A little bit of genre trivia. Lucio Fulci didn't have a permit to film on the bridge, so he had to do the scene in one take. Before the police came to shut down filming!.
I remember as a kid this movie terrified me to death! The music was in my head for months and I always thought a zombie was lurking in my closet or the bathroom. Ahh, childhood memories.. now the only thing that terrifies me is when mortgage and cable bill come!
I hear you. I use to hear a sound at the door and be like. “Oh shit, Zombies are here to eat me.” Now I hear a knock at the door and think; “Please be zombies. Please be zombies.”
@@matthewthelwell5873 I like both, but there is somethin off and odd about all Fulci movies that no one after him have really managed to create. He had his one style :)
What's really scary is how steady the traffic is on the streets below. Really has that "apocalypse" feel when everyone's driving nice and easy. Quality film.
yeah apparently they didnt have the funds to have the full bridge closed lol imagine though being on the other side and seeing these actors as zombies just walking over lol
As cheesy as the news man's delivery was toward the end, it still works so well with that image of the zombies walking across the bridge. And when the theme kicks up, you know it's real now!
I was a kid when it was released here in spain. I recall a saturday night with my family; i left them in the bar to watch the poster and the pictures at the cinema in front of the bar. They were so scaring i was fascinated by the pics
+gargoyles9999 I always imagine thats exactly what would happen, they'd be underestimated. Scariest thing about zombies is the fact they just wouldn't stop though. You'd find a safe spot and be terrified that they were always out there, you worry how's my mum, my friend....
Plus these zombies while slow, do seem to be extremely strong compared to many of their fellow rottens. One crashed through a wall or a door to attack the cop. Another punched through a door to deliver some medieval eye surgery and another crushed Ian Mculloch's ankle with just a grip in the graveyard. No matter how well you board up your lair, they may just force their way in.
Yeah. That kind of underestimation and jokey attitude is what made Roger die in Dawn of The dead. George Romero was aware about this kind of thinking and he represented that very well in Dawn of The dead.
Fair point about them not stopping. I always go back to the "sprinting zombies" and how that is more terrifying. Granted, in many respects, the runners are scary as shit. But, something slowly hunting you?? Thats downright horrifying. Sorta like how primitive hunters chase their prey to death. That deer may be faster, but it will be steadily chased until it gives up and dies. City? Millions of zombies? Even if you run and find a place to hide, you gotta come out. You were seen, zombies are aware of your general location. They congregate. You leave for food? Too loud? They will slowly make their way to you. And, with their brains solely focused on feeding, no other thoughts, motives, beliefs, feelings - every bit of what they are is to rip you apart, which means every ounce of what they are is put into their strength for the hunt. If one grabbed you, would be really hard to get out of their grip. Now try to run in a direction crowded by them Son of a gun, I am pretty damn drunk right now and reading comments about how they dont stop has really got my mind rolling. Never even thought too hard about this, I just always thought they would be easy - maybe so, maybe for the country folk. Really see it being a hard time for people in a city once shit popped off.
Well, according to Fulci's lore they ARE some kind of undead sleepwalkers. They are rotten flesh puppets, driven by paranormal evil force. A bit closer to classic Voodoo hzambis, a bit far away from virus-driven bullshit.
That's a thing about old school horror movie zombies, they were slow shamblers and it made them scary. Modern runner types are awful. They were cool in the first Return of the Living Dead because they were legitimately terrifying, smart and able to trick people, plus they couldn't be stopped unless completely burned away or nuked. But when they crawl on walls like Spider-Man, as seen in the Day of the Dead 2008 remake, or claw and spit blood like in 28 Days Later (a.k.a. NOT ZOMBIES AT ALL), that's when the fast runner zombies suck. These zombies and the Romero ones are the best. The ones in Dead Alive/Braindead are cool too.
Fear of the walking dead SE1 ep 1-3 was like that. In the Hollywood narrative, they weren't aware one bit about zombie or their tendency to attack/bite and all movies it's always like that. That's why early on in the series people kept going on about their day even with all the proof that a zombie virus was happening. Mind you that was in the 21st century with cell phones where they showed kids/adults watching TH-cam on their phones of what's happening around their city/world. And they still didn't believe it! In this time frame, you would probably have to see it to believe it. We all know the minute someone captures a attack, it goes viral and the world would end within 36-48 hours. Gov and CDC would have to respond within 5 hours of the first zombie attack. All in all we would be screwed no matter what reality you're in (fiction/none fiction)
@@americangangsterlock1550 Yeah, nothing could be done in the end. No matter who dies, as long as the brain is untouched there are Walkers. People could hide and isolate to such extreme degrees that they will never be found by the Zombies. But even then thats only prolonging they inevitable as all it takes is for one person to simply die.
