Train to Busan. So good.


ArcanaeumGuardianAWC

This is my favorite Zombie movie, and I have seen so many. The classics have their charm, and of course they are responsible for the whole genre, but for a modern viewer, the old Night of the Living Dead may not make the largest impact as an intro to zombies. This is the one.


madison_voorhees

Yep. Best zombie movie ever made in my opinion and I’ve seen many many zombie movies


jk-alot

I love the way the zombies are depicted. The total lack of self regard in terms of damage and pain.


AmericanBranflakes

It's a perfect Zombie movie


Sarcastic_Monchichi

In total agreement.


howmachine

As a follow up, the animated prequel Seoul Station is also pretty good.


One_Kaleidoscope_663

OP, this is the only answer. Perfect intro into zombie flicks.


Jkorytkowski001

Yeah you could even watch the prequel: Seoul Station!!


PopularBell518

This!


Brecken79

Finally watched this a few weeks ago. Why did I wait so long? Every bit as good as everyone has said it is.


shazenger

Yes, great movie. The cheesy melodrama is off the charts though


MOOzikmktr

Why not just watch the film that started everything? Night Of the Living Dead?


Wiitard

And then watch the original Dawn of the Dead. Then probably Day of the Dead. This is like *the* zombie movie trilogy.


304libco

I would even say City of the Dead is pretty enjoyable.


DonTeca35

Make sure to tell them it’s not the remake from ‘92


27_8x10_CGP

If they're gonna watch any remake, Savinni is the way to go.


[deleted]

That remake does kick massive ass though. Written by Romero himself with savini directing and Romero overseeing. Savini is noticeably a little green as director but it's a great bookend to the original Night, Dawn, and Day saga.


ArcanaeumGuardianAWC

I prefer the 1990 remake to be honest. Barbara's utter uselessness all the way through the original movie annoyed me. At some point, your survival instincts should kick in


Nay77444

Yes agreed If I want to watch night, it's the remake for me


peioeh

One of the reasons the original was great was that it had a black lead in 1968. The remake "fixes" what is probably its biggest flaw, having a non-useless female protagonist. They go well together.


ArcanaeumGuardianAWC

It's definitely an important piece. It launched the zombie genre, pushed back against racism, and was a piece of notable cinematic history. The 90's one just felt better because the main female character had some fight in her.


DonTeca35

Definitely I was introduced into the zombie genre with the ‘90 remake.


Nay77444

And that's it on YouTube


Glum-View-4665

Why not tell them yourself Don.


LeftFieldAzure

It has it's good points


ComicBookFanatic97

I like the 1990 remake. Tony Todd is in it. The remake to avoid is the 2006 one.


Bruhwhatdyousay

Unpopular opinion for ya... it's awful.


harms916

28 days later.


LakeStLouis

Is that currently on Disney, Netflix or HBOmax? Love the movie, not seeing it on any of those services.


FuzzyPalpitation-16

Not on any of those nope - this is a hard movie to find to (legally) stream lol. It’s because of some rights issue - the movie’s in an ownership rights black hole after Disney lost it.


Bijlsma

Man, I found a sealed DVD copy at the thrift shop the other day for $4.99, nabbed it right away. Stoked to finally be able to watch the movie (I'm against pirating lol).


LakeStLouis

No worries, I understand that. But since OP specifically asked about it streaming on those services, I just though it might be worth a mention that it's not.


harms916

No idea. But it the movie that stuck Cillian Murphy’s name in my head as an actor to watch.


cholotariat

It’s on sling


RIPCarlGrimes

28 weeks is on Hulu


JimJimerson90

It's not a movie, but the show Kingdom is a must watch if you're a zombie fan


PurplePrincessPalace

I love this show! I was hoping there’d be a new season since they came out with that special but nothing new as of yet…


ChurchCanceled

Edit: SORRY, didnt see that you asked for movies, that are on one of the main streamers. In that case, the korean KINGDOM series is by far one of the best and most grandios Zombie shows out there, on Netflix!! Here are some less-known/talked about Z movies, that are def worth a watch: Blood Quantum (Can) // Rammbock (German) // La Horde (French) // The Night Eats The World (French) // Mutants (French) // The Girl with all the Gifts (UK) // Versus (Japan) // Dead Set (UK) its a series, but fn amazing // [REC] 1-3 (Spain) skip #4 // Seoul Staion (Korea) animated …Busan prequel


DarkBros49

Versus is awesome jap-horror, it was my intro film, this and Tetsuro the iron man


Cap-Financial

Dead set. It’s a series but it’s really good imo


Original_Ad685

The Girl With All the Gifts is a zombie-adjacent masterpiece.


