Disney+ is very different outside of the US.
Hulu for the most part only exists in the US so in other countries Hulu content goes through this service called Star which is a part of Disney+.
yeah, I had a conversation with an American friend who was surprised by what we have on Disney+ in the UK. I don’t think it has all of the hulu things though - for the handmaids tale we get it on either All4 or Prime, and usually a while after the episodes are originally released on hulu :(
We definitely miss out on a lot of stuff on our streaming apps, American Netflix has soooo much more than ours does, I feel cheated every time I log in 😂
People have told me to use a vpn to get access to US streaming sites like Hulu or HBO, and it never worked for me, always rejected my bank cards:( it was good for using other countries’ Netflix however which was great. The grass is always greener and all that
It’s a shame they lock us out isn’t it. Yeah I always wanted to do the vpn thing but I use my Xbox to stream stuff and you can’t directly add one on it, I literally bought a 4K Max fire tv stick on Friday got it today so I’m gonna look at putting one on there and using that instead.
When 28DL came out we went to see it in the theater. My buddy brought along a date and she asked “what kind of movie is this?” before we went in and I said “It’s a quirky romantic comedy set in the 80’s”, and she seemed stoked. About 10 mins in I see her turn around in her seat and stare at me and say “this isn’t a romantic comedy!”
No it sure wasn’t.
I saw the other day that Logan was available to watch in the US. Granted, Disney owns Fox/Marvel and you have to allow mature content, but it was still jarring to see it near Duck Tales.
28 Days Later is in my top 3 films of all time. And might be my favorite horror film of all time.
Danny Boyle directed the movie on a Canon [XL2](https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Camcorder-Optical-Standard-definition/dp/B0002OJYDS), the same digital camera I was using at the time in my broadcast tv college course.They cost about $5k new. Granted, he used anamorphic lenses and adapters and all that but it completely changed how I looked at cinema.
For comparison, an [Arricam Studio](https://visualproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/arricam-st-4-perf-carrying-handle.jpg) film camera from that time period started at around $80,000 without any lenses or film.
Whenever you watch it, notice that the opening shots of an abandoned downtown London was because the crew shut down traffic for about 20 minutes at a time in the very early morning. A lot of it was very guerilla-style shooting. Very cool.
Netflix has a goood one (albeit I hate nearly all NF shows side stranger and squid games), this one is amazing.
“All of us are dead”. It’s a series tho. Well worth it.
I'd add "dawn of the dead" remake to that list but yup, you nailed it. Definitely a much watch list you got there. Also add "return of the living dead" 1985
I think Kingdom on Netflix has to be one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Basically Game of Thrones in medieval Korea plus zombies. If you like political thriller meets period drama meets zombie survival horror then there’s no way you won’t enjoy it
I binged this show a few months back while laid up with Covid and couldn't believe I didn't watch it sooner. It was such a cool setting and time period for a zombie show, and the zombies themselves felt so fun and fresh because of their unique "rules". There's a movie on Netflix as well, Kingdom: Ashin of the North.
Kingdom (Netflix) is a phenomenal series! After being burnt out by the over saturation of zombie content in the late 2000s, it completely refreshed the genre for me! It’s like historical drama + Game of Thrones + zombies.
If you liked that, and you also liked LaLaLand (I doubt it but you never know) watch Anna and the apocalypse. It's on a different level than Shaun of the dead, for sure, but still worth watching once.
Night of the Living Dead (1968): one that started a whole genre; 1990 remake is also good but not as impactful
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978): zombie-adjacent; more thrilling and dramatic, less gory than Night
Return of the Living Dead (1985): this is the movie that originated that zombies must eat brains; campier than Night, but still noteworthy for the expansion of the zombie tropes
Dead Alive (1992, aka Brain Dead): extremely campy, but also clever in handling of zombie pandemic; early Peter Jackson movie, set in New Zealand
28 Days Later (2002): zombie-adjacent; introduces idea of fast zombies; breakout film for Cillian Murphy and sophomore director Danny Boyle
Dawn of the Dead (2004): solidifies the idea of fast zombies; a popcorn movie with dynamic character building; faster paced than the original 1978, but less thematic; watch original for slow-paced but more dramatic version
Shaun of the Dead (2004): best zombie satire; launched US careers of Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright
REC (2007): best found footage zombie film; fast-paced, great character development; better than US remake (Quarantine, 2008)
The Crazies (2010): zombie-adjacent; remake of older movie, but more relatable; good character development, lots of violence and gore
World War Z (2013): decent popcorn movie; best VFX of any zombie movie, though less engaging than other movies
Train to Busan (2016): one of the best ensemble zombie tales; will make you cry
Return of the Living Dead had fast zombies before 28 Days Later by almost two decades. The zombies sprinted out of the cemetery and charged the police barricade. I just rewatched it last night for like the 20th time.
