      ​@@boop2369 Nah, that's like the only smart thing that happens in this movie.
      Now, the original Dawn of the Dead... They do a lot of the things that Nerd Explains suggests.
      There are three survivors, a news reporter, an helicopter pilot and a swat officer. The pilot teaches the other two how to fly the chopper, and the swat officer teaches them how to shoot. They clear the entire mall, and then, use trucks from a nearby lot, put them in front of the doors so the zombies can't pile up against the glass doors and break them. So if they need to clear up an entrance, there's only a handful of them. They decide to wait it out in there. And they hide, not in the roof, but somewhere with roof access, so they can use the chopper if they need to escape.
      They only get screwed when a motorcylce gang sees the chopper on the roof and undoes all their labor, and the zombies get in.
      All in all, the first three "of the Dead" movies by Romero have this things, where most survivors aren't just bumbling idiots.

      Well considering some of the zombies had consciousness of their past interactions and use tactics ( Zombie Andy still using the whiteboard & Zombies sneaking up on people to catch them off guard ) it's not really too far off to think you will be outwitted by zombies.
      They might not be as smart, but they'll outrun you and outlast you, and there will be more of them than you can really take care of.
      Nerd Explains says "just kill 30,000 zombies" as if it would be an easy job taking 30,000 headshots.
      At least 3 seconds for the aim and for the shoot, another 5 for the reloads with let's say 30 rounds per mag, we're talking 750 hours of nonstop shooting, 1 hour and 20 minutes of reloading.
      That's 31.3 days... of NONSTOP taking out zombies and that's using the AR's, would take longer using pistols or shotguns.

    Another reason for why elevators are a terrible idea:
    Most modern elevators have proximity/motion sensors. So, if something or someone gets too close to the door before it fully closes, instead of having a high-tension moment where the door closes just in time like in the movies, you'll have the doors opening back up and letting the horde in.

You can see his confusion and momentary hesitation when he first becomes a zombie, like he's trying to understand what happened.

    9:55 Boarding up the windows from the outside (if possible), is always the better option.
    In Night of the Living Dead (1990) they boarded up (from the inside), which allowed enough zombies to push through
    the glass windows and eventually dislodge the boards.
    Boarding up the windows (hurricane style) from outside, the zombies are not smart enough to pry them off.
    Which usually requires strength and tools.

    • @MGillDesign

      Disclaimer: I am a huge fan of George Romero's Dead Trilogy (my favorite being Dawn 1978), yet because I mentioned NOTLD 1990 (just to make my point) about boarding windows... and didn't say it was a remake, or mention 1968 version... a troll commenter decided to make it an issue. You would think people have better things to do with their time, but he obviously didn't.
      So this is my disclaimer: #1 - I'm a George Romero Trilogy Fan. #2 - I'm over 40 yrs old, and grew up on 70s/80s horror.
      I just prefer the 1990 verison of NOTLD over the 1968 version. That would be like telling the poster of this video (about survival), to rename it***** "How to Beat the ZOMBIE HORDE in "DAWN OF THE DEAD" 2004 REMAKE"

      It's false.Well, dying from metal shock, especially those who are used to being in a field hospital during war anyway.
      It's an urban legend based on actual facts.
      Amputation rate during the civil war was * CRAZY*
      Many people didn't make it.
      You had to be extremely fast due to no painkillers and the patient could die from shock due to physical trauma.
      I'm sure some lost fingers in the chaos and died from infections from it.
      But dying due to witnessing something traumatic is unheard of, tho shouldn't be confused with having a heart attack due to other ailments.
      Seriously, all the people who were at ground zero and witnessing first hand the chaos of 9/11, seeing body parts all over the area, people jumping and turning into vapour etc, yet no reports of people just dropping due to being an eyewitness on the ground.

    Two years late, and it's probably already been mentioned, but... @12:00 - the evidence from the opening scene is that the zombies don't need a functional circulatory system. Lewis bled out when the zombie girl ripped out the side of his neck, and then revived as a zombie. That, and later scenes where people turn, suggests to me that the zombies in this particular apocalypse are people who have died and then reanimated.

      @@snorgardark1908 let's start with the most outrageous. She shoulda get bitten and die in the first minutes of the movie. Like straight up. But nope - she somehow miraculously slipped out of the grip of her zombie husband after it overpowerd her and she lost balance and started to fall. That was end for her and pretty much anyone caught up in that situation. That's it.
      Then when she was about to get out of the window her zombie husband caught her foot and one might think he would bite her if not get her back inside again, but she somehow kicks him so hard it backs off and it's from such uncomfortable restricting position where it's almoust impossible to kick hard. Hell, she would probably be unable to kick her husband and "knock back" him any distance away if she was standing in perfect position and could "ramp up" given weight difference and her lack of martial arts training.
      Then she didn't used safe belts but still was fine after her car crashed.
      Then at the Mall she had metal thingy to use as weapon as again - in such stressful situation was able to stick it right into zombie's eye socket.

