You'd think I'd more excited...

As for the horror genre of movie I'm more of a fan of the scary as opposed to the gory. Yet for some odd reason I like Zombie movies. I like them more than some people like Vampire movies.
While my preference for Zombies is a personal one, lets make it a head to head challange for those Vampire loving losers (sorry lost my objectivity there)..

My challenge will be contested in the upcoming movies (via Apple Trailers);
Zombieland
Dead Snow
Daybreakers

So my assessment thus far based on the quality of the trailer;

Zombieland - Sounds a bit like Zealand doesn't it! World over run by Zombies etc Woody Harrelson stars as a Zombie ass-kicking cowboy. Gotta tell you, I'm on board with this on.
Awesometre Rating; +++++

Dead Snow - All you need to know is in the following words... Nazi Zombie Super Soldiers. Could be Snakes on a Plane redux though (actually it probably is) but the concept is fun.
Awesometre Rating; +++

Daybreakers - Moody vampire evolution thing. Pro's Sam Neil, Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe. Con's Sam Neil's accent, Vince Colosimo. Looks like it filmed in Australia a la Matrix style. Interesting concept (not really). Ultimately everyone is a vampire, humans are farmed, vampire world on the surface is perfect (just everything happens at night, instead of the day) blah, blah.
Looks like some did a Find and Replace search on a early draft of the Matrix.
Awesometre Rating; Mehh

So there you have it folks, the potential of the Zombie films to entertain is up there with the winners. The sole Vampire film, down there with the non-winners.