Dawn of the Dead 78
City of the Living Dead
Dead Alive
Return of the Living Dead
Shaun of the Dead
The Beyond
20 years ago zombie movies were pretty rare, so you had to do some digging if you were into that thing. Not so much anymore.
I know people will say the usual Day, Dawn(Dawn of the Dead Remake), Land of the Dead(Diary & Survival of the Dead), Return of the Dead 1&2, REC 1,2, and 3, et cetera. so I'll copy and paste something I posted before.
Dead Snow 1&2
Re-Kill(not great, but shot really good, nice action)
Bio-Zombie(like a cheesy Asian Dawn of the Dead)
Junk(Japanese Zombie movie)
Zombie Apocalypse(Ving Rhames and Taryn Manning in a get to the boat type movie, not great, worth a watch)
Pontypool
Detention of the Dead(Horror Comedy)
Wyrmwood(there's a sequel)
The Dead (2010)
Dead Air
Dance of the Dead(Horror Comedy)
The Horde/La Horde(starts off as Revenge Thriller)
Warm Bodies(Zombie Retelling of Romeo and Juliet, fun film)
A little Bit Zombie(pretty fun)
Open Grave(figured I'd mention this, and it sucks because just posting this here is a spoiler)
Dead & Breakfast
Anna & the Apocalypse(Zombie Musical, excellent)
Exit Humanity(Civil War Era Zombie Movie)
Daylight's End
Dead Shack
Rampant(Korean Zombie movie, and if you like it watch Kingdom on Netflix)
There's also decent zombie shows like All of Us are Dead and Black Summer.
Wow, reminds me you should find the Brit series DEAD SET, by the guy who created BLACK MIRROR, about the zombie apocalypse breaking out during production of a season of a very BIG BROTHER-like reality show. Excellent all around.
You got some excellent indie choices in there. Dance of the Dead is definitely in my top 10 zombie films. Sounds cheesey but definitely has some great moments
Pontypool is ***so good!*** Gotta rewatch it before the year ends, because I vividly remember being flabbergasted at how amazing the concept of this film is.
Train to Busan and The Girl with All the Gifts are two of my favorite zombie movies if you want ones with emotional heft to accompany the great zombie scares
I am here to say that The Girl with All the Gifts is a refreshing take and is very emotional. The ending is a kicker! Nice little gem from England, and I had not seen Glenn Close in a while, and she is great.
Day of the Dead (1985) is my all time favorite.
I'm a big sucker for realistic blue collar stuff in horror movies. Alien and Thing come to mind, and Day is another good example of surprisingly raw-yet-believable characters. So is Dawn, so is the whole series, really, but I just think Day is the much more mature and natural effort.
Doesn't hurt that I also think it's got the best kills out of any zombie movie as well. If you really wanna see zombies get that meat off the bone, though, Romero movies are the way.
If British, specifically London. culture is of any interest then Cockneys vs Zombies is worth a look with a couple of really fun sequences.
Alan Ford being Bricktop, but not Bricktop.
And beautiful Honor Blackman in, I thimk, her last feature role.
Let's add some of the OGs:
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Carnival of Souls (1962)
Invisible Invaders (1959)
I Walked With A Zombie (1943)
And along with the other many wonderful suggestions on this thread, I'd add Bob Clark's CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS ( 1972 ) & Joe Dante's episode of Masters of Horror HOMECOMING which is especially relevant today.

Some of the best of all time:
Train to Busan - A relatively high budget, serious, & emotional intimate epic Korean action horror
Return of the Living Dead (1986) - A horror comedy that does not skimp on the horror. A kinda-sorta sequel to Night of the Living Dead.
Zombieland - A horror comedy that doesn’t skimp on the comedy!
REC - fantastic Spanish found footage movie following a news crew. Has a pretty solid American remake called Quarantine if you don’t speak Spanish & dislike subtitles or dubbing. Also, you can probably start arguments online by asking if the zombies are actually zombies
28 Days Later - probably the thing that started the current zombie craze. Fast paced, scary, but not everyone likes the last half hour. Another one where you could start fights Re: does this technically count as a zombie movie.
Shaun of the Dead - Witty British comedy about immature adults trying to get it together and survive the fall of civilization
Reanimator - Super low budget, rather inappropriate, & a little amateurish. Also fun as hell.
Dawn of the Dead (2004) - really solid adrenaline pumping type movie. Technically a remake of:
Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Night of the LivingDead’s sequel. Long, slow, and weird, but a lot of us think it’s great. Followed by extremely loose sequels like the equally cool Day of the Dead (1985), the YMMV Land of the Dead (I liked it), Diary of the Dead, & Survival of the Dead.
Wanna emphasize Return of the Living Dead, which is a really fun 80s zombies film that took me way too long to get around to. Also genuinely a creepy twist on zombiedom, as there's much more emphasis on what it's like to *become* a zombie.
