Good Zombie Films

Are you looking for good zombie films? these are some of the best zombie films ever made.

Zombie films are a particular type of horror movie genre, an old favorite of mine is the original Dawn of the Dead, there have also been some great recent zombie movies. I am a big fan of the zombie style movie, they create a great sense of survival and isolation that is unmatched by any other type of movie. Zombie movies have a huge following and fan base, they offer a great form of escapism from our daily lives. Modern zombie movies started in the 60s with Night Of The Living dead and they have been very popular ever since, many recent good zombie films have followed the same style and continue to be popular to this day.

What Are Zombies?

They are the living dead, mindless creatures that resemble humans but they have no humanity left in them, their only desire is to eat the flesh of the living.

How To Kill A Zombie?

The brain has to be destroyed, (Gun Shot, Axe, anything that can cause serious brain injury) decapitation will disable the body, however the head will still be alive.

Good Werewolf Movies

This page has a list of some good werewolf movies, werewolves are a very popular mythical creature.

Werewolves are very popular in modern fiction with movies and books based on Werewolves being released all the time. They're a personal favorite of mine, there have been some really good werewolf movies plus TV series in recent years.

What is a Werewolf?
 
Werewolves are humans that have the ability to turn into a Wolf or a Wolf like creature or humanoid Wolf. A Werewolf can also be known as a Lycanthrope or just simply Lycan which is commonly used in the Underworld films. The werewolf myth is originally thought to have originated from Europe, In this modern day world they're well known world wide.

Werewolf Characteristics
 
A Werewolf's transformation can be triggered by a Full Moon or some Werewolves are portrayed with the ability to transform whenever they like, to turn at will. Depending on how they are portrayed in what ever fictional medium, their strengths vary, this normally includes enhanced physical strength and speed, these abilities are normally only apparent in Werewolf form, but sometimes these abilities can be apparent while they're in human form. Some werewolves are shown as immortal creatures that can only be killed by silver, others portray them as mortal creatures that age and die just like normal humans.
