I've been on a zombie kick and have powered through the Romero films and their remakes, I Am Legend, World War Z, 28 Days/Weeks Later, Rec, Quarantine, Zombieland, and some of the less-fantastic films such as Dead Snow and Fido. Are there any good zombie/infection horrors that you lot would recommend? What are your favourites? Do you prefer fast or slow-moving zombies?

Dead Alive is a nice horror comedy by Peter Jackson before he made Lord of the Rings. I also really like Shaun of the Dead.

I'll have to check those out; horror comedies are a special kind of wonderful. I don't like Zombie movies, mostly because I've never seen a scary one. But the one I can't help but love is, Zombeavers. Zombeavers is a cheesefest and a classic. I had that Sinatra-esque credits theme stuck in my head for weeks.

Fulci's Zombie (1979) is great.
Also, the first three Return of the Living Dead films are really fun too.
Then there's Night of the Creeps (1986) and Night of the Comet (1984).

I recommend Wyrmwood. I really enjoyed that for a zombie film (a genre that I'm getting really tired of). Train to Busan is a new one that horror fans are absolutely loving too. I liked it okay, but like I said....Sick of zombies.

Dawn of the Dead remake is my favorite (2004) Also love NOTLD, and 'infection/zom' movies like Quarantine, 28 Days/Weeks Later...... I love both fast/slow moving - however NOTLD's slowly moving zoms really creeped me out - eerie feel with the black and white.

Zombie (1979), still the grossest looking zombies I've seen.
The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue (1974). It's got a great mood and atmosphere, similar to that of the original Night of the Living Dead.

Nice someone enjoying the older work Living Dead at MM is really underrated and for unknown reasons rather obscure. I think it's one of the better. I would like to add Romero's original Dead trilogy. And just for pure entertainment Burial Ground. Obviously prefer slow moving zombies. Fast moving makes it more look like comedy and doesn't make sense. Zombies lack a brain to act fast.

I prefer slow moving zombies. While quick zombies would obviously pose a greater threat in real life, there's something profoundly creepy about the idea of something hideous and dangerous slowly shuffling closer and closer...

I would suggest checking out Cooties (2014), Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies (2016), and Pontypool. A Christmas Horror Story (2015) also has a segment about zombie elves that is hilarious. Night of Something Strange (2016) is one of the best lower budget horror movies I have seen in years. It is gross and funny and very well done. Some others worth checking out: Doghouse (2009), The Revenant (2009), Cemetery Man (1994), Re-Animator, Dance of the Dead (2008), Nightmare City (1980), The Grapes of Death (1978), Stalled (2013), The Dead Pit (1989), The Video Dead, Stacy: Attack of the Schoolgirl Zombies (2001), Overtime (III) - 2011 (these are alien type zombies and sorta feels like an 80s action movie. It is a GREAT lower budget/lesser known movie), and A Cadaver Christmas (2011)

I like both slow & fast but find faster ones scarier, actually. My personal favourite zombie flick is Romero's Day of the Dead. (1985) The FX are still pretty jaw dropping even today and it has a nicely claustrophobic feel to it. Totally second The Revenant (2009), Nightmare City (1980) & Re-Animator (1985) recs btw Other recs: Train to Busan (2016) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyWuHv2-AbkZombi 2 (1979) Dead Snow (2008) The Dead (2010) Juan of the Dead (2011) Dead & Buried (1981) Burial Ground (1981)

'Dead and Breakfast,' but only if you like your zombies served up with a side of comedy.

I'm a big fan of Nightmare City, which is a kind of combo Zombie/Twilight Zone movie.
Also, a couple of others like it, USA productions, are Night Shadows, aka Mutant, and it's quasi-remake Nightmare at Noon, aka Death Street USA.
And then there's Warning Sign, a sort of precursor to 28 Days Later.

Zombi is an absolute must since it's a classic. It may bore you at times, but you have to see it.
I also liked Shock Waves (though I hate the title). It's one of those Nazi zombie films. I wouldn't say it is imperative that you see it, but I came away with a positive impression. The same goes for The Grapes of Death.
And as Johan said, Living Dead at Manchester Morgue is pretty good too. Christina Galbó is at her finest!