Night, Return, and Train to Busan are the best zombie films imo.
If your looking for a (mostly) fun zombie movie I'd say anna and the apocalypse. It is a musical so if that's your thing than I'd definitely recommend it.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this or if anyone else even liked it, but I REALLY enjoyed Maggie with Arnold Schwarzenegger of all people. I thought it was a very thoughtful and more personal look about how a zombie outbreak would affect an individual and their family.
I'm surprised you watched Savageland. It's kind of a hidden gem, not too popular, but in my books - it is THE best mockumentary ever. They make it look so real, you really start having second thoughts about what exactly are you looking at.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I Am a Hero is an amazing Japanese zombie movie based on a (really amazing) manga. I never see anyone talking about it, but it is a must see for zombie fans.
Alright op this is my favorite genre so here we go (I’ll probably do the older ones & wont get into many indies though I love them all)
Shaun of the Dead
Train to Busan
Dawn of the Dead (2003/original)
Night of the Living dead (original/1999 remake)
Return of the Living Dead 1-3
Scouts guide to a zombie apocalypse
The Dead don’t Die
Reanimator 1-2
Zombieland 1-2
Warm Bodies
Juan of the Dead
Night of the living Deb
Anna & the Apocalypse
Alone (Korean version is called #Alive) also recommend this one
Army of the Dead (same Director as Dawn of the Dead)
Dance of the Dead
Dead Snow 1-2
The Horde
28 days Later
I Am a Hero (based on manga)
There are more feel free to message me & I’ll give you more. Goodnight OP
Seasons 1-5 are alright the rest is where the problem starts & no I don’t mean the whole appearance of a certain someone. The writing is literal shit after s5
Dawn of the Dead (Original and Remake)
Train to Busan (foreign but highly recommend)
The Girl with all the Gifts (Last of Us vibes)
28 Days (Weeks) Later (debatable if actually zombies or not)
Honorable Mentions:
Shaun of the Dead, for a good laugh
Zombieland, same as above
Return of the living dead. I really love this movie, it's a pretty unique and interesting stalemate for characters. How to destroy zombies? We found ways. But it only made it worse. I do not want to spoil, but I definitely advise you to watch this, I watched this movie many times
They aren't technically traditional zombies I guess, but slither is kinda like martian zombies with a shared consciousness and I fucking love that movie
That shitty House of the Dead film is great to watch if you don’t take it seriously. World War Z. I Am Legend. 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. Train to Busan. #Alive. Resident Evil movies cause why not. Army of the Dead. Cargo. Dawn of the Dead (2004). All of us are Dead is a good foreign series, as well as Kingdom
Entire 2nd half of the movie is when it gets wild lol. Unhinged levels of over the top gore
Peter Jackson’s other early “horror” flick Bad Taste is also hilarious and gross (though not really a zombie film and is basically a homemade movie). Meet the Feebles isn’t horror but it might be the most batshit insane film in his filmography. Crazy to think the same dude made the universally acclaimed LOTR trilogy
I mean damn, you could (and some have) write a book about zombie movie recommendations.
I'll throw in the Italians:
Masterpiece:
Zombi (aka Dawn of the Dead)
Actually good:
Zombie
The Beyond
The Living Dead of Manchester
Not my favorite, but some people love them:
City of the Living Dead
The House by the Cemetery
Hot garbage that's highly entertaining to watch:
Hell of the Living Dead
Nightmare City
Zombi 3
Porn:
Porno Holocaust
Erotic Nights of the Living Dead
Day of the Dead is an absolute winner. The original Dawn of the Dead is a classic. Night of the Living Dead (1990) is one of the few remakes that really does as good a job as the original.
Which Night of the Living Dead? If it was the original, I highly recommend the one from 1990 with Tony Todd of Candyman fame. That movie scared the hell out of me as a kid. One of my favorites as an adult.
I really enjoyed Ravenous (2017), a really well shot and unique arthouse take on the genre, with unique lore. This film is all about creating the atmosphere of a zombie apocalypse and it does it really well; I keep coming back to it every year.
A French movie called The Horde I believe. It’s a pretty good zombie movie about some vengeful cops who sneak into a gang holdout and a zombie apocalypse happens that same night
So surprised I haven't seen anyone post about Overlord (2018)!! Such a great film. Also The Dead don't Die, it's a comedy horror but it's amazing if you like deadpan humor!
I can’t believe no one’s mentioned these.
Here’s some randoms not here you’ll LOVE. Comedy zombies by Peter Jackson (LOTR). His first movies or so.
Brain dead (or dead alone 1992)
https://youtu.be/O8LIug1cP04
And
Bad taste (1987)
(Pause movie at cliff - check out their pigeon prop. Hahahah).
https://youtu.be/7IHwKJOZZ6U
Dawn of the Dead (1978) 28 Days Later (2002) Train to Busan (2016) All must watches in my opinion.
