[31] I fully endorse theory number 5 Because that would help explain why they endlessly walk around in search of human flesh and when they get close they speed up a little, I mean it's so painfull on their joints to walk around and stuff but once they get in range of the human flesh that hunger temptation overcomes their pain and they lurch forward a few paces. |

[34] The only thing I didn't really like about 28 days later was the fact that you didn't see that many of the infected (zombies) running around. Otherwise, I took it for what it was, and enjoyed it. I liked the variation on how the infected came about in terms of story for the movie. And yes I did like the remake of the Dawn of the dead that came out a little bit ago. Though, the original is still one the best. The return of the living dead was also one I liked, despite the story being a little hokey. Nothing like seeing a mob of undead zombies running full-speed at you to try and eat you. Gaahh! Can't wait to see this Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse, looks very good on the preview trailer for the film. You even get to see a glimpse of the nemesis, and he looks awesome. |

[44] HOLY SNAP.....this thread is a zombie. Way to bump something from like 3 years ago. I always wondered why zombies don't just eat each other. ----- Any mistake I've made in spelling, grammar, or syntax, as well as any faulty cultural or historical statments should be attributed to me and not my nation of origin. |

[45] There is a zombie movie where they eat radioactive waste AND people! C.H.U.D. although the debate on if their zombies is still up. But it never ceases to amaze me how slow moving monsters always seem to be able to catch their prey no matter how fast the prey is. Yaknow? I mean heres a zombie shuffling at you. In the initial stages the human is too stupid to move and they keep asking the zombie if they're ok. I would think that if someone is coming after you slowly and they're not answering that it may be a good idea to move. I would also think the blank stare and possible bite marks, skin-rot, the slight green color, and most likely stench would be a dead give-away that this person is not 'o.k.' But it wouldn't really matter if you took off running because somehow the bloody monster keeps up with you even though they're doing nothing more than the Kansas City shuffle. Take Jason for instance. Half naked girl getting freaked out by the lake and in strolls Jason, not running at her but just strutting his stuff. Girl takes off sprinting like she's in the olympics and gets clear across the entire camp and wouldn't you know, Jason is actually in front of the poor damsel in distress. Now how did he get there? I personally think he waits for the victim to get out of line of sight then jumps into a '57 chevy roadster and gets to the next spot. And it's just absolutly amazing that no matter where you run theres always a party member that trips. Sometimes theres nothing even to trip over but that party member trips anyways. And then they forget how to walk completely and expect you to come back and pick their lazy butt up. J Lo and Ice Cube played in anaconda and I swear that J Lo couldn't walk ten steps without tripping. After the 3rd time I woulda just left her there thus giving me more time to get away from a giant snake. And where do the guns always go? Yaknow, zombies attack, or aliens, or some strange goo and suddenly theres no guns in sight. Hell even wal-mart carries guns and you mean to tell me that these people can't even find so much as a .22. No they gotta invent a flamethrower with a can of hairspray or they go grab a large kitchen knife. And mostly if you meet up with a ***** team of elite soldiers just get away from them as fast as you can. They always describe how they been through the toughest of the tough situations but as soon as one monster comes along they all roll over and die like they just came out of bootcamp. So when they show up just go the opposite direction. Or wait for them to die and come back for those guns. And mosty, this one boggles me the most, if your running from zombies, DON'T WALK THROUGH A GRAVEYARD. So many movies do I see the little fanactical squad decide to take a shortcut straight through a graveyard and sure enough somebody dies! Ok, no graveyard. And don't lock yourself into a morgue either just because they have a big solid door to hide behind. And stay away from the meat packing plants cause that just screams buffet. Go find a gunshop to bunker down in or something. And I've always wonder why zombies go after live people. I mean they look like a human so why don't they try to eat each other? Certainly would be a easier target to catch up to unless a person trips. It's thoughts like these that keep me up at night sometimes..... |

[49] Trying to find logic in any film other than 28 Days Later is pointless, since 28 Days Later is the one true zombie film. - I wish I was a three foot female doll with a watering can and heterochromatic eyes. |

