Zombies Get Hot!

"My God, I'm STILL not thin enough for you?"

(Resident Evil, 2002)
In the new millennium, zombies become their most insanely human-like. It is here they try the hardest to think, to imitate the living, and put hot women in their underwear in co-ed dressing rooms. As the living do. Sit back and enjoy.

House of the Dead (2003)


This Uwe Boll film is one of the first movies to show zombies trying to plot and reason and have evil schemes. Unfortunately, since it's Uwe Boll, the logic is as good as any other plot the Germans had for America.

Land of the Dead (2005)


In Romero's latest film, he humanizes zombies to the extreme and finally nails down the reason why people want to see zombie movies.

That and it pioneered the hot-zombie-killing-woman-dressing-in-black-underwear-in-a-co-ed-blue-dressing-room scene.


House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim (2005)


See?

House of the Dead 2 went even further, making zombies act more human than would ever be necessary. However, the zombies at least interact with armed soldiers when they do their thing. Although the result is a tad baffling.

Venom (2005)


Venom, which kind of came out of nowhere in 2005, starred Method Man and the nuttiest premise for zombies yet. According to the film, zombies come from Louisiana snake bites.

Snake bites.

In any case, the zombies created from these snake bites are the craftiest yet.

Venom is also the film that marks the era where zombies are finally smarter than humans. Well, this human anyway.

The zombie driving the truck (yep) catches the blonde girl's neck with a chain, and she's stuck to the truck. The teens in the car try to hang on to her.

Unfortunately, the two vehicles are heading to a deadly fork in the road.

However, the teens in the car could save the hanging girl's life by simply letting go, so she won't be pulled over the fork and can then put slack on the chain she's hooked on. Do they outsmart the zombie?

Well, we still have Slither to see if we get smarter.
