      I would add Romero's Of The Dead movies to the mixture.
      I also wonder if the name of the main protagonist is a tribute to Romero's vampire movie - Martin :)
      Besides that zombielike vampires feels like a nod to the The Last Man on Earth, with Vincent Price, in which ghouls (that supposedly inspired Romero) were called vampires.
      Cheers!

      And this movie rocks too, usually not a vampire guy, but this movie is just fantastic. One of the finest examples in world building.

    one of the best vampire apocalypse movies! I must confess, I had to stop and restart the movie a few days later because the opening scene was horrifying (infant was just too damned realistic!)... I'm glad I went back.

    @cursedmonkey1033 8 років тому +3

    What a really interesting backstory. I love films like this, where cast and extras are just people they brought in for it. There's a documentary series about a zombie movie being shot in a small town over six years where practically the entire town get involved in the production in some way or another. And of course Bad Taste where the director got all his mates from work for the cast, and the extras were everyone's brothers and uncles and whatnot.
    I really enjoyed the vampire apocalyse angle. A sequel is good news, but jeez... Stake Lander?

    Do The Wailing! It's a Korean horror-ish, suspense-ish, mystery-ish movie. But it is such a refreshing take on the horror genre. The twists are superbly done and the comedic relief definitely falls in place masterfully.
    It is 2:30 long but it's definitely worth a watch.

    *SPOILER CHARACTER DEATH*
    I’m 16 now and my mother was watching this film back in around 2013 so I was about 10 at the time, I actually was kinda watching it but also was on my laptop watching UA-cam at the same time so I was sorta paying attention, none of it really scared me that much and I thought it looked pretty average, however.... there was one scene that fucked me up for YEARS, it’s the scene right near the end of the movie, where the main kid goes looking for the pregnant girl and he finds her wrapped up in barbed wire covered in her blood as it’s being drained out, the fact that they did that to a pregnant girl(and also the fact that I kinda had a lil mini crush on her)fucked my little 10yr brain up for years, didn’t help by the fact that the vampire says the creepiest line of the movie right after “I am your God now” that shit has always stuck with me, just that one scene, the rest of the movie is in my opinion a bit average, but that one fucking scene...

    Joe Lansdale (Cold in July author) wrote a short story called "Dead in the West" about an alcoholic, gun-toting preacher who wanders into a small Texas town and helps fight off an Indian curse and an army of the undead. It's even more awesome than it sounds.
    I want nothing more than for Jim Mickle to do that film with Nick Damici in the lead role. Mickle and Damici also created the Hap and Leonard series, so I know they can handle Lansdale's work.
    Had I the money, I would produce that movie.
