I am a Zombie movie fan.
However they dont cover how any infection starts just the after math in almost every movie Ive seen.


Quaruntien was a good point of veiw about a zombie type infection start. The only one to try and answer this question about how an infection could come to a city full of crazy dead people trying to eat the living.
My other beef is these zombie movies alway pick the most unlikely to survive a flat tire let alone a city full of man eating dead numbering the thousands. How did get into the population so fast? Would it mutate once it became established?

What I want to see in a movie is simple a group that thinks about thier survival in real terms not this hollywood retard types they have given us in the past.

The problems are many like food water, blood exposer, dark places, loud noises, and other survivors one might meet up with.

Ideas as to what you might want to see in a good zombie flick?

I don't watch many of them, but if memory serves in "28 Days Later" the infection started with a monkey.

The "rage" infection. Good flick, crappy actors made it better.

Blackcatrun, you want to see what happens when survivors of a zombie attack are military types? Resident Evil kind of does it with the Umbrella agents, but that whole deal is just too far fetched, even for a zombie movie. Night of the Comet was one that had a whole battalion of military survivors. Of course they were slightly affected by the comet because while the were in an underground bunker, it wasn't covered with the necessary sheet of cosmic comet ray detering lead.

From the BBC's Science page:


Science ponders 'zombie attack'

If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.
That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada.