Supposed to be an unofficial sequel to George Romero's Dawn of the Dead (aka Zombi). But if you watch this first and then Dawn of the Dead...this movie makes a nice prequel. (The fact it was an unofficial sequel is the reason for the nod it receives at the end of the Dawn of the Dead remake)
Always a pleasure to see those two beautiful buildings still standing majestically in old movies. They should have been rebuilt exactly the same, as an FU towards terrorism.
I always hear how it ruins the moment seeing cars drive INTO the city. There's a strong possibility people were unaware of the invasion. OR people were coming to the aid of loved ones.
Perhaps it makes sense that (despite the absence of a permit to film the bridge) this is where the Zombies are going in for the first time with the radio broadcast being whats to come after.
I definitely agree. But heck, the film makers should've done that matte painting thing 🤦♂ I don't know how they missed that. In other words, having a still image of the bridge and edit out the cars from every frame of the image, then paste the footage of the zombies on it. One example is the scene of 2001 Space Odyssey where the astronauts are walking into the underground facility of the moon.
I’d go with the people were unaware that New York City was under attack by the living dead. That makes it legit, they’re just going about their daily lives and by the time they learn that they’re under attack by the zombies, it was too late.

Gaming KnockeR: Imagine the horror? Especially if it took place at that time when you didn't have net, cellphones, etc. You know every one rolling in would be guns ablazing.
This was the first zombie movie I first saw. I grew up on horror movies. I was 5 years old when I saw Dawn of the dead in theaters. Very cheesy now but in the 70's and 80's as a child it was very real.
This film is absolutely terrifying. It's the most scared and disturbed I have ever been watching a film, it's just so horrific and doom ladened. This is a truly great horror film in my opinion, but please do not watch the uncut version of you are easily disturbed. I felt terrible for days after this, I am very sensitive. Just a little warning there. One more thing, the music is superb, I play piano and compose and that music (as well as the Tron soundtrack) compelled to start piano to learn to compose.
I always loved how in spite of being told every borough in the city has been over run with zombies & the national guard cant control the situation, there's chaos - the traffic is still coming & going in an orderly way in & out of Manhattan, it may be a zombie apocalypse, but folks still need to get to work.
Seeing 1970s New York is weird I love the hazy affect or maybe that day they shot this scene it was foggy who knows but I love the ending to this movie the start of a global zombie pandimic.
This movie will ever be my alltime favorite zombie-movie. And this movie scares the shit out of me, everytime I watch it. Because in this movie the zombies really look like dead people comming for your flesh. Because the most zombies have their eyes closed the entire time. And that makes them so fucking scary.
Amazing track...great movie...the best ever...ahhhh and day of the dead... And dawn...and night...and zombie creeping flesh...and now the walking dead😨😨😨😨😨😨
excellent movie. great OST , good suspense and well done zombies. still a shame we don't got a sequel. although i know there is a sequel in a comic but i would like if somebody could spoil it on the internet
This was the original Italian dubbed version of the final scene: "The situation here in New York since dawn last Friday when the first appearance of these strange beings was reported is worsening rapidly, boarding on total chaos. The National Guard which has been mobilized by the governor is loosing control of the situation. In every borough, from the Bronx to Brooklyn, Queens and even Coney Island, more and more sightings are being reported of these beings that, in spite of the barricades, are gathering and moving toward the center of the city of Manhattan. The governor has declared a state of national emergency.... citizens are abandoning their homes and running. A large group of them are said to be moving across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. A group of these beings are said to be outside the studio... this may be our very last new bulletin....."
Zombi 3 is just Zombi 3. Some territories just renamed it to Zombie flesh eaters 2 since those same territories renamed Zombi 2 to Zombie Flesh Eaters. Basically the best way to round out a Zombi movie collection is to buy the Italian cut of Dawn of the Dead, (Zombi) then this movie, then the rest.
