Training
Videos
by Team Austin An important facet of Team Apocalypto membership is familiarity with the enemy. Here at headquarters, training videos are shown at regular meetings. It is advised that all members of Team Apocalypto become experts in the zombie movie genre, to ensure that we remain at the cutting edge of zombie-preparedness strategy, technology, and innovation.
Training Videos: A quick search on Amazon or the IMDB will reveal hundreds of zombie movies, which are all thoroughly reviewed by others. We leave the reviewing to them. However, in order to help narrow down these hundreds of films to a more manageable level, we have listed below several films of particular note. These films stand out for the ground-breaking quality of the film making, the cleverness of the storyline, the brilliance of the acting, or in some cases the sheer campy grotesquerie of the film concept. 5 brains - absolutely phenomenal 4 brains - awesome 3 brains - impressive 2 brains - noteworthy 1 brain - entertaining |
