I just watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse which was included with Resident Evil on a nifty little two-pack. I remember watching the first Resident Evil years ago, but I really forgot how cheesy these movies were. The first one was still infinitely better than the second one, but the second one really made me appreciate Shaun of the Dead that much more.
Question. Why is it that zombies that are so slow can sneak up on people so fast? Further, why is it that the main characters are stupid enough to go into a dark room and breathe a sigh of relief? (This is just asking for a big bite to get taken out of your shoulder.)
Oh well. At least they weren’t vampires in Alaska. Still, I really have to ask…where are the good zombie horror writers?
I wonder if it means anything when I won’t write a zombie story. Perhaps it means it’s just impossible to do anything with the zombie genre. Maybe that’s why all zombie movies (that aren’t spoofs) totally suck. There just isn’t enough there.
Or perhaps authors need to get away from cliches and stupid protagonists who go out of their way to die horrific deaths.