      It's actually worse for running away from "hordes" because there's no defendable architecture, it's just open space and trees. Not to mention the fact that their driving around will produce a lot of noise in the now dead silent world so it will inevitably attract straggling zombies. He keeps bringing up hunting, but I started hunting just last year and I gotta say, it ain't exactly easy to "learn" how to hunt anything and that's double for new shooters as well. You can spend like 7 days "hunting" and still fuck up the shot so now you're hungry without any backup supplies. They smell like greasy blood/adrenaline/sweat, they have anti-personnel firearms and not hunting firearms (in my limited experience this makes a huge difference unless you have rifles), they have no knowledge of wildlife behavior or calls (most people barely know how an animal behaves outside of their backyard), and they might just die of exposure if they can't make a fire or shelter at night.
      tl;dr nature is really bad at sustaining people that have no idea how to live in it so they would have better luck driving to a rural town or becoming nomadic.

    One thing people should do in zombie films is making a nosie bomb, wether being a Giant speaker, Monkey bomb or even a a alarm clock
    Just having a something that can produce a Noise and can lead zombies away is a great thing especially when running from a horde, guiding them to a trap, or making them go to another place or something along those lines

    Yeah, Dawn of the dead's zombies are actually *very* much on the forgiving side. You don't have some insane turn around time like "30 days later" (along with extreme infectivity). You don't have super physically capable zombies like world war Z. Nor do they possess any real intelligence, hell even seemingly completely forgetting about survivors out of sight for no more than just a few seconds (husband at the start after she closes the door)... The zombies are also very much killable, and not somehow near impossible to kill either, they are very much still human in that regard and not only that but impaired humans as well (think someone who is extremely sick essentially). If you had to pick a style of zombie apocalypse to try and survive, this is the one you'd want to try and deal with since it's the easiest... *yet* despite that we have a kill count of the majority, and many a stupid decision. Also the Mark Watney strategy is very much doable, sure it would take some serious effort on the part of the survivors, but potatoes are actually rather easy to grow and having an entire mall roof to do it is quite a nice amount of growing space. Sure you likely won't be able to grow enough to feed everyone, but every bit of food you grow is one less bit of food you have to try and scavenge or hunt for outside the safety of the mall.

There’s always at least one line of protection (the stands around the field) but there’s generally also another wall/fence outside the stands. There’s a lot of times plenty of lockable rooms, a large open space for recreation and growing crops, and is often surrounded by open areas like parking lots.

      i think it is one of the worst big options. You have all this, but the design as a whole is very problematic and the extremely low sports shoes are not a good option at such a time. In such a place you would find almost no resources at all and its closed curved architecture without any connecting points in the middle is a terrible choice. Many of the rooms are probably just single entry and exit rooms. And if there is a corridor, it is closed, maybe crooked (allowing many opportunities for unpleasant ambushes and everything) and just not the best option for movement, the grass is fake, you do not have access to higher ground etc. In general, however, I would say that the worst problem with stadiums is limited vision.
      I mean... what would you do there? stay in completely empty space with your one weapon and in case a zombies come from more than one side you are forced to try to run for quite a while until you get them in one places and then try to run away when you are already exhausted since due to the way the place is built you just do not have much of an option for moving...

    That doesn't look like your typical shopping mall, the entrances and exits to that place don't seem to be too many to have to account for. As a plus, it has armed security.
    B, it's like you said. The apocalypse happened really fast. So fast that nobody would think about heading to a mall, and hunkering down. This means looting in general wouldn't last long, and larger stores and shopping malls would stay intact and mostly abandoned. Looters would literally be torn apart by infected, so having to shelter in place or maybe making a break for it and trying to leave is the best option. Basically, the mall should be ok, as well as most grocery stores.
    So the group in this particular zombie apocalypse at this particular mall, get away with their decision to stay there, this one actually is plausible. Compared to other survival strategies and techniques.

      @@ringo1692 well, you got some point but if an obstacle can stop a bicycle surely can stop even a vehicleI; am not saying that a bike is unstoppable, but it is silent, does not use fuel and repairs itself quickly; and if things go wrong you can drop it and escape on foot, instead of being trapped in a car

      @@lonewanderer882 I’m going to agree with you here providing the person surviving knows the local layouts, alleyways and shortcuts to minimise time spent actually cycling as if the zombies run depending on their athleticism they could run the risk of out running you if you trip or flip over a small obstacle. Also to provide another viewpoint a bicycle has a lot less storage opportunities than even a small car. It would have been smarter for the survivors in this movie to barricade the useless areas which will provide no benefits to their survival, as well as those areas close to exits or entrances. Preferably a second story is best either way