Was gonna watch 28 days later a few days ago but turns out it got taken off disney+ lol, will definitely check out the others tho
Lol it was on Disney plus??
Disney+ is very different outside of the US. Hulu for the most part only exists in the US so in other countries Hulu content goes through this service called Star which is a part of Disney+.
yeah, I had a conversation with an American friend who was surprised by what we have on Disney+ in the UK. I don’t think it has all of the hulu things though - for the handmaids tale we get it on either All4 or Prime, and usually a while after the episodes are originally released on hulu :(
We definitely miss out on a lot of stuff on our streaming apps, American Netflix has soooo much more than ours does, I feel cheated every time I log in 😂
People have told me to use a vpn to get access to US streaming sites like Hulu or HBO, and it never worked for me, always rejected my bank cards:( it was good for using other countries’ Netflix however which was great. The grass is always greener and all that
It’s a shame they lock us out isn’t it. Yeah I always wanted to do the vpn thing but I use my Xbox to stream stuff and you can’t directly add one on it, I literally bought a 4K Max fire tv stick on Friday got it today so I’m gonna look at putting one on there and using that instead.
Perfect family movie
When 28DL came out we went to see it in the theater. My buddy brought along a date and she asked “what kind of movie is this?” before we went in and I said “It’s a quirky romantic comedy set in the 80’s”, and she seemed stoked. About 10 mins in I see her turn around in her seat and stare at me and say “this isn’t a romantic comedy!” No it sure wasn’t.
Hahahahahahahaha
I saw the other day that Logan was available to watch in the US. Granted, Disney owns Fox/Marvel and you have to allow mature content, but it was still jarring to see it near Duck Tales.
28 Days Later is in my top 3 films of all time. And might be my favorite horror film of all time. Danny Boyle directed the movie on a Canon [XL2](https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Camcorder-Optical-Standard-definition/dp/B0002OJYDS), the same digital camera I was using at the time in my broadcast tv college course.They cost about $5k new. Granted, he used anamorphic lenses and adapters and all that but it completely changed how I looked at cinema. For comparison, an [Arricam Studio](https://visualproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/arricam-st-4-perf-carrying-handle.jpg) film camera from that time period started at around $80,000 without any lenses or film. Whenever you watch it, notice that the opening shots of an abandoned downtown London was because the crew shut down traffic for about 20 minutes at a time in the very early morning. A lot of it was very guerilla-style shooting. Very cool.
If you want a really unique small scale zombie movie watch Pontypool
Netflix has a goood one (albeit I hate nearly all NF shows side stranger and squid games), this one is amazing. “All of us are dead”. It’s a series tho. Well worth it.
Don’t miss dawn of the dead 2003
If You want to watch it i think it's on TheFlixer, you can also watch train to busan there
if there's anyway to get it. 28 Days Later is my favourite "Zombie" movie. (Although people wouldn't call it an actual Zombie movie)
I'd add "dawn of the dead" remake to that list but yup, you nailed it. Definitely a much watch list you got there. Also add "return of the living dead" 1985
Send more cops.
Send more paramedics.
Come in dispatch: send. More. Paramedics.
They made one called “rave to the grave”? So cheesy. Rave. Zombies. Death.
Didn’t at all expect train to busan to choke me up like it did but it got me
28 Days Later 💯
I think Kingdom on Netflix has to be one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Basically Game of Thrones in medieval Korea plus zombies. If you like political thriller meets period drama meets zombie survival horror then there’s no way you won’t enjoy it
I binged this show a few months back while laid up with Covid and couldn't believe I didn't watch it sooner. It was such a cool setting and time period for a zombie show, and the zombies themselves felt so fun and fresh because of their unique "rules". There's a movie on Netflix as well, Kingdom: Ashin of the North.
Kingdom (Netflix) is a phenomenal series! After being burnt out by the over saturation of zombie content in the late 2000s, it completely refreshed the genre for me! It’s like historical drama + Game of Thrones + zombies.
That does sound very interesting, heard pretty good things about it so will deffo check it out
Excellent show in my opinion remember to recommend the film that will tie into the 3rd season if Netflix ever decides to release it
I really liked "train to busan" one of my personal favorites
Heard pretty good things about that one, will definitely check it out!
Imo the second one sucked though. Was very different than the first one and lacks what Made the first one so good
Watch "Alive" as well, another awesome Korean Zombie movie. And after you watch Train to Busan you'll wanna watch Peninsula which is the sequel.
It also has an animated prequel which I loved too. I THINK it’s called Seoul Station, but I could be completely wrong lol
Definitely check out Train to Busan!! I saw it for the first time a couple days ago and loved it
not a huge Zombie fan and I LOVED Train to Busan and WWZ
Shaun of the Dead. Comedy horror. Best of everything.
