The Horde (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183276/) is a french zombie movie that has 5 minutes of almost silence and then just runs like mad from there. The zombies are fast, semi smart and come back quick. We start with a small group of cops and gangsters and then we add in a French WW2 vet who is just crazy and it spirals into a fun movie. It is subtitled but that doesn't drag the movie as there is little talking during the action sequences and the conversations during the quiet times are interesting.
One of my favorite parts of the subtitles is the fact that there is a gangster who says something that is not subtitled - and another gangster says "I can't understand you - shut up!".
Overall a good film and a slightly different take on the theme.

Autumn : The Series by David Moody
I stumbled upon Autumn by David Moody by accident. I actually almost read the third book first.
It doesn't matter - go buy this series now!!!
One Autumn day 99% of the world falls down dead - or at least Britain. 48 hours later a third of the dead get up and stumble around. Then a few days later they start changing and noticing noises. And it just gets worse from there. A group of survivors, shell shocked at the sudden losses hide in a useless shed until things start happening outside. And then it gets even better.
Without ever saying Zombie (the people normally call them undead or more often, bodies) David Moody has created a world full of the undead - and we watch as the few survivors try to continue doing that.
Go - read it now!
I am partial to Barnes and Noble since I have a Nook so here is the link
Autumn : The City (Book 2)
We now see everything happening from book 1 but from a different group of survivors who are in the city. A city full of rotting corpses and wandering bodies. Holed up in a University building, they quickly attract a lot of attention. This book is a great center piece for the 3 books so far and really has a lot of action and depth. We see how people change and withdraw or give up, but we also see how some will do anything to survive.
Get it the second you finish book 1
Autumn : The Purification (Book 3)
This book is all go and really adds elements of things we have seen in other books while giving them a new perspective and some twists. The survivors are on the move again and they may have a place to finally settle, if they can get there - and if the bodies would stop changing.