The traffic seems realistic in my opinion, it would look normal 5 hours into the outbreak until people stop thinking it's bullshit then panic plus being New York you'd have thousands coming in from surrounding states daily anyway, a city that big it would take a while for the word to get around
@@anchorpoint3631 As I say, I don’t think they had the money nor the time. Also it’s worth noting that the shot has been stabilised in more recent releases, in previous versions it looked a little shaky, likely a result of the quick shooting schedule and poor weather on the day of shooting. They shot the entire scene without a filming permit, which is what caused the issue with the cars in the first place. Therefore using a matte painting may have just not been possible. For further context, the film was shot in June and July of 1979, and released in Italy on 25 August 1979. The whole thing was shot, edited and in the cinemas within 3 months, which is utterly insane to think about, and just goes to show how professional the entire crew was. The film could have been a rushed disaster in the wrong hands. Thankfully that wasn’t the case!
@xtrmst_01 Perhaps. But personally I wouldn’t want it changed, partly because I’m so familiar with it. It’s the same with the Evil Dead, I’m quite familiar with the film in its original form without the CGI alterations made on the Blu-Ray to remove some of the amateurish goofs from early in the film. If I ever watch the film in HD and I don’t see Rob Tapert on the right side of the bridge, I roll my eyes, because I know he was there originally and they’ve just removed a really fun little error. It doesn’t take away from the film, if anything, it gives it character, but I can also see why Sam would want them removed.
They actually filmed an extra 40 minutes of the movie showing what happened in New York this part of the film was cut from the initial release due to the fact they did not want to carry on a second film supposedly that footage is still out there I've been looking for it since I found out haven't been able to find it
I recall this scene from when I was in school and it has always stuck with me. Anyway this week at the age of 47 I finally found myself in New York so I made a trip to the Brooklyn Bridge to this exact spot. I know, get a life and all that. 🙄
I've just come home from New York. Its all I could think of when I was walking over the bridge. I done a boat tour to see the sights and it went under the brooklyn bridge. I was trying to imagine where abouts the boat would have been intercepted at the start of the movie. Great stuff!
We have come a long way. Can you imagine if, during the middle of the zombie craze back then, someone came out with a zombie movie with 'zombies' from the Dawn of the Dead remake or 28 Days Later?! My mom told me how much this movie terrified her, now imagine zombies chasing down people. 1v1. No hoards in confined spaces. Sprinting zombies. Not only that, but fast acting viruses like that of 28 Days later. People would have shit on their popcorn. Hell, it would probably create panic and a irrational fear, paranoia etc.
Actually, they sort of did, look up the film "Nightmare City". They run, strategize, and use guns in that movie. It's from 1980. It's not as good as Lucio Fulci's stuff, but it's worth a look. Or, maybe you discovered it already during the last nine months and I'm too late. XD
Love this scene. I’m going to (maby) ruin it a little bit for you now though. If you don’t want that stop reading....3...2...1....Most of the zombies are just swaying side to side and not actually walking. Just a few of them are moving forward slowly for the herd to look thicker, but most of them just stay in the same place 😂 Honestly though, considering they had a very limited number of zombies and probably no permit, that’s very clever filmmaking.
Trivia facts: Over 100 extras were employed to play the bloody, newly dead zombies walking across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. On that day, it was cold with drizzling rain and the extras playing the zombies had to keep themselves from shivering. Also, the fake blood had some ammonia in it to stop it from changing color for the appearance on film. When it dripped into the actors' mouths, they would spit it out when the cameras stopped rolling. All of the extras playing zombies in the New York Brooklyn Bridge scene were locals who were paid $40 per day. The director Lucio Fulci spoke very little English, his only direction for the New York zombie extras was "like . . . ah . . . this!" Although a national state of emergency had been declared and the local radio station had been overrun by zombies, notice how the traffic below still flows freely in both directions. This was due to budgetary constraints - there was not enough money to stop traffic on the bridge.
Hell, I damn wish the movie was re-released with the cars digitally removed, leaving the road empty or have cgi cars looking abandoned or as if they crashed into each other..
The reason the cars are moving is because the producers didnt have enough money to stop traffic on the bridge for filming so they just had to film it with traffic.
I’ve always seen it as people rushing in and out (you’ll notice there are more leaving than there are going in the direction of the zombies) of the city, although having a totally desolate bridge might have really added to the “end of the world” feel of the scene. Still, it works fine as is.
