Well, yeah....though I must say, the DEAD movies are good beyond #2.

There are four right? Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and Land of the Dead. Am I missing any? I don't think they are good past the second movie. The second two do fit right into your definition:

*=Well, arguable in that the kills/gore became more laughable, as if the filmmakers finally realized that nobody's scared...

For example, while the first two movies were scary because they felt real with an enemy that had no reason to exist other than to kill and eat live humans. "Day..." introduces a zombie that can be trained and is able to shoot a gun. "Land..." takes it way too far in my opinion with the one zombie "leader" who herds an army of dead against a large city and the characters who fight back seem to have been taken right out of bad '80's action movies.

If there are other "Dead" movies that are as good as the first two let me know because I'm missing out. I love good zombie movies.