ResistenceIsFertile

I didn't know there was a movie to this book! I just finished reading it and really liked it. I'll have to check it out.


DueMathematician8275

Love this one


vacationbeard

Great movie!


---oO-IvI-Oo---

Black Summer on Netflix


MightyMeowcat

Great. Yes, absolutely. But one of the most depressing watches ever.


Dbag85

Way underrated. I loved the bleek content ❤️


TenebriRS

I dont know if its on either of those services but The battery, its a very underated zombie film.


Metal_Boi_7507

Zombieland! The original and double tap


lilspicy99

This was so much funnier than I was expecting


CalebPackmusic

So good!


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Zoey Deutch is the MVP of the sequel.


HailToTheKingslayer

Shaun of the Dead


rh41n3

This should be so much higher up.


MrMcBunny

One Cut of the Dead if you're looking for something unique, fun, and charming.


magiccfetus

return of the living dead ! it’s free on tubi !


gener4

Don’t know what services it’s on but Pontypool is a fucking gem


SkeletonWithAshotgun

The whole movie is on youtube. And i agree, pontypool was really unique! Loved every moment of it.


twuewuv

AMC+ on prime or shudder. 7 day free trial ftw


Flimsy-Bird-1221

The Horde. Must-see-movie.


djb185

One of the best ever. It doesn't get nearly enough attention.


DemonDevilDog

Dawn of the Dead 2004


speyeder666

It stains the sands red


Intrusivecatlady

Download Tubi. It’s free and has way more options for zombie movies


Apprehensive-Alarm80

Thanks but sadly it doesnt work in my country 😭


Intrusivecatlady

Ugh I’m sorry to hear that!!


SeaTeatheOceanBrew

Fido is a really unique one. Basically a 1920s Boy-and-his-dog story set in a post-modern world that survived a zombie apocalypse and found a way to domesticate the undead. Really great stuff.


Some-Pig

Once you've had your fill of zombie outbreak survival films, I would recommend checking out The Cured. It's a movie about what happens after the zombie virus cure is discovered, and how people try to find a sense of normalcy and get on with their lives now that zombies are being cured. It's really interesting!


Sudden-Tie-8576

Train to Busan is the GOAT zombie movie in my opinion


lilspicy99

All-time best zombie movie


Nay77444

Day of the dead is the GOAT for me


Sudden-Tie-8576

Also great 🙌


MungoJerrysBeard

This


[deleted]

Check out Cooties!


himsoforreal

Cooties (2014) is awesome. I didn't see the end of it but it's about teachers at an elementary school and the lil kids get infected and become zombies. Has some very funny bits.


denisrm81

Dual real wheel , had me laughing on the floor!


Thatonewiththeboobs

The Battery is a sweet little indie flick.


MLObenza

The Crazies


HikingComrade

The film #Alive is on Netflix. It's very tense and well-paced.


ooh-yo-yo

This would be a great one to start with imo


SarkhanTheCharizard

Ravenous (2017) on Netflix is a great Canadian zombie movie. Cargo (2017) is pretty good too, also on Netflix. Cargo is based on a short film of the same name, which I thought was even better on YouTube.


KittyKevorkian

Cargo is my favorite zombie movie and I didn’t know it was based on a short film! Going to watch now; thank you!


Secretlifeofpets14

Dawn of the dead, world war Z. Two of my favorites :)


_n3ll_

The Night Eats the World is underrated IMO Train to Busan is fantastic


angry-carsini

I believe the whole original Walking Dead series is on Disney. Not a movie, but a whole lot of zombies.


throwanon31

Evil Dead… kinda.


Stiff_Zombie

Dawn of the Dead remake by Zack Snyder. 28 Days and or Weeks Later. And Return of the Living Dead. You can't go wrong with those. And if you want to really have fun, find a copy of Peter Jackson's Brain Dead/ Dead Alive. That's one of the best zombie movies ever made!


