atoms.

You're making a lot of speculations on zombie biology.

>>220605456
prove it

It's wild this is so unknown on /tv/. I've tried recommending it before and anons just refuse. They thing "mini series" and "foreign" so it must be bad. But it's better than most american zombie flicks kek.

Good morning Ranjesh, enjoy your stay on the board

I disagree. A reanimated cadaver would be subject to the same cellular and chemical behavior as a living human.
>Cellular function
>Organ function
>The five senses
Dead things would still require integument of muscles and organ function to move around. If the tendons in your foot decomposed, you couldn't walk. If you were embalmed after death, you could not function biologically.

By it's nature it could not be subject to the same cellular and chemical behavior as a living human.
>Dead things would still require integument of muscles and organ function to move around.
Muscles and nerves yes, organs (with the exeption of some parts of the brain) no.

>>220605741
The Last of Us treated this phenomenon best. An infectious fungus that dosen't kill the host organism, but changes it suit its dissemination and survival. A dead body will gradually loose function.

>>220605819
I don't think it's a problem if zombies funtion that defies our understanding of the world, i think it's a feature.

In that case, it's a purely supernatural creature. It might be able to fly and poop gold coins. It's completely contrary to everything in nature.

Not nessecarily, the idea is simply that they function in ways that we humans can not understand.

I can accept the possibility of strange things existing.
>Bigfoot, ayyas, and other creatures
These things all conform to physical science as humans understand it. A zombie would be on the same level as a ghost, a completely supernatural thing that cannot be understood because it defies everything in existence. If the unknown is an argument you wish to advocate for, then I can't help you.

There are still like three different Walking Dead spinoffs on the air.

>>220606212
I thought it was a man-made satellite that crashed in that kino. The radiation reanimated dead bodies, not a 'reverse entropy' virus.

>>220603663
Yeah I never watched it at the time it came out because I expected it to be dogshit, but it's genuinely one of the best zombie films/shows ever mad.

Why?

>>220606344
*made

>>220606243
You can accept the possibility of strange things existing but only if it conform to physical science as humans understand it. This is a flaw on your part because humans don't have a compleate understanding physical science.

>>220606354
How else might it maintain the chemical processes needed for basic biological function? Am I the only anon here that understands biology and physical science?!

>>220606426
But it's not functioning biogically. It's dead.

>>220606408
True. But I do know that things made of flesh and blood on Earth cannot move around once cellular decay has rotted their muscles away. Skeletons cannot walk without magic.

>>220606454
... Yet it moves and eats and sees through rotting eyes. That's physically impossible. You speak of fantasy.

You could have a fungus do that or maybe a massive colony of bugs (speaking speculatively).

>the thing that is definitely 100% happening within the logic and universe of the piece of media is physically impossible by a real life standard, and yet it is definitely still happening in that universe, and yet it MUST therefore be subject to the same laws of physics and biological processes as real life, despite not doing so, almost definitively, just by existing
