A Decade of Movies #28
Zombieland
Directed by Ruben Fleischer
Released October 2, 2009
Truly epic and hilarious. Zombieland was actually developed as a TV series several years ago. The creators have stated they had about the whole first season planned out, and the ideas from these episodes could potentially be used for sequels. Most parties involved have stated interest in revisiting the Zombieland universe, and I certainly can't wait to go back!

Dead Snow
Directed by Tommy Wirkola
Released January 9, 2009 (Norway)
A fun and fairly decent Teen (College) Slasher/Skiing/Nazi Zombie movie from Norway!
A Decade of Movies #26
Dead & Breakfast
Directed by Matthew Leutwyler
Released August 19, 2005
If you like zombies that sing Country/Rap songs and line dance this is the movie for you.

A Decade of Movies #25
Dead Girl
Directed by Marcel Sarmiento, Gadi Harel
Released September 8, 2008
One of the many low budget horror movies of the decade that is a great concept and has so much potential, but falls just short of greatness. And yeah, the poster is supposed to remind you of a vagina.
A Decade of Movies #24
Undead
Directed by Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig
Released 2003
I saw this when it came out on DVD in 2005 I don't really remember anything about it. It has a 29% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 73 reviews, so I'm guessing it isn't very good.
A Decade of Movies #23
Zombie Honeymoon
Directed by David Gebroe
Released 2004
This movie isn't a total crapfest like Zombie Strippers, but it ain' no Shaun of the Dead either! Worth a watch if you heart zombies.
A Decade of Movies #22
Zombie Strippers
Directed by Jay Lee
Released April 18, 2008
This movie sucks, but it's called Zombie Strippers so you gotta watch it.
A Decade of Movies #21
Shaun of the Dead
Directed by Edgar Wright
Released April 9, 2004 (UK)
Not just an incredible zombie movie, but an all around fantastic film in general. Shaun of the Dead is funny, smart, emotional, and scary. It holds it's own as the original and greatest example of "A Romantic Comedy, with Zombies."

The Dead Outside
Directed by Kerry Anne Mullaney
Released August 25, 2008 (UK)
This Scottish zombie film has had no official wide release yet. It looks interesting.
A Decade of Movies #19
Planet Terror
Directed by Robert Rodriguez
Released April 6, 2007
This movie rocks so hard. It perfectly captures everything campy and awesome about low-budget 1980's zombie flicks. Bruce Willis is in it too! If you saw it in theaters as part of the Grindhouse double feature, consider yourself lucky. It was a box office flop in the US and it was subsequently split into two separate releases overseas. Rodriguez is currently filming a feature length version of Machete, his fake trailer in Grindhouse, but it will be a solo release and not part of Grindhouse 2.
A Decade of Movies #18
Land of the Dead
Directed by George A. Romero
Released June 24, 2005
Romero's first zombie film in 20 years continued the trend that each installment of his Dead series is to be worse than the previous one. It's a decent zombie movie, but pales in comparison to the greatness of Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead...and there's lots of terrible CG blood splatter.

A Decade of Movies #17
Dawn of the Dead
Directed Zack Snyder
Released March 15, 2004
In my opinion this is the best of the decade's onslaught of (mostly) terrible horror film remakes. The directorial debut of Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) made use of the 2000's more "extreme" olympic runner zombies seen in 28 Days Later.

28 Days Later
Directed by Danny Boyle
Released November 1, 2002 (UK)
I haven't done the research, but I was just thinking about when the 2000's new breed of fast zombies were introduced. Was it 28 Days Later? I can't think of an earlier example off the top of my head. Anyways, this movie rocks.

A Decade of Movies #15
Resident Evil
Directed by Paul Anderson
Released March 15, 2002
This movie sucks, but zombie movies are just like pizza in the fact that even when they're bad they're good.
A Decade of Movies #14
Outpost
Directed by Steve Barker
Released March 11, 2008
Outpost is a pretty original British nazi-zombie movie starring Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone). Unfortunately it isn't the most exciting thing around. Recommended only for hardcore genre fans.
A Decade of Movies #13
Fido
Directed by Andrew Currie
Released June 15, 2007 (USA)
Not only has this decade had it's share of great zombie flicks, but it's birthed the sub-genre of Zombie Comedy! Fido is one of the best 'Zom-Coms' of the handful released since Shaun of the Dead. Think Frankenweenie but with a zombie.