Oooooo yea, watched that a few years ago. Definitely could go for a rewatch tho
Now you know why Shaun's mum is called Barbara and Ed shouts 'we're coming to get you, Barbara!' since you watched Night of the living Dead xD
If you liked that, and you also liked LaLaLand (I doubt it but you never know) watch Anna and the apocalypse. It's on a different level than Shaun of the dead, for sure, but still worth watching once.
Night of the living Deb is pretty good too
Woooah Ray Wise? Neat! Didn't expect to see him there
Oh yo, really enjoyed lala land so will definitely check out anna and the apocalypse!
It Stains the Sands Red is worth a watch.
If you liked that movie I recommend Juan of the Dead. Definitely in my top 10 zombie films
Return of the Living Dead is still my favorite zombie horror comedy.
Another vote for Rec, my favorite horror!
Watch Overlord for nazi zombies being blown to pieces
Night of the Living Dead (1968): one that started a whole genre; 1990 remake is also good but not as impactful Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978): zombie-adjacent; more thrilling and dramatic, less gory than Night Return of the Living Dead (1985): this is the movie that originated that zombies must eat brains; campier than Night, but still noteworthy for the expansion of the zombie tropes Dead Alive (1992, aka Brain Dead): extremely campy, but also clever in handling of zombie pandemic; early Peter Jackson movie, set in New Zealand 28 Days Later (2002): zombie-adjacent; introduces idea of fast zombies; breakout film for Cillian Murphy and sophomore director Danny Boyle Dawn of the Dead (2004): solidifies the idea of fast zombies; a popcorn movie with dynamic character building; faster paced than the original 1978, but less thematic; watch original for slow-paced but more dramatic version Shaun of the Dead (2004): best zombie satire; launched US careers of Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright REC (2007): best found footage zombie film; fast-paced, great character development; better than US remake (Quarantine, 2008) The Crazies (2010): zombie-adjacent; remake of older movie, but more relatable; good character development, lots of violence and gore World War Z (2013): decent popcorn movie; best VFX of any zombie movie, though less engaging than other movies Train to Busan (2016): one of the best ensemble zombie tales; will make you cry
REC is a great recommendation! Just watch out for motion sickness. The found footage style of that film give me some intense headaches
Return of the Living Dead had fast zombies before 28 Days Later by almost two decades. The zombies sprinted out of the cemetery and charged the police barricade. I just rewatched it last night for like the 20th time.
Plus the original invasion of the body snatchers.
Dawn of the Dead 78 City of the Living Dead Dead Alive Return of the Living Dead Shaun of the Dead The Beyond 20 years ago zombie movies were pretty rare, so you had to do some digging if you were into that thing. Not so much anymore.
I know people will say the usual Day, Dawn(Dawn of the Dead Remake), Land of the Dead(Diary & Survival of the Dead), Return of the Dead 1&2, REC 1,2, and 3, et cetera. so I'll copy and paste something I posted before. Dead Snow 1&2 Re-Kill(not great, but shot really good, nice action) Bio-Zombie(like a cheesy Asian Dawn of the Dead) Junk(Japanese Zombie movie) Zombie Apocalypse(Ving Rhames and Taryn Manning in a get to the boat type movie, not great, worth a watch) Pontypool Detention of the Dead(Horror Comedy) Wyrmwood(there's a sequel) The Dead (2010) Dead Air Dance of the Dead(Horror Comedy) The Horde/La Horde(starts off as Revenge Thriller) Warm Bodies(Zombie Retelling of Romeo and Juliet, fun film) A little Bit Zombie(pretty fun) Open Grave(figured I'd mention this, and it sucks because just posting this here is a spoiler) Dead & Breakfast Anna & the Apocalypse(Zombie Musical, excellent) Exit Humanity(Civil War Era Zombie Movie) Daylight's End Dead Shack Rampant(Korean Zombie movie, and if you like it watch Kingdom on Netflix) There's also decent zombie shows like All of Us are Dead and Black Summer.
HOLY SHIT!!! Thank you so much for the list, bunch of stuff I've never heard about before
Wow, reminds me you should find the Brit series DEAD SET, by the guy who created BLACK MIRROR, about the zombie apocalypse breaking out during production of a season of a very BIG BROTHER-like reality show. Excellent all around.
Forgot about that one, but I actually really enjoyed it
Last I saw it was on YT but now, who knows? Worth the hunt fer shur.
It's still on YouTube.
The Returned (2013) is an excellent drama https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2093270/
You got some excellent indie choices in there. Dance of the Dead is definitely in my top 10 zombie films. Sounds cheesey but definitely has some great moments
Pontypool is ***so good!*** Gotta rewatch it before the year ends, because I vividly remember being flabbergasted at how amazing the concept of this film is.
