Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Our Favorite Underrated Zombie Movies

So Remy and I got to discussing the upcoming blockbuster zombie flick World War Z, mainly about how it's going to be one of the biggest duds we'll probably ever witness, but the topic then sparked a debate over some of our favorite lesser-known zombie films. Everyone talks about your Night of the Living dead type classics, and new films like Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead remake created more recent hubbub around the genre, but fantastic zombie movies are still being produced year after year - without anyone really noticing.

Remy – Return of the Living Dead Part II

Everyone loves Part 1, and with good reason as it redefined zombie films by introducing the campiness that the genre was seriously lacking, but I LOVED Part 2 for one reason and one reason only. The protagonist in this movie is a small boy, maybe 12 years old. I saw the fucking movie when I was 12. Do you even know the impact that had? Suddenly, I was being represented in a zombie movie, and on top of that, I ended up being the hero. That blew my young mind. I also LOVED how they used the bully, at first making him human, and then having him hunting down the kid as a zombie. I thought that added a real cool layer to the bully idea, made even cooler in the actual film. Also, there is a cameo from a zombie dressed up like Michael Jackson from Thriller at one point in this movie, and that pretty much kicks all ass, ever.
