The Classic Film: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
"A ragtag group of Pennsylvanians barricade themselves in an old farmhouse to remain safe from a bloodthirsty, flesh-eating breed of monsters who are ravaging the East Coast of the United States” (IMDb.com). This black & white classic has some rough edges, but it's better than you might expect and redefined zombies for generations to come.

The Modern Film: 28 Weeks Later (2007)
"Six months after the rage virus was inflicted on the population of Great Britain, the US Army helps to secure a small area of London for the survivors to repopulate and start again. But not everything goes according to plan” (IMDb.com). This sequel which included none of the creatives or actors from the original isn't half bad, but it fails to live up to the kinetic energy and fear of the original.
