Poll: Do you like zombie movies?

I'm an enormous fan of Simon Pegg as a writer. He wrote an incredible article in defense of zombies and convinced me a lot. (His article was actually about how the slow model of zombie is the only worthwhile kind.) And Edgar Wright is a brilliant director: Shaun of the Dead is a very scary movie at the same time as it's incredibly hilarious.

That said, I'd love to compare it to Night of the Living Dead. I'm just scared that it'll be a letdown.

I remember watching Night of the Living Dead several years ago with friend when we were both into cheesy old films. We were expecting something along the lines of The Giant Gilla Monster or Attack of the Killer Shrews and were surprised to find that it was actually a very good, very gripping movie. It's no surprise that it sparked the genera.

Really? Huh! I'll have to give that a look-up, then.