The oncoming traffic makes it legit. People are just going about with their day, unaware that they’re under attack by the walking dead. By the time they found out, it was too late.
The film is good and the fact that they shot scenes in New York, and without a filming permit is also amazing. Still, the end scene kind of makes it hard to subvert reality when you see zombies walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, yet underneath them cars are politely driving by like it's mid-day traffic!
Well to be fair, the ones in City of the Living Dead were pretty wide awake the whole film. Anyway, addressing that point, I find it really creepy, because they’re not really conscious, just purely motivated by voodoo magic and a desire to consume the flesh of the living. It works for me, I love it!
Tisa Farrow sure does look like her more famous sister, Mia! She had just as much, if not more screen presence as her as well. Her career took a different path, with Tisa becoming a cult classic favorite rather than an A-list stsr.

This was the first zombie movie I first saw. I grew up on horror movies. I was 5 years old when I saw Dawn of the dead in theaters.
Very cheesy now but in the 70's and 80's as a child it was very real.
0:47 Howard Dean is the newsreader.
I really enjoyed this film saw it as a kid in the 80's!
This film is absolutely terrifying. It's the most scared and disturbed I have ever been watching a film, it's just so horrific and doom ladened. This is a truly great horror film in my opinion, but please do not watch the uncut version of you are easily disturbed. I felt terrible for days after this, I am very sensitive. Just a little warning there. One more thing, the music is superb, I play piano and compose and that music (as well as the Tron soundtrack) compelled to start piano to learn to compose.
i like how dude irl fights a tiger shark. I was laughing my ass off.
@@MetalLark001to be fair, that scene is pretty epic.
I always loved how in spite of being told every borough in the city has been over run with zombies & the national guard cant control the situation, there's chaos -
the traffic is still coming & going in an orderly way in & out of Manhattan,
it may be a zombie apocalypse, but folks still need to get to work.
Fabio Frizzi's theme is awesome
Seeing 1970s New York is weird I love the hazy affect or maybe that day they shot this scene it was foggy who knows but I love the ending to this movie the start of a global zombie pandimic.
Really well shot that scene
That late 70s morning glow
What makes them creepier is their eyes are closed, yet they still come after you
Yeah, these zombies are like walking corpses that got up one day and started eating people
It was my father took me watching this movie drive in when I was 11
This movie will ever be my alltime favorite zombie-movie. And this movie scares the shit out of me, everytime I watch it. Because in this movie the zombies really look like dead people comming for your flesh. Because the most zombies have their eyes closed the entire time. And that makes them so fucking scary.
The best zombies movie ever and the soundtrack awsome...
This is way better than the Walking Dead...
And thus, The Zombie Walk was born!!!
reporter seemed very subtle about the chaos until he turned into a human happy meal
I love how the cars are just driving by.
One of the scariest movie ever
The cars just going about their business on the bridge😂
Small budget
Amazing track...great movie...the best ever...ahhhh and day of the dead... And dawn...and night...and zombie creeping flesh...and now the walking dead😨😨😨😨😨😨
excellent movie. great OST , good suspense and well done zombies. still a shame we don't got a sequel. although i know there is a sequel in a comic but i would like if somebody could spoil it on the internet
They needed to make another movie in the city lol
What an amazing ending, such a great film.
Slow zombies are the best zombies..... just my view
@Frost slow zombies are less threatening but it's the slow doom that approaches scars the hell out of me lol
This was the original Italian dubbed version of the final scene:
"The situation here in New York since dawn last Friday when the first appearance of these strange beings was reported is worsening rapidly, boarding on total chaos. The National Guard which has been mobilized by the governor is loosing control of the situation. In every borough, from the Bronx to Brooklyn, Queens and even Coney Island, more and more sightings are being reported of these beings that, in spite of the barricades, are gathering and moving toward the center of the city of Manhattan. The governor has declared a state of national emergency.... citizens are abandoning their homes and running. A large group of them are said to be moving across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. A group of these beings are said to be outside the studio... this may be our very last new bulletin....."
It just always seemed odd to me, that while the literal legion of dead advances into the city on the bridge, the traffic is like: Business as usual
Funny how they sold this as Zombi 2 (Dawn of the Dead being Zombi in southern Europe) it's more like a prequel.
Stefano Pavone In a way yea.
Cybopath what do they call zombi 3 then (1988, real name unknown)
Zombi 3 is just Zombi 3. Some territories just renamed it to Zombie flesh eaters 2 since those same territories renamed Zombi 2 to Zombie Flesh Eaters.
