Gory and violent horror film about a few friends that take a vacation to a backwoods

ancient book of the dead. Evil forces are unleashed, and each of the

The Omega Man (1971)
Remake of The Last Man On Earth. A plague sweeps across the
globe. This plague turns everyone into zombies. Charlton Heston is the only
person to take an experimental vaccine that makes him immune to the virus.
He is alone in a barren Los Angeles, bored out of his mind, hunting zombies

The Last Man On Earth (1964)
Grand Daddy of all modern zombie films. Vincent Price is saved from a
global zombie virus by injecting himself with an experimental vaccine. He
barricades himself in his home, with zombies attempting to break-in and kill
him each night. Price is haunted by the memory of his wife and daughter, and
is
bored out of his mind all alone. A couple of scenes are disturbing for an older movie. Based on a Richard Matheson novel, who wrote several
Twilight Zone episodes. |

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
George Romero's original classic zombie film. A comet passes by the

Number 1
Return Of The Living Dead (1985)
Great zombie film that is very funny at times. It completely captures
the 1980s new-wave music culture. Employees in a medical supply warehouse
unleash a chemical that brings the dead to life. Bad luck spreads this
chemical, and hundreds of zombies mobilize as a result. A group of new-wavers and others are trapped in a mortuary
building. Nudity and violence. The premise of the film is quite logical for
a horror film
(although dated now). Written and Directed by Dan O'Bannon, who also wrote
Alien. |
