    Didn't one of these zombie movies end with them doing that and finding zombies on the island? Was that the Dawn of the Dead remake or something else?

          Isn't the likelihood of them not only finding you but coordinating so there are millions when they have no navigate on the pitch black seabed pretty low? Maybe not so much if it's alcatraz or something but anything reasonably far offshore should be safe.

            zombies walking on seabed is one of the most moronic ideas imaginable
            them being underwater on top of everything you said would exacerbate the decomposition by million fold, not to mention they would get picked a part by all sorts of sea life, they would also get crushed by pressure

                to add to this, the zombies in popular media (day of the dead, TWD) aren't 'rotting'. if they were they would be bloated and bursting open at the seams, and they wouldn't last a week before the flesh slid off the bone and they turned into soup. when you take wildlife out of the equation, including insects and bacteria, you get what you see on screen: dry shrunken skin pulled tight over the skull, gums receded to show the teeth, cloudy but intact eyeballs, along with whatever wounds they sustained from stumbling around like morons. they resemble mummies like john torrington, who was in good condition after 100 years of permafrost refrigeration but far from 'pristine'.

      There was another one, where the villagers of the island find out that horse flesh is a good substitute for human flesh to th3 zombies in the end. The mayor's daughter has died and upon death she returns as a zombie and is kept hidden people find out and want to kill her. Island is divided.. that's when they find out that zombies will eat any living horse even with humans in reach.

          Fido is interesting because it runs with that "Shaun of the Dead ending" concept where zombies happened but they didn't actually manage to destroy civilization; somewhat realistically because they're unarmed and moronic

          It's also one of the edgiest and most genuinely transgressive plot conceits I've ever seen that the guy who fricks his zombie is one of the protagonists and the other heroic characters treat him with "You're weird as hell but you're all right dude"

        Around after season 2 of Walking Dead is probably the best example of what you are looking for, the zombies pretty much stop being a threat unless people explicitly weaponize them midway through season 3 once they clear out prison (Governor used them as a siege tool, there was a gang of tards who called themselves Wolves who set up traps with zombies, actually one time main characters used a tactic against Saviors where the point was to kill couple of people with thousand cuts, keep pressure on and wait until they die and reanimated Saviors attacked their own, and finally the Whisperers who controlled zombies like herds and basically accepted that it's their world and survived by mimicking them and literally walking among them) or there's too many of them.

        Shawn of the Dead, but only by the end really.

    They do. In Day they fly off to a tropical island at the end and in the Dawn remake they sail off to an island. There's also the Dead Island games and since technically new york is an island, the entire Walking Dead: Dead City takes place on an island. Should also mention Survival of the Dead because that takes place on an island as well.

    They could just go to Montana. Don't know if you've ever been, but there's no way they would get massive waves of zombies. The largest city has like 75,000 people and the cities are seperated by hundreds of miles of rough terrain that is almost impossible to walk through in the winter. At any moment, the morgue maybe has 5 bodies in there - maximum. All the north central states are like that. Just go there.

        People on here really are neets who never go out. If anybody on here had ever been camping or hunting they would know how rugged and isolated the wilderness is. Outside of downtown areas of major cities, waves of people are impossible because there is not that many people and the world is full of empty space. You don't need to go to an island, any isolated area outside of a city will be relatively empty. All zombie media is written by the same morons who made up idiotic scenarios about pandemics - and none of that came to pass in an actual pandemic.

          realistically you wouldn't need to do all this wacky shit, the military could easily handle zombies on land

          There's two different suspensions of disbelief
          How zombies "work" is of course magical thinking by itself, they violate conservation of energy etc.
          But there's the additional tactical suspension of disbelief where "If they're slow, dumb and bite people how did they eliminate 99% of the human race in the first place, for frick's sake we did better against sabretooth tigers millennia before anyone invented a gun"
          And a shocking amount of zombie fiction "explains" this by just going "civilization was conquered by the zombies offscreen while you were in a coma or something"

          Bizarrely, Night of the Living Dead itself avoided this because the name implied there would be one very nasty evening where a lot of unaware and unlucky people got surrounded, and then the zombies would be wiped out by militias in short order. That was the genre starter and then everybody else forgot it.

      I used to a lot before I got kids, after that not so much.
      Scenario was Resident Evil+Stalker+Mad Max; I'd imagine how I would equip my vehicle and gear on person etc. Day dreaming or as I'm going to sleep.
      Childish, but fun.

    What's the name of that game where you're trapped on an island resort that's overrun with zombies? You can make your own weapons and shit.

    bc its a made up concept that can and will never happen in real life and you waste the single neuron you call brain for computing scenarios like this.

    zombies are supposed to be decaying but somehow you never see zombies that decayed until they arent mobile anymore

    Anyone interested in zombie genre should read Day by day Armageddon I & Ii.
    It was written by an actual navy pilot and is the best zombie survival novel out there, still haven't read pt. III though

    Oh wow what an original idea I'm sure absolutely no one else would think of that. I bet the roads are clear and the shops are still full of food too. You're a genius!