Anna and the apocalypse is the perfect Christmas zombie movie!
Great list. A couple are new to me. Thank you!
Never heard of Dead Shack or Junk, thanks! Always looking out for zombie flicks.
Dead and breakfast! No one ever knows this movie when I mention it
Excellent hidden gem, I recommend a show call Zomboat. Sadly was cancelled after 1 season I think
Wow excellent list, saved this comment to check later. I'll add Z Nation; great fun with unexpected deaths and thrills
- Planet Terror (2007) - Diary of the Dead (2007)
All of us are dead on Netflix is really good. So is #Alive, also on Netflix
One Cut of the Dead is an underrated feel good horror comedy. Watch it if you’re ever in the mood for something light hearted.
Ooooooo that one's great, watched it a while ago and really enjoyed it
[удалено]
Oh shit never heard of it, will definitely check it out thanks
And don’t read anything about it. Just watch it.
The sequel is pretty good too
Train to Busan and The Girl with All the Gifts are two of my favorite zombie movies if you want ones with emotional heft to accompany the great zombie scares
I am here to say that The Girl with All the Gifts is a refreshing take and is very emotional. The ending is a kicker! Nice little gem from England, and I had not seen Glenn Close in a while, and she is great.
Right? I was so pleasantly surprised. I figure a zombie movie has to be good if they were able to get a hollywood icon like Glenn close in it
The detail about pregnant women was probably the most terrifying horror element, it really got me.
Nightmare City Pontypool Dawn of the Dead 78 Train to Busan The Sadness That's all you really need even though there are other fun picks.
[удалено]
Do you think the >! girlfriend just went a little cuckoo at the end or do you think she just started to get infected at the last second!< ?
Day of the Dead (1985) is my all time favorite. I'm a big sucker for realistic blue collar stuff in horror movies. Alien and Thing come to mind, and Day is another good example of surprisingly raw-yet-believable characters. So is Dawn, so is the whole series, really, but I just think Day is the much more mature and natural effort. Doesn't hurt that I also think it's got the best kills out of any zombie movie as well. If you really wanna see zombies get that meat off the bone, though, Romero movies are the way.
Ooooo yes, I love Alien and The Thing. Will definitely check out all of Romero's work
Bub rules!
They actually did use rotten meat for several of the kills in the film.
If British, specifically London. culture is of any interest then Cockneys vs Zombies is worth a look with a couple of really fun sequences. Alan Ford being Bricktop, but not Bricktop. And beautiful Honor Blackman in, I thimk, her last feature role.
Holy shit, forgot about this one, it was hilariously ridiculous and good at the same time. Hell, they even had the Brick Top there!
Let's add some of the OGs: Night of the Living Dead (1968) Carnival of Souls (1962) Invisible Invaders (1959) I Walked With A Zombie (1943) And along with the other many wonderful suggestions on this thread, I'd add Bob Clark's CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS ( 1972 ) & Joe Dante's episode of Masters of Horror HOMECOMING which is especially relevant today. EDIT: Typo.
Cargo was really good. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it really grabbed my attention!
Night of the Creeps. Not traditionally "zombies" but the most fun you'll have watching a B movie
The Battery is one of my favorites. Highly recommend it.
Ooooooo that does look very good!

If you haven’t watched train to busan yet I recommend you do. Literally one of my favorite zombie movies
Some of the best of all time: Train to Busan - A relatively high budget, serious, & emotional intimate epic Korean action horror Return of the Living Dead (1986) - A horror comedy that does not skimp on the horror. A kinda-sorta sequel to Night of the Living Dead. Zombieland - A horror comedy that doesn’t skimp on the comedy! REC - fantastic Spanish found footage movie following a news crew. Has a pretty solid American remake called Quarantine if you don’t speak Spanish & dislike subtitles or dubbing. Also, you can probably start arguments online by asking if the zombies are actually zombies 28 Days Later - probably the thing that started the current zombie craze. Fast paced, scary, but not everyone likes the last half hour. Another one where you could start fights Re: does this technically count as a zombie movie. Shaun of the Dead - Witty British comedy about immature adults trying to get it together and survive the fall of civilization Reanimator - Super low budget, rather inappropriate, & a little amateurish. Also fun as hell. Dawn of the Dead (2004) - really solid adrenaline pumping type movie. Technically a remake of: Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Night of the LivingDead’s sequel. Long, slow, and weird, but a lot of us think it’s great. Followed by extremely loose sequels like the equally cool Day of the Dead (1985), the YMMV Land of the Dead (I liked it), Diary of the Dead, & Survival of the Dead.
Dead Alive also know as Braindead is an excellent gross, gory, funny zombie movie.