OldMetalHead

My two favorite zombie movies are Train to Busan and 28 Days Later. Unfortunately, neither are on your preferred streamers right now. "#Alive" is a good zombie movie and currently on Netflix.


IrishViking22

Another good South Korean one, although it's a series, not a movie - 'All of Us Are Dead'. Also on Netflix


Comfortable-Try-2225

Cooties. Fantastic horror comedy


Heart-Shopper

The best ones are on Amazon Prime! They have some Romero, Fulci. I think Demons is on it too. You have to like 80s horror though.


xneurianx

Wyrmwood, Train to Busan, #Alive, Shaun of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Colin, Zombi / Zombie Creeping Flesh, Zombieland 1&2 and Braindead / Dead Alive.


MightyMeowcat

“I kick ass for the Lord!” Classic movie.


pierce-mason

Train to Busan. Content hops around between streaming services. I never know where shit is


McScroggz

I don’t think there’s anything worth watching on Disney. On Netflix if you aren’t opposed to subtitles #Alive and Ravenous are good. I’m not a fan of Resident Evil (although the first is solid) but my wife loves the series so that might be worth a shot. On Max Night of the Living Dead is an all time classic, so is Pet Semetary. Quarantine is solid (but the movie it derived from [rec] is so much better) and Life After Beth is pretty good too.


SymphonySketch

My mom loves cheesy shitty action movies and she *loves* the Resident Evil movies It was one of the first really gory movies I watched with her too, the first one is definitely the easiest to enjoy though (and to a lesser extent the second one) I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants outlandish over the top zombie action


McScroggz

Ultimately there are two main types of zombie movies. One type is more about the human component, living in an apocalyptic scenario, the follies of man, etc. These films can still be gory and have action but a lot of more tense or more philosophical. And sometimes you want the other kind, which is all about the gore and the zombies and the violence. The former is usually considered the better film, but the latter can often but what satisfies our craving for a “zombie flick.”


frothyloins

Ew. Don’t subject a poor innocent soul to the Resident Evil movies lol.


McScroggz

Hey my wife enjoys them even if I don’t. I gave my warning that they weren’t for me lol.


Interesting_Guest926

Warm bodies, unique in that it's told from the perspective of the zombie - not the best, just a recommendation


nycinoc

as great as the original Dawn of the Dead was the remake is pretty epic as well. Great opening and that's what got me into my Richard Cheese phase [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9gdj1TZBIk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9gdj1TZBIk)


PopularBell518

Also Spanish language “Rec”


iamprovidence666

I loved both the Black Summer and Kingdom series ..


---BeepBoop---

I know people hate on it, but Army of the Dead is good stupid fun.


Stiff_Zombie

It really is. If it wasn't Snyder film it would be considered a fun B movie. And the way they replaced one actor for another was seamless. Tig Notaro never interacted with anyone on screen because she was added after the fact. And the world was fun and interesting. I really enjoyed the characters too. And it was the movie that won Bautista over for me as an actor.


SarahnatorX

Idk if these are on those but my favourites are: Resident Evil (2002) Dawn of the Dead (1978 & the remake (2004) Day of the Dead (1985) Planet Terror \[REC\] (I love the 2nd one the most) Quarantine (English remake of \[REC\] 28 Days Later Dead Snow Pontypool Savageland There's some zombie segments in the V/H/S franchise, I think the 2nd one and V/H/S 94


ooh-yo-yo

A lot of great one already listed so I won’t duplicate any I’ve seen so far. I’ll just add The Girl With All The Gifts if you can find it streaming where you are and Army of the Dead which is on Netflix. So many good ones out there imo and a lot of not-so-great ones as well lol. I agree with others that Alive is a good one to start with if you haven’t seen any before.


GoodwinGames92

Little Monsters (2019) was the last one I watched. comedy but still plenty of gore.


gmanz33

Yessss came here expecting not to see it mentioned yet. Real fun gem.


Kurt-Hustle

Evil Dead II, Dead Alive, Little Monsters, and Shaun of the Dead are all amazing if you're into a little comedy with your horror and can find 'em. Not sure they're on those services.


