There is no denying that there has been a rebirth of the zombie movie in the past decade. There are the Resident Evil movies, the remakes and sequels to the George Romero legacy, 28 Days/Weeks Later, Planet Terror, and even the most recently released Quarantine. But the question is… why?
The team over at io9.com decided to map out the rise and fall of zombie apocalypse movies against the economic state and warfare of the USA. Turns out, violence and depression seems to make for good zombie movie inspiration.
So with the result of yesterday’s election, you have to wonder… are we in for 4 more years of zombie movies or a rebirth in romantic comedies? Either way, the graph is just fun for all the info-graphics and analytics junkies/lovers out there.

I found the oinarigl Last House on the Left to be so greatly dissapointing, I can’t see how they could botch a remake. What a great tagling: it’s only a movie… it’s only a movie… I avoided renting it for years because I thot it would be too scary. Instead, it looked like it was filmed in my backyard with a camcorder and the pacing is terrible. Please remake it… into a different movie. And don’t try to convince me it’s good by telling me it’s based on a Chekhov play.The Friday trailer is promising, and if the 3D in My Bloody Valentine is as good as the 3D in Beowulf, the it could be AWESOME (Beowulf was pretty bad, but who cared? The effects were amazing. Hey, can we rerelease all the 3D Hitchcock films? I saw Dial M for Murder in 3D and it was great…)Night of the Demons… my guess is that there won’t be nearly as many topless women in the remake, and thus the charm of the ’88 film will be lost… I’d prefer to watch Kate Bush sing “Night of the Demon.”“When I was a child, running in the dark, afraid of what might be…”