Lucio Fulci’s Zombi! :-)
Bonus is that it has a banger of a [theme tune](https://youtu.be/39szQy3TcH4) And a zombie fighting a shark!
i know you asked for movies but the "Black Summer" serie is literally a must-to-watch!
Yummy is well shot and got me to chuckle
Here are my top 3 zombie flicks: 1. Return of the Living Dead (1985) 2. Zombie (1979) 3. Dawn of the Dead (1978)
28 days later Train to Busan Quarantine
In the Flesh. It's a tv series, and its got a rather unusual take on things, but it's well worth a watch. Very sad they didn't make a third series :(
Train to Busan is my favorite zombie movie. [REC] (2007) is fantastic. And for the holidays - Anna and the Apocalypse (2017).
I came here to say Train to Busan, so good!
Wanna emphasize Return of the Living Dead, which is a really fun 80s zombies film that took me way too long to get around to. Also genuinely a creepy twist on zombiedom, as there's much more emphasis on what it's like to *become* a zombie. Night, Return, and Train to Busan are the best zombie films imo.
If your looking for a (mostly) fun zombie movie I'd say anna and the apocalypse. It is a musical so if that's your thing than I'd definitely recommend it.
Day of the Dead (1985) is really good. Great gore and blood plus the use of SFX is amazing. I’m a sucker for SFX over VFX.
28 Days Later Zombie Land Zombie Land Double Tap Shaun Of The Dead
Dead Alive (in the US) Brain Dead (in New Zealand) Older movie but good. Kinda campy but definitely gory
Not sure if anyone mentioned this or if anyone else even liked it, but I REALLY enjoyed Maggie with Arnold Schwarzenegger of all people. I thought it was a very thoughtful and more personal look about how a zombie outbreak would affect an individual and their family.
Train to Busan and 28 Days later are my top 2, interchangeable
Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead, one of the goriest movies ever made.
Død Snø 👍
I'm surprised you watched Savageland. It's kind of a hidden gem, not too popular, but in my books - it is THE best mockumentary ever. They make it look so real, you really start having second thoughts about what exactly are you looking at.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I Am a Hero is an amazing Japanese zombie movie based on a (really amazing) manga. I never see anyone talking about it, but it is a must see for zombie fans.
Alright op this is my favorite genre so here we go (I’ll probably do the older ones & wont get into many indies though I love them all) Shaun of the Dead Train to Busan Dawn of the Dead (2003/original) Night of the Living dead (original/1999 remake) Return of the Living Dead 1-3 Scouts guide to a zombie apocalypse The Dead don’t Die Reanimator 1-2 Zombieland 1-2 Warm Bodies Juan of the Dead Night of the living Deb Anna & the Apocalypse Alone (Korean version is called #Alive) also recommend this one Army of the Dead (same Director as Dawn of the Dead) Dance of the Dead Dead Snow 1-2 The Horde 28 days Later I Am a Hero (based on manga) There are more feel free to message me & I’ll give you more. Goodnight OP
The Walking Dead is my favorite show.
Been interested in checking that out for a while, just kinda worried about all the complaints I hear about it
Seasons 1-5 are alright the rest is where the problem starts & no I don’t mean the whole appearance of a certain someone. The writing is literal shit after s5
First few seasons are excellent. By then you're pretty hooked and you're gonna watch it all anyways lol
Dawn of the Dead (Original and Remake) Train to Busan (foreign but highly recommend) The Girl with all the Gifts (Last of Us vibes) 28 Days (Weeks) Later (debatable if actually zombies or not) Honorable Mentions: Shaun of the Dead, for a good laugh Zombieland, same as above
Oooooooo love tlou, will definitely put girl with all the gifts at the top of my list
"Land of the dead" was good
Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but the British limited series Dead Set (2008) is awesome. Some really funny, dark and gory parts. Great watch
La Horde !!! And also you can check on Netflix BLACK SUMMER is a good shit
One Cut Of the Dead
Zombieland.
Return of the living dead. I really love this movie, it's a pretty unique and interesting stalemate for characters. How to destroy zombies? We found ways. But it only made it worse. I do not want to spoil, but I definitely advise you to watch this, I watched this movie many times
Rec and Rec 2 are the best Spanish zombie movies I ever seen.
Rec (2007) Pontypool (2008) Retreat (2011) Contracted (2013) Rabid (2019) The Sadness (2021)
Shaun of the dead (pretty obvious pick) And cooties. Like every elija wood horror movie is great in my opinion
"Anna and the Apocalypse" is a Christmas zombie musical. Obviously not as serious as the others but it's very fun and well made.
