Zomedy

Apparently, there is a lot of Camp in this Zombie movie "Survival of the Dead". A buddy recommended it. But he also used the term "Zomedy." I hadn't heard that before, and thought it clever. Zombie Comedy. I guess the epitome of the genre is "Shaun of the Dead."

But most zombie movies have SOME comic relief. Or macabre comic relief.

Update: I actually got to SEE Survival of the Dead last night. Thanks to MBtGE's projection TV. Funny? Meh. I guess. It explored ususally Romero themes. Hicks are the bad guys. Also the futility of blood feuds. And the soliders in the movie must use a Bag of Holding to carry around all the ammo they shoot off.