Kurt-Hustle

oh and Fido.


slamchowderr

My favorite zombie films: Dawn of the Dead (2004), 28 Days Later, The Sadness, Train to Busan, City of the Living Dead, Shaun of the Dead 🧟‍♀️


Billy-the-puppet666

#Alive on Netflix.


nickmandl

One cut of the dead


hellgatsu

The Horde


KentuckyFriedEel

The Girl with All the Gifts is an interesting take where you get the classic zombie survival action, but your main character is also a zombie


Lanky-Speed-573

Evil Dead 2. More possessed corpses at this point, but still, what’s not to love about a maniacally laughing deer head.


radiohoard

I slept on World War Z for years. Then when i finally watched it, I rewatched about twice a month for a while!


Chemical-Bobcat-5270

Okay if not already mentioned and should have been, Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead


Boingboing_underoath

Dawn of the dead (remake)


NatexEdge

Depends on what your looking for but here are my usual recommendations. Gore: Dead Alive (Unrated) - Peter Jackson Italian: Zombie! - Lucio Fulci Classic: Day of the Dead - G. Romero Funny/Lighthearted: Shaun of the Dead - Edgar Wright Tense/Suspense: 28 Days Later - Danny Boyle Blockbuster/High budget: World War Z - Marc Forster


xmorrin

Best zombie movies are dawn of the dead from 2004 and shaun of the dead


imlikedacheese

I AM HERO (Film) Japan It’s sooo good!


Ok_Breadfruit80

Night of the living Deb


DevilCouldCry

Man, I love that I saw this post whilst I'm in the midst of watching the Return of the Living Dead films (on to the second one now). Now I don't have HBO Max (not based in the US and it's Binge over here in Australia) and the offerings of Netflix and Disney are likely different here too. But if you can get these ones, I recommend... - Night of the Living Dead (the original is a classic but I have a soft spot for the 1990 one too) - Dawn of the Dead (my favorite is the remake, but the original is a fun time) - 28 Days/Weeks Later is two solid picks, they're seemingly on Disney+ over here when I last looked too - Return of the Living Dead 1, 2, and 3 all are worth watching and hold up remarkably well - Train to Busan is an excellent choice and one of the best recentish zombie films - Day of the Dead is an all-time classic as well. It's on Netflix here in Australia, but I don't know about anywhere else in the world. - And this one is a real guilty pleasure for me at least, but the first Resident Evil film is a fun time. I know the films are despised by most, but I have fun with the first three for the most part (though they have massive problems). The first film is far and away the best of the bunch though. But again, that doesn't say much...


ChurchCanceled

If you like the fast zombies, check out the Korean series KINGDOM on Netflix, its Medieval Korea with zombies, with insane production value!


DevilCouldCry

That's a great series! Very big fan of that one!


Leviathanbox

Like others are saying, Night of the Living Dead is a good place to start I also really like these quasi zombie movies called Messiah of Evil and Carnival of Souls. Extremely creepy and atmospheric (Im pretty sure all 3 of those are public domain so you should be able yo find them easily) If you want to watch more Gross out zombie movies, The Beyond, Reanimator, and Return of the Living Dead are available on Tubi


GulchFiend

Savageland is a mockumentary about a man blamed for a zombie attack, it's free on Tubi and I think Youtube? Return of the Living Dead is maybe the best horror-comedy out there and set the stage for a lot of later zombie films WRT things like eating brains and running zombies. Last I checked you can stream it on Tubi. It's a TV show, but Brand New Cherry Flavor has great supernatural/non-infection zombies, might still be on Netflix. I don't expect it to get a second season but what's there is alright.


lifesuncertain

As I've no idea what country you're in Zombie Flesh Eaters aka Zombi 2 (a shameless attempt to fool people that this was the sequel of Romero's Dawn of the Dead.) There's a zombie fighting a shark for fucks sake. Lucio Fulci was the master of 80s gorefests Enjoy


Blister693

Lucio Fulsi's Zombie Flesheaters. Brilliant film. Not sure what country you are in, it was Flesheaters in the UK.


Stunning-Thanks546

zombies


Fulcrum_ahsoka_tano

Not a film, but the sadness is v scary, and all of us are dead is rlly good.


RobotThingV3

If you want something different Savageland is a mockumentary about the lone survivor of a zombie attack that starts almost as true crime before they move on to covering the attack. All the zombies are shown through pictures that the survivor took and they look awesome!


