More Voodoo than Zombie, but it's still a zombie movie. Read the book if you get a chance.

I mean that haitian zombies are a very different thing from john romero living dead zombies. Romero zombies are, technically, more akin to the continental tradition of ghosts and vampires (they are dead that don't stay dead and who "eat" the living, until put to rest by a ritualised "second burial"), while haitian zombies are not predatory, not a threat (they are pathetic victims), and mirror the trauma of slavery. The notion of contamination is also absent from haitian zombies.

So, I just don't think that a romero-living-dead fan looking for "zombie movies" in that sense would feel very satisfied with a movie about traditionnal zombification - whether "the serpent and the rainbow" or older pre-romero zombie flicks, such as tourneur's "i walked with a zombie". The word is the same, but the concept, thematic, plot device, creature characteristic, etc, are completely different. Vampires from "30 days of night" or the possessed from "ghosts of mars" are, paradoxally, much closer to romero zombies than haitian ones are.

Still, I adore "the serpent and the rainbow" (i had insta-repped your post for mentionning it), and the voodoo religion in general. I would strongly recommend that film. I just think that we know it's almost jokingly off topic, and slightly misleading to a reader who'd expect films about "zombies". A bit like bringing up alfred métraux's book in a discussion about wwz and the walking dead (which is not a bad thing, but is still some sort of change of subject)...

Okay, I watched this tonight. First of all, imagine how Japanese cinema does with other, typically western, genres, yeah, this is their take on a zombie movie and it's just as fucking weird as you might think. It's not "bad" but it's long, convoluted, jumps around chronologically, and is incredibly campy.

So, not bad, but be aware of what you're getting into before you jump in or you might be disappointed.

Tokyo Zombie

Bromance, afros, zombie ultimate fighting, Urals with sidecars and the awesomeness of Jiu-Jitsu...

Such a great movie.

Not really a Movie, but a music clip:

Die Ärzte - Junge
It is a german punk rock band, so the song is german.