Basically the best way to round out a Zombi movie collection is to buy the Italian cut of Dawn of the Dead, (Zombi) then this movie, then the rest.
The traffic seems realistic in my opinion, it would look normal 5 hours into the outbreak until people stop thinking it's bullshit then panic plus being New York you'd have thousands coming in from surrounding states daily anyway, a city that big it would take a while for the word to get around
Precisely my thoughts. As we all know it’s because of budgetary limitations, but it actually adds a sense of realism to the final shot.
@@anchorpoint3631
As I say, I don’t think they had the money nor the time. Also it’s worth noting that the shot has been stabilised in more recent releases, in previous versions it looked a little shaky, likely a result of the quick shooting schedule and poor weather on the day of shooting. They shot the entire scene without a filming permit, which is what caused the issue with the cars in the first place. Therefore using a matte painting may have just not been possible.
For further context, the film was shot in June and July of 1979, and released in Italy on 25 August 1979. The whole thing was shot, edited and in the cinemas within 3 months, which is utterly insane to think about, and just goes to show how professional the entire crew was.
The film could have been a rushed disaster in the wrong hands. Thankfully that wasn’t the case!
@@horrorfanandy4647 "As I say" I don't give a shit what you say, snowflake. Write a book instead since you're clearly into paragraphs
@xtrmst_01
Perhaps. But personally I wouldn’t want it changed, partly because I’m so familiar with it.
It’s the same with the Evil Dead, I’m quite familiar with the film in its original form without the CGI alterations made on the Blu-Ray to remove some of the amateurish goofs from early in the film. If I ever watch the film in HD and I don’t see Rob Tapert on the right side of the bridge, I roll my eyes, because I know he was there originally and they’ve just removed a really fun little error. It doesn’t take away from the film, if anything, it gives it character, but I can also see why Sam would want them removed.
@xtrmst_01 Well exactly, it wasn’t a slight against you of course, simply a matter of taste.
They actually filmed an extra 40 minutes of the movie showing what happened in New York this part of the film was cut from the initial release due to the fact they did not want to carry on a second film supposedly that footage is still out there I've been looking for it since I found out haven't been able to find it
do you have any actual sources?
I recall this scene from when I was in school and it has always stuck with me.
Anyway this week at the age of 47 I finally found myself in New York so I made a trip to the Brooklyn Bridge to this exact spot.
I know, get a life and all that. 🙄
I've just come home from New York. Its all I could think of when I was walking over the bridge. I done a boat tour to see the sights and it went under the brooklyn bridge. I was trying to imagine where abouts the boat would have been intercepted at the start of the movie. Great stuff!
No way I live in NYC and I walk across this bridge all the time and I always think of this the only bummer is it kills me not seeing the towers there
Going to film locations is a Great hobby
Back in 2003 I made the trip from England the the Monroeville Mall so I could reenact DOTD.
I'm a little amused at the cars that are driving by normally while the zombies go into Manhattan...
Unknown 1081 It was due to budgetary constraints; the production ran out of money so they let the traffic roam freely.
The coronavirus brought me here.
Prob the vaccine turned them into zombie's lol
Yer comment is so predictable Gil xD LOL
@@blackpoolbootz2790 Na, mate. Facebook and mobile phones beat you to it.
@@steve_ire321 yer lol
THE ONLY MOVIE SHOWING ZOMBIES AT THE BRIDGE WITH THE WTC IN THE BACKGROUND.
We have come a long way. Can you imagine if, during the middle of the zombie craze back then, someone came out with a zombie movie with 'zombies' from the Dawn of the Dead remake or 28 Days Later?!
My mom told me how much this movie terrified her, now imagine zombies chasing down people. 1v1. No hoards in confined spaces. Sprinting zombies. Not only that, but fast acting viruses like that of 28 Days later. People would have shit on their popcorn. Hell, it would probably create panic and a irrational fear, paranoia etc.
Actually, they sort of did, look up the film "Nightmare City". They run, strategize, and use guns in that movie. It's from 1980.
It's not as good as Lucio Fulci's stuff, but it's worth a look.
Or, maybe you discovered it already during the last nine months and I'm too late. XD
Scena girata in modo clandestino da Lucio Fulci
Meraviglioso ending
RIP Tisa Farrow
Damn that's a dedicated reporter.
