Re:Poll: Do you like zombie movies? by dkokelley on Wednesday March 18, 2009 @04:16AM (#521368)
I voted yes. I like these and other apocalyptic movies for a number of reasons, but mostly because they allow time for thinking and planning by the characters (while not being a 'chick-flick'). Many other movies I find to be too action-packed to be interesting for anything other than choreographic purposes.

Similar movies to this are CIA based films or bank robberies/hostage movies. Each of them allow the viewer to actually participate by providing the time for the viewer to ask "what would I do in this situation? How would I respond given x resources and y amount of time?"

I particularly despise the go for gore zombie flicks. I like movies that stimulate my intellectually, not ones that remind me of student horror films.