[50] Edited by: Aenigma on 22/07/2007 08:06:23 'Useful' zombies appear in Planescape: Torment only. And since that was a one-of-a-kind game, it's impossible to see make-believe useful zombies. Dodgy logic, but it suffices for Monday morning hangover thoughts. Edit: Arr... necro |

[52] This is the kind of scientific explanation I have gathered from watching various zombie movies. Zombies are a human body that is taken over by a parasite. It starts as a virus, which then attacks the nervous system and the brain. It reduces the victim's brain into a submissive conscience, in order to have a greater effect in strengthening the victim's primal and instinctive thinking. The parasite influences this instinctive thinking in order to provoke its host into attacking other people and spreading the virus. Since many critical organs cease to function after the parasite takes control of the brain, the body is in a constant state of decay, therefore the parasite has the need to spread as quickly as possible. This causes direct infection of the brain to be most desired by the parasite, however contact with human blood in any fashion is enough for an infection. Zombies tend to use their teeth, as its most effective in drawing blood and getting to the brain. Due to the submissive state of the brain, it is absent of much common logic and situational awareness, limiting the body to only basic motor functions, and ability to only analyze its direct surroundings. This is why it is very difficult for a zombie to get up after it is knocked down, and why zombies tend to focus on brute force against a physical barrier, rather than searching for the "back door." Also, the parasite's manipulation of the hosts primal brain fuctions, is sometimes strong enough to stimulate the section responsible for speech, causing the zombie to uncontrollably mumble the word "brains" during a heightened state. Hope that sums it up. |

[53] Bah, you've all completely misunderstood why Zombies eat people. It's because we taste nice. Obviously when you find out isn't it |

[54]Originally by: Crumplecorn Thats wrong. If I recall correctly, in 28 days later humans where infected with a virus that made them attack other people, they are faster and stronger than the ordinary human but they arent the true "zombie" type. In fact, I dont remember them cannibalizing on humans either. Good movie yes, the true zombie movie? Hell no. For good zombie movies you have to look at the George Romero movies, they may be a bit to serious but they are "true zombie films". For the dark humour, try Return of the Living Dead and its successors. Not my kind of taste but it works. And finally, you arent suppose to know exactly whats going on, why they eat humans or why they stumble around, you are just suppose to know they do it. Voodoo magic, Toxic leak or Radioactivity? Its very much tied to when the movie was made and what people in general where afraid at at the time. (except maybe voodoo, I guess thats an italian thing) |

[55] Edited by: Sakura Nihil on 22/07/2007 10:57:18 Here's how I see it happening. - Virus gets introduced into human population, kills people. - They reanimate as zombies, and for some unknown reason start trying to eat humans. - Lucky humans get completely eaten, unlucky ones only get wounded and start the cycle over again. Kill them with a headshot, of course. In fact, if we're discussing zombie defense, try this clip from the Shaun of the Dead guys . Also a great read! Screw Sovereignty! |

[56]Originally by: Tao HanOriginally by: Crumplecorn Indeed, they specifically DIDN'T cannibalise people- they all starve to death in the end, because they're unable to eat anything once infected. 28 Days was never really meant to be a zombie movie (I don't remember them ever describing it as such themselves). Its just lumped in to the genre due to the basic similarities (mysterious virus causes all people to turn in to mindless killing machines). "Real" zombies come from voodoo (and other religio/mythological doctrines) concepts of dead people rising and doing someone's bidding. In popular culture, though, its trendy these days to attribute "zombism" to viruses, seeing as it's a tiny bit more believable. -------- |

[58]Originally by: Patch86That's why it's the one true zombie film. Rather than just having the walking dead because a bunch of other films did it, they redo the premise from scratch, and end up with something much better. For instance, none of the walking dead crap.Originally by: Tao HanOriginally by: Crumplecorn - I wish I was a three foot female doll with a watering can and heterochromatic eyes. |