Love this scene. I’m going to (maby) ruin it a little bit for you now though. If you don’t want that stop reading....3...2...1....Most of the zombies are just swaying side to side and not actually walking. Just a few of them are moving forward slowly for the herd to look thicker, but most of them just stay in the same place 😂 Honestly though, considering they had a very limited number of zombies and probably no permit, that’s very clever filmmaking.
Well, yes, filming crew was pretty small. Basically all these zombies in this scene are the crew members who weren't used in other duties.
Trivia facts: Over 100 extras were employed to play the bloody, newly dead zombies walking across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. On that day, it was cold with drizzling rain and the extras playing the zombies had to keep themselves from shivering. Also, the fake blood had some ammonia in it to stop it from changing color for the appearance on film. When it dripped into the actors' mouths, they would spit it out when the cameras stopped rolling. All of the extras playing zombies in the New York Brooklyn Bridge scene were locals who were paid $40 per day. The director Lucio Fulci spoke very little English, his only direction for the New York zombie extras was "like . . . ah . . . this!" Although a national state of emergency had been declared and the local radio station had been overrun by zombies, notice how the traffic below still flows freely in both directions. This was due to budgetary constraints - there was not enough money to stop traffic on the bridge.
Hell, I damn wish the movie was re-released with the cars digitally removed, leaving the road empty or have cgi cars looking abandoned or as if they crashed into each other..
Zombie that gets held back: Hey! I'm walkin' here!!
Should of done a 3rd movie about surviving the apocalypse in New York
The reason the cars are moving is because the producers didnt have enough money to stop traffic on the bridge for filming so they just had to film it with traffic.
xjuggernaut640x It actually does kinda add to the effect if you try and work it into some sort of "everyones leaving the city" context.
But this fits everyone trying get out and To safety and get their family’s safe
I’ve always seen it as people rushing in and out (you’ll notice there are more leaving than there are going in the direction of the zombies) of the city, although having a totally desolate bridge might have really added to the “end of the world” feel of the scene. Still, it works fine as is.
The oncoming traffic makes it legit. People are just going about with their day, unaware that they’re under attack by the walking dead. By the time they found out, it was too late.
they got a chance contain this it`s only in New York so far`
Seeing how poorly the Coronavirus was contained, we wouldnt stand a chance in a zombie apocalypse
I LAUGHTED SO MUCH when he screamed at the end
The film is good and the fact that they shot scenes in New York, and without a filming permit is also amazing. Still, the end scene kind of makes it hard to subvert reality when you see zombies walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, yet underneath them cars are politely driving by like it's mid-day traffic!
a governor can declare a state of NATIONAL emergency?
The sexy zombie at 1:05 is a painter and decorater.
Wow. I have never seen New York's traffic this clear.
Why do Fulci's zombies always look like they're enjoying a good sleep despite walking?
Well to be fair, the ones in City of the Living Dead were pretty wide awake the whole film.
Anyway, addressing that point, I find it really creepy, because they’re not really conscious, just purely motivated by voodoo magic and a desire to consume the flesh of the living. It works for me, I love it!
Who had seen zombie🧟♂️ and the new york ripper 🗡on the el rey network
kcuf el rey network
Everyone is running away from the zombies.
It's the end of human civilization....just ignore the traffic.
Can anybody edit the cars out?
Shaolin Shuffle has just begun
Tisa Farrow sure does look like her more famous sister, Mia! She had just as much, if not more screen presence as her as well. Her career took a different path, with Tisa becoming a cult classic favorite rather than an A-list stsr.
Awesome music.
巨大な橋のゾンビ大行進では急に血色のいいゾンビになってます。
これ後付けしたもので、劇場公開版では本編に出てくるタッチのゾンビが首を回すシーンでした。
The best zombie movie in my opinion
One of my fav films. The twin towers in the back ground is the haze makes it really eary.
They should have continued from this zombie movie
true. wasted opportunity. they could have made the next movie with the guy and the woman too!
@@dmer-zy3rb and found other survisors in the next movie. Maybe blumhouse would do a reboot if they do I hope they will do the movie justice
Those zombies look just like me and other commuters goin to work in Manhattan you can’t tell the difference
Only thing scarier than a zombie apocalypse for me now is an IRS audit
They're going to eat us!
Oh my goooood!
This is what my daily commute looks like.
