The Walking Dead Forums

You show us one tv show that has done it better than this one.

The whole comparing this show to films is silly. Most zombie based films have equal time to that of 2-3 episodes of the Walking Dead. I'm sorry, but they have to do a season's worth zombies and special effects on a budget that isn't very high in comparrison to most movies.

I understand what the OP is saying. On the whole, the zombies are great and the blood effects arejust as good, but every now and then, there is a close up of a zombie who just looks to, well, perfect (as in perfect COSTUME). The only time I noticed CGI blood was when Dale shot the arrow through the zombies head, but this was just a momentary distraction. For a TV show, it's is fantastic. The only issue I really have with the show is that sometimes, the zombies seem to....cognizant. For example, in the season premier, the zombie in the motor home acted much like a real person would act; it looked around like it was fully aware that someone could be hiding, and when she dropped the gun, it paused as if it was curious. Then it acted almost angry when trying to break down the door. It's only a minor thing, but I prefer my zombies to be just mindless eating machines. Still a great show, though. Just minor issues.

it smelled her.. it walked by the door and specifically turned to it sniffing, they already established smell is one of their most used hunting skills in "Guts"

I was surprised they didn't go nuts with all that fresh blood laying everywhere... and I wouldn't say the zombie got "mad" trying to get through the door, but it's an aggressive cannibal and it's food is fighting back, of course it's going to get as violent as needed to kill and eat. it's nothing personal, it's "You're food, sorry." see: lion attacks.

Yeah there are a few things that irk people, especially things that I read about the show or where people posted. You are not alone my friend.

I think both Shane and Otis could have made it back to the bus, but they had Shane kill Otis to show that he'd finally cracked.I think they're trying to turn Shane into another villain for the series.

let me tell you, i am a zombie movie fanatic. I think that the walking dead's make-up is right up there with Dawn of the dead. the onlypart that looked fake to me was the explosion at the end of season one. other than that i will give this show a ten out of ten. this show makes resident evil look fake.nothing can beat the tank scene in part one, a real heart pounder. love it, love it and love it again.

dude you are a retard the make-up here is better than 95% of all other zombie flicks Ive seen including movies! And Ive seen alot of zombie movies. As far as the remake of NoTLD, I think the Walking dead has far better effects, and the extremely good for a TV show CG is a very nice compliment to the extemely good make-up. So maybe you need a new TV or somthing to see the picture more clearly (one without a round dial to change the channel) so as to see what the rest of the viewing public is seeing. What really irks me is people like you that nothing is good enough for and a TV show ends up canceled because of stupid remarks like yours without an ounce of common sense thought.

Thank you OP. Guess I am not the only one who saw this too. Some of them are okay and in the shows defense, some of them are just skeleton looking after walking around dead for a while they I would think start to rot.

I noticed the contact lenses, they don't look scary or something. Last season the zombies were something quite frightening this season something is not there . The well zombie I think was just horrible, it looked like something from a cheap b movie. The one zombie in the show this season that actually was scary was the one in the church who turned around with a smile on his face .
