The Best Zombie Scene Ever – Discussion 1
I titled this entry “Discussion 1″ because I know how contentious “Best of” discussions can be. They truly are very subjective– but I think fanatics can agree on many things. And this, my flesh-eating friends, is why we’re all here, right?
There is a challenge I like to extend to my film-fanatic friends, and that is this:
“What are the best movie scenes of all time?”
Seems easy……

The red headed punk chick that dances naked on the car in “Return of the Living Dead.”

Yeah– you’re right about that one Craig! If I’m not mistaken she wore leg warmers most of time and her fantasy was to get eaten alive by a bunch of old men. Golden!
And as far as the movie “Return of the Living Dead”– it still remains at the top of my list as one of the best zombie movies of all time– a perfect blend of gore and wit.

28 Days Later: When Cillian Murphy enters the church and the seemingly dead people turn around suddenly and stare at him like mad men. Freaky!

Good one Mark. Freaky, with a hint of blasphemy! The whole “rising from the dead” we see in zombie movies is often seen as a perversion of Christianity’s notion of rising from the grave after you die. Hey– that sounds like a great topic for a future posting. Bound to get the hackles up on a few people.

We all seem to be picking 28 … Later movies.
The scene in 28 Days Later when the three characters played by Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris and Noah Huntley are attacked by zombies. They’re safe when suddenly everyone realizes that Noah’s character has been bitten. As you’re thinking, “Oh great. Now they’re going to drag him around with him. Naomie’s going to totally denying the fact that he will eventually die, turn into a zombie, and try and kill one of them as they’ve become so close during the previous 28 days. I’ve only seen that a million times.” Before that thought can even be finished, Naomie’s character quickly and coldly kills Noah’s character. He barely can even squeak out a “Naomie, please!” before she dispatches him.
