American Zombie
I swear I had already posted about this fun little documentary about the rights of the undead. I honestly don’t know how I missed doing so unless it was during the few week period where a few posts were lost awhile ago.
Filmmakers Grace Lee (“The Grace Lee Projectâ€) and John Solomon (“Nonsense Manâ€) team up to shoot a documentary about high-functioning zombies living in Los Angeles and their struggles to gain acceptance in human society.
Despite their wildly different working styles, Grace and John manage to chronicle the hopes and dreams of four fascinating subjects: IVAN, a convenience-store clerk who longs for a career in publishing; LISA, a florist trying to recover her lost memories; JUDY, a hopeless romantic who learns to accept her true nature; and JOEL (pronounced “Yo-Elâ€), a committed political activist striving for zombie rights. As Grace strives to get to know the zombies “on their own terms,†John is eager to uncover their darker side and rallies to get the crew permission to shoot at a three-day, zombies-only retreat called Live Dead where the documentary takes an unexpected – and dangerous – turn. What transpires there is beyond anything the filmmakers could imagine, as they are forced to re-evaluate their ideas about tolerance, identity politics and the future of the human race.

This one had an interesting take,but In the end they’re zombies lol.
Not big on action but I liked It.
There’s been such a huge push for ‘intelligent’ zombies as of late and I just don’t get it. The reason they are so scary is due to their lack of intelligence in a way that we can associate with directly.
Yup,I agree.
I’d think even If a zombie did retain Its memory as time goes It would lose It as It decomposes.
They should have an exparation date like in Return of the Living Dead.
The zombies HAD to eat brains or they would die,the pathmark man caught an old lady zombie and strapped her on a table and she told them that It hurts to be living dead and they had to have brains to live,they witheld brains from here and she exploded into dust before long.
That’s how zombies should be,like vampires no blood they die,no brains zombie dies….
Jus ventin,don’t mind me lol.
Hah! no need to apologize.. we’re “kind” of a pro-zombie site if you hadn’t noticed 😉 With our stress on just the undead here our readers should all have opinions on zombies!