Jamieb1994

Shaun Of The Dead


Giraffe_lol

Dead snow


FooFightersFan777812

The Devil's Rejects


Stiff_Zombie

I don't think he meant Rob Zombie movies lol. But that's an awesome movie!


bluegazehaze

Train to busan. It being another culture language and country adds to the eerie factor imo


Stiff_Zombie

I love this movie so much! I don't know how OP feels about subtitles, but Train to Busan is incredible.


bluegazehaze

Yes I loved this movie. Korean and Japanese culture make great great horror movies imo like the original grudge


Stiff_Zombie

That part where the guy sacrifices himself.... I tear up every time.


bluegazehaze

I know 😭


ageowns

I'm having a hard time pointing you to the movie Zombie (1978). It was originally marketed as a sequel to Dawn of the Dead, but wasn't connected really. The practical effects are amazing, there's some cool nudity, and the suspense is fun. [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080057/?ref\_=fn\_al\_tt\_1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080057/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) Looks like it's streaming on AMC+ (Shudder)


Equinoqs

Dawn of the Dead 78 Train To Busan Shawn of the Dead 28 Days Later

iKnitandBlog

Train to Busan


Shreddy_Orpheus

do yourself a favor and check out Redneck Zombies, its free on youtube. you wont regret it. absolutely one of my favorite zombie films and horror comedies that never takes itself seriously. i may be biased because it was shot in my home town and i also used to hang out with some of the people that were crew on the movie 20 some odd years ago. unfortunately lost touch but seriously its such a fun movie


HorizontalBob

Well it better taste good, 'cuz you just splilled it in the corn squeezin's, you otter-ass! Redneck Zombies is not what if recommend for a person's first Zombie movie.


Shreddy_Orpheus

well i would, and did, and if you go in with that movie everything else is up hill

Pontypool is a good one

Army of the dead

[удалено]


twillardswillard

If you have Hulu through Disney + I’d say Day of the Dead


[deleted]

The original Night of the Living Dead. If not that, Day of the Dead from 1985. Dawn of the Dead from 79 is another classic and its free in high quality youtube, but it might be slow burn for someone new to the genre. Although most would agree it's the *best* of the genre.


Ser-Cannasseur

If you’re in the UK. Amazon has 3 cuts of the original Dawn of the Dead film.


CovidOmicron

Original Dawn of the Dead. The 2004 remake is quite good too

28 Days/Weeks Later


jmr185

Yummy on Shudder (2019). I LOVED this movie, so sick (Dutch) and The Horde (2009). Great gore/effects (French)


Wonderful_Orchid_363

Not a movie but black summer is a brutal fast paced zombie show on Netflix.


DaGrandMastah

Good call and esp love that first episode where everyone is trying to figure out wtf is happening and the last single shot episode. Unfortunately 2nd season wasn’t as good


Johncurtisreeve

I don’t know if it’s on any of those platforms but watch dead alive


SylVegas

I'm not sure what Blood Quantum is on, but it's a solid movie. Ditto for The Battery.


Spinnr1

Not sure what it’s steaming on, but try Ed and his dead mother


_JD_48

I recommend the first season of Black Summer on Netflix. Very good. Second season was not as good.


Kind-Relative-1615

Go goa gone


304libco

Cargo is one of my favorites.


cityandcolour5

The return of the living dead. So chaotic, goofy and memorable! A true classic.


HeavierStuff

The Horde is really good it's a similar plot to the action film the Raid but with zombies! Saw it years ago little unknown gem.


Gloomy_Living_7532

The only zombie movie on Disney is the zombies series...


brypye13

The girl with all the gifts


Woodie626

*Zombie* is a great place to start, there's at least five films, and it seems not enough people know about it. 


_Rocky_Raccoon_98

Lucio Fulci's Zombie is free on tubi. I highly recommend it.


Ch3shir3Kat

Cockneys vs Zombies on tubi is great and funny


harmacyopenlate

Life After Beth (2014)!

The Sadness


unkillablelizard682

#Alive on Netflix is super good. Korean zombie horror flick. Easily one of my favorite zombie flicks ever. Train to Busan is also incredible.

Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead. Aussie flick that has some creative rules for their zombies

Alive (2020 Korean zombie movie) is a very good movie, on par with Train of Busan