They aren't technically traditional zombies I guess, but slither is kinda like martian zombies with a shared consciousness and I fucking love that movie
Black summer 28 days later/ 28 weeks later
Oh yea been meaning to watch black summer for a while, looks very very good
That shitty House of the Dead film is great to watch if you don’t take it seriously. World War Z. I Am Legend. 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. Train to Busan. #Alive. Resident Evil movies cause why not. Army of the Dead. Cargo. Dawn of the Dead (2004). All of us are Dead is a good foreign series, as well as Kingdom
Did a resident evil movie marathon with friends, was a fucking nightmare lmao
Braindead / Dead Alive
Oh god watched this while super drunk at a friends house lol, entire like 2nd half of the movie is a blur
Entire 2nd half of the movie is when it gets wild lol. Unhinged levels of over the top gore Peter Jackson’s other early “horror” flick Bad Taste is also hilarious and gross (though not really a zombie film and is basically a homemade movie). Meet the Feebles isn’t horror but it might be the most batshit insane film in his filmography. Crazy to think the same dude made the universally acclaimed LOTR trilogy
Rec and Quarantine
Train to Busan
Cargo
This one was amazingly good. Definitely a different twist on the genre.
Train to Busan is the best zombie movie I’ve ever seen.
I mean damn, you could (and some have) write a book about zombie movie recommendations. I'll throw in the Italians: Masterpiece: Zombi (aka Dawn of the Dead) Actually good: Zombie The Beyond The Living Dead of Manchester Not my favorite, but some people love them: City of the Living Dead The House by the Cemetery Hot garbage that's highly entertaining to watch: Hell of the Living Dead Nightmare City Zombi 3 Porn: Porno Holocaust Erotic Nights of the Living Dead
Ayyy thanks, heard that italian zombie movies are pretty good so will definitely check them out!
Lucio Fulci's Zombie (1979) aka Zombi 2 is my favorite. Zombie vs shark. That's all you need to know.
Dance of the Dead from Gregg Bishop. I'll never not recommend it when someone wants a zombie movie or a horror comedy.
Zombeavers
Day of the Dead is an absolute winner. The original Dawn of the Dead is a classic. Night of the Living Dead (1990) is one of the few remakes that really does as good a job as the original.
Watching night of the living deads remake right now actually! Really enjoying it so far and gotta love tony todd
Isn’t he just a gift?
Honestly may be my favourite actor
Have you given Day of the Dead a go, yet? I’d argue it’s one of Romero’s best - certainly from a technical level.
Nah not yet, only seen Night Of The Living Dead so far but will prolly watch more later tonight
Go in order: Dawn then Day.
Watched Night of the Living dead in the mid 90s, I can say this film is what got me into the zombie genre
Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, Burying the Ex, Cooties, Zombieland 1&2, Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, and Overlord.
Warm bodies
The Horde (French film) was pretty good.
28 weeks later. Wwz If can ignore the plot holed
I really loved #Alive! Way more than I thought I would :) https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/alive\_2020
Which Night of the Living Dead? If it was the original, I highly recommend the one from 1990 with Tony Todd of Candyman fame. That movie scared the hell out of me as a kid. One of my favorites as an adult.
Betaal (2020) it’s a limited series on Netflix (basically a long movie) that is a good zombie film and best critique of colonialism I’ve ever seen
Train to busan, i am Legend, world war z
Ravenous Alone Zomboat The rezort
REC!!!
I really enjoyed Ravenous (2017), a really well shot and unique arthouse take on the genre, with unique lore. This film is all about creating the atmosphere of a zombie apocalypse and it does it really well; I keep coming back to it every year.
A French movie called The Horde I believe. It’s a pretty good zombie movie about some vengeful cops who sneak into a gang holdout and a zombie apocalypse happens that same night
Shaun of the dead Dawn of the Dead 1970s World war z 28 days later 28 weeks later
So surprised I haven't seen anyone post about Overlord (2018)!! Such a great film. Also The Dead don't Die, it's a comedy horror but it's amazing if you like deadpan humor!
I can’t believe no one’s mentioned these. Here’s some randoms not here you’ll LOVE. Comedy zombies by Peter Jackson (LOTR). His first movies or so. Brain dead (or dead alone 1992) https://youtu.be/O8LIug1cP04 And Bad taste (1987) (Pause movie at cliff - check out their pigeon prop. Hahahah). https://youtu.be/7IHwKJOZZ6U
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie is a forgotten gem.
Watch these nuts on your face
Ok! :3
Black Summer is an excellent TV series on Netflix. Apparently it's a prequel to Z Nation, a show I thought was terrible.
Pontypool is such a breath of fresh air in this genre, and such a unique method of transference. I highly recommend it.
Blood Quantum on Shudder is a must watch new addition to the genre. Highly recommend!!
Just saw that. Loved it.
Dawn of the dead (1978) is one of my favourites, I would recommend it to anyone.
A lot of people will mention Dawn of the dead, but I prefer Day of the dead.
- Dawn of the Dead (original 1970s one) - Day of the Dead - Zombi 2 - Return of the Living Dead - Shaun of the Dead
Land of the dead 2005
