What is it with the rash of zombie movies on tv lately.
Every Monday night there’s a pommie show called Dead Set on SBS. It’s a show set in the world of the U.K’s Big Brother and the contestants being trapped in the house as the world gets zombiefied.
Then afterwards, there’s a zombie movie. Last week was the Spanish original ”Rec”, which was remade last year. About a reporter following two firemen to a callout and then getting trapped in the apartment building because of a plague thing.
Tonight there’s one about mutated tree sap infecting people. Saturday night I watched Dawn of the Dead on channel ten.
I went to bed a 1:30 am and couldn’t sleep for fear of being bitten.
It would seem that the last month or so has been zombiefied.
28 Days Later has also been on.
Now there’s a new computer game about 10,000 zombies or something, and Woody Harrelson in a new movie called Zombieland.
I don’t know what it is about zombie movies, or why they’ve been on, but I am bizarrely drawn to them and then find myself not being able to sleep.
Only got myself to blame.

I think it's because now Vampires are cool, they're trying to make Zombies the next big thing.
I'd never heard of Dead Set. Or most of the other stuff you mentioned. I have some serious catching up to do Zombie wise.

Yup, what Scoman said, they're trying to cash in on the whole freaky, otherworld, characters, but somehow I don't think Zombies will cut it,.
Miss Rosa says
Because ZOMBIES RULE. If you haven't seen Zombieland yet, see it!

My boyfriend loves crazy Zombie movies. Whenever we are watching them together I can't help but cover my eyes every now and then. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a zombie vs. vampire movie? I wonder who would win? They are both undead so hmmm…

There's even more movies on Monday night and there was one on last night with Simon Baker.
I don't think they're going away.
