My friends and I once held a zombie night.

First up was the new Dawn of the Dead. Fun Fun.

Then Resident Evil 2. We all fell asleep. Honestly, that movie barely had any zombies in it...

Well you have to remember. The reason they are making movies out of other stuff like games and comics is to pretty much liven them up. If you ever notice right after a movie made off a comic the acual comic book is put back on the shelves enforced.
