Why is this so much better than every other zombie movie?

Because it's a cool, rational movie that doesn't romanticize the zombies themselves or fetishize the gore aspects, focusing instead on survivalist tactics and character personality to drive the plot.
>>67114766
I can immediately think of a better one and it rhymes with yours
>>67114831
Isn't that good, it contains much more incoherence than Romero's
>>67114837
So GOAT that it made it onto the patricians' list
Brain Dead is objectively the best zombie movie
>>67115184

>>67115448
lol
>>67115652
ok yeah didn't think of that one, definite contender
>>67114837
That scene with the zombie talking about "the PAIN of being DEAD" outdos everything Romero tried to do in Day of the Dead (which is superior to Dawn.)
>>67115661
Yeah. I just wanted to post the salute

I go for walks in malls on a regular basis. Sometimes, I like to whistle The Gonk while I do this.
A few heads have turned, but if anyone really knew what I was doing... I haven't had a clear indication.
Also OP is correct, it is my personal favorite zombie movie. It is both a critique of consumer culture, but also the first feature film that I'm aware of that gave serious thought to the "long-term" effects of a zombie outbreak, in the modern sense anyway. I'm sure a dedicated anon could point me to antecedents, though, more easily in fiction.
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Zombi 2, and Day of the Dead are my top zombie picks.

Coherence isn't an essential quality for horror films. One of Zombi 2's charms is how unengaging it is for most of its first hour, and then it delivers the best looking zombies ever committed to celloid. The filmmaking is clumsy, but again that's to be expected with horror films. Dawn of the Dead's filmmaking for example is very mediocre, and closer to television than cinema.
>>67115652
Dead Alive was one of my favorites growing up, but it's a bit grating as an adult. More comedy than horror.
>>67115661
The over the top acting is what makes it fun to watch. Day of the Dead is also much tighter as a piece of filmmaking than any of the other Dead films. It's not quite John Carpenter in terms of quality, but it definitely hits that tone.
