Serpent and the Rainbow was a pretty good movie, it's actually one of the few post-Night of the Living Dead zombie movies that depicts zombies the way they were traditionally.
And there have been tons of ways to become a zombie in the movies. In night of the Living Dead, originaly, it was radiation from a probe that came back to earth from Venus and exploded in the atmosphere. It had very little to do with a bite for the most part, it was just the recently deceased, which is the one thing they fucked up HARDCORE with Dawn of the Dead 2004, as that was the major part keeping the social commentary together. Of course, no one wants anything inteligent thrown into movies anymore and the writer/director felt that people wouldn't "get" it and that a social/political statement didn't belong in a zombie movie, even though the WHOLE series (Night, Dawn, Day, and the recently released Land of the Dead) *IS* a social/political statement that just happens to have zombies. In Return of the Living Dead, it was a chemical called Trioxin 2-4-5 that was developed by the govt. to spray on marijuana that turned out to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. (for a real laugh, Return of the Living Dead: Rave From The Grave is gonna be coming out in october, in which ravers discover that a dilited Trioxin 245 gives you a crazy high, but when you OD, well.... ZOMBIES IN RAVES! :lol) Undead, the australian zombie movie, it was something weird with aliens or something, I don't quite remember, but I'm gonna watch it again. Fun fact: Zombies were created by hatian bakers as servants to make the bread overnight while they slept so that it would be fresh in the morning. It wasn't untill Night of the Living Dead that zombies became anything other than mindless servants (who just happened to be dead) |

I have a book about a guy who went to Haiti to research zombies. I can't wait to start reading it, I hope it explains this after-death movement cause it claims to. I dunno if this is about *real zombies who can make bread though. I was thinking it would be some dead guy licking his lips or something. Anyways I'll let you knwo how the book is. |

Land of the Dead was pretty good. It's still got the social and political messages in it, but for once it managed to move FAST. Some people are pissed off about the zombies using tools and learning how weapons work, but anyone that watched Day of the Dead knows that it's "possible". I just felt the black super-zombie could have been handled diffrently. |

Uhmm, zombies come from hatian beliefs way before movies were even thought of. Of course, for you to know that, you'd have had to have read posts that I made, which you never do unless you plan on completely dissregarding what was stated.

yes fred. zombies in movies came from hatii :|
i guess most hollywood types back in the day were actually not racist and liked the idea of taking black culture and putting it into the movies. |

Yes Ian, if you watch some of the original zombie movies, like, say, White Zombie, the zombies aren't flesh eating monsters, they're mindless servants.
And Night of the Living Dead is in the movie hall of fame FOR BEING THE FIRST MOVIE TO STAR A BLACK LEAD ACTOR. Night of the Living Dead (along with Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and Land of the Dead) was a social comentary. Yes, getting bitten spread the infection, but the key part was that the recently-deceased was ALL rising. If you died in a car crash, from a heart attack, drowned, got your arm chopped off and died of bloodloss, as long as the brain was still intact and attatched to the body, you were coming back. If people stopped killing each other and worked together, then it would be a lot "harder" for the zombie plague to spread, but people can't put their diffrences aside. NotLD wasn't about zombies taking over the world, it was about how man's inability to set their diffrences and prejudices aside is going to cause the downfall of the human race. |

Fun fact: Night of the Living Dead, Dawn, and Day, were all filmed in Pitsburg, which is also where the "zombie dogs" got created. |

It could have been better for sure, but it's what the series was building up to. The thing that I didn't like much was the "lead" zombie in this one comunicated and had emotions. That didn't make much sence, but then again Bub in Day of the Dead also showed a little bit of emotion and tried to comunicate with humans. I just found it wasn't well done. (Kinda like the vader scream at the end of SW3) |

here's the thing, THEY'RE ZOMBIES. isn't the whole zombie thing supposed to be that they're reduced to primal urges and not stupid shit like wanting to pump gas.. :| |

At first, yes, it's like suddenly getting a massive drug-trip kick in. Your back from the dead, your body is in shock, you have all sorts of urges that you can't controll and that make you seem like a mindless automaton, but over time you get used to it and you "remember" a little bit of your past life, not so much memories but things you used to do, like shoping (Dawn of the Dead) or that you were in the military (Bub in Day of the Dead saluted an officer) |
