The outright plagarism continues, sorry Danny. In at number ten is ZOMBIES. What a great time for the zombie. 28 Days Later set the ball rolling in fine style, it owed much to Wyndham (not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned), had a great raw energy to it and like Near Dark was a nice little reinvention. Apart from a few niggles Shaun of the Dead rocked, the Dawn of the Dead remake was excellent (nowhere near as good as the original, but a smart stripped down horror film) and The Walking Dead comics are a wonderful Romero-esque take on zombies.
Some people moaned about fast zombies, but I say when hell is full all sorts of zombies will walk the earth, embrace them all. Anyway, the zombies in Return of the Living Dead had a few moves and it's brilliant.
Next time for number nine, why I like quirky.

Man, you're lucky you've not seen Resident Evil 2. Pretty much the biggest threat for fucking up The Year of the Zombie as history will undoubtedly call 2004. And with actual Brand New Romero on the way in 11 months time it looks like 2005 might well be equally groovy for the walking dead!
Not seeing Resident Evil (1 or 2) had nothing to do with luck!
Yeah you're right... I was bored. My sister had it on Pirate... Sorry man. Goes back to that thing about how people are wrong to say you're lucky not to have taken up the cogs... I saw AvP under similar circs too. well 10 mins of it... Absolute dog toffee...
