Zombie Movies

Autor Glenn Kay
en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2012
Zombie Movies is an essential purchase for all who love (or fear) horror cinema's most popular and terrifying creation. This thorough and authoritative yet uproarious guide reviews and rates nearly 400 zombie films--from Bela Lugosi's White Zombie to the AMC series The Walking Dead. It traces the evolution of the zombie over the decades, from voodoo slave to brain-eating undead to raging infected. Including a detailed and chilling journal from the filming of Land of the Dead, Zombie Movies also lists the oddest and most gruesome things ever seen in undead cinema and covers not only mainstream American movies but also small independent productions, Spanish and Italian exploitation pictures, bizarre offerings from Japan and Hong Kong, and TV-show episodes with zombies in them. In addition, it provides a detailed rundown of the 25 greatest zombie films ever made and features in-depth interviews with actors, directors, makeup effects wizards, and other zombie experts. Now revised and expanded to include over 100 new and rediscovered films, this second edition of Zombie Movies provides plenty of informative and entertaining brain food for serious fans and casual moviegoers alike.

Recenzii

"Kay's guide is the zombie movie bible for the film student and horror moviegoer . . . . [It] captures the satire, the fear, the politics, and the humor of both classic and modern horror flicks. From Night of the Living Dead (1968) to Cemetery Man (1994) to Wild Zero (2000), you can't go wrong with this guide. Fun for the whole undead family!" -- PopMatters
"A near-perfect reference guide for followers of the shambling dead. With extremely up-to-date coverage . . . this volume will be a welcome addition to zombie connoisseurs' coffee tables." -- Fangoria
"The definitive guide to zombie movies. Rated and reviewed, decade by decade, for the reader's convenience. A must-read for all zombie scholars!" --Dan O'Bannon, director, The Return of the Living Dead
"...Fans of flesh eaters in film should enjoy the hell out Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide. It's very complete, often amusing, has a wealth of information, a bunch of pictures, and lots of everything else that an (un)deadhead would want in their book about zombie flicks. If you love zombies like I love zombies then do yourself a favor and pick this one up." -- Horror World
"Kay's assessments are penned with tons of wit, humor, and playfulness."-- Complex Magazine
"I thought I was done with zombies, but with his book he reminded me that even if the sub-genre is currently a broken record, I still have a nice collection that I can always go back to and enjoy. Well played, sir." -- Horror Talk
"Its brain food for genre fans..." from article on Movie Talk online magazine.
A book which every horror film fanatic will adore as it reviews almost 400 zombie films. Starting with the first zombie film ever to be made - White Zombie in 1932 starring Bela Lugosi in a role equal to although not as famous as his appearances as Dracula. Individual chapters lead through each successive decade ending with the 2010's, and a list of the greatest zombie films ever made. What makes this book stand out as more than just a compilation of films are the highly informative interviews with people like Colin Geddes, Antonella Fulci and Tom Savini. Equally fascinating is the section entitled Some of the Weirdest/funniest/most disturbing things I've seen in zombie film. Definitely weird is Hard Rock Zombies in which a hungry zombie manages to eat himself all up while the spectacular undersea battle between a live shark and a zombie in Zombie (1979) was definitely a one-off. This is a book for dipping into and savouring; it is informative, lively and interesting offering a different slant on the usual run of film guides. 4 stars. Angela Youngman, monstersandcritics.com
