Based on the beloved anthology novel by Max Brooks, World War Zis the best example of “fast moving” zombies since the Danny Boyle classic 28 Days Later. World War Z manages to create tension without all that much gore, but for a PG-13 film, it can get pretty graphic. Rather than focus on the zombies themselves, the film shows the gradual collapse of society. World governments are helpless to respond to the pandemic paranoia; it's all a little frighteningly familiar. Despite the chaotic produc...

If there is one thing Cho Il-hyung gets right with this picture, it’s the sheer realness he brings to a ‘not-so-real’ situation. There is no precision ass-whooping or other forms of badassery, just humans fumbling their way through a zombie-infested apartment building, holding on for their dear lives. Stuck indoors in the middle of a zombie outbreak, Jon-woo (Yoo Ah-in) reacts to his predicament with fear, uncertainty, and an expected sense of dread. On the verge of ending it all, he discover...

One of the newest movies on this list, Zack Snyder’s 2021 release brings together various genre elements to get the ball rolling; at the forefront, zombies and heists. The latter should not come as a surprise since the movie is set in the land of the best heists, Las Vegas. With most of the city’s population infected, the undead are placed under quarantine with a handful of survivors boxed in. Years after living in the middle of a zombie-infested wasteland becomes the new normal, Scott Ward (...

If one thing is evident, it's that Cargo challenges the status quo when it comes to what we've come to expect from zombie pictures. With a 48-hour window for humans to go rabid after infection, this 1 hour, 45-minute movie follows a father's plight to deliver his infant daughter to safety before the virus completely takes him over. Though it doesn't stray too far from the norm (there's still the usual “survival of the fittest” vibe) it does lend a more sympathetic eye to the undead and refram...

Let’s start off by saying that this is not your run-of-the-mill zombie movie — it’s light, quirky, yet action-packed in the right measure. While volunteering on his nephew’s field trip, Dave (Alexander England) ends up having to fight for his life alongside a kindergarten teacher (Lupita Nyong'o) and an annoying children's TV personality (Josh Gad). Unfortunately, fate has it that zombies escape from a testing facility nearby, making a beeline for the farm where the kids are indulging in some...

Zombie movie fiends assemble! Night of the Living Dead is not just any zombie movie, it's considered the mother of all modern zombie movies, directed by the so-called Godfather of Zombies, George A. Romero. This 1968 independent production is packed with tons of elements that contemporary movies have mimicked over the years. Here's the gist, a group of strangers must band together to survive a full-on zombie attack, but the question is, will their differences let them? From the abandoned hous...

Of all the recent zombie movies to come out this century, there is no more instant of a classic than the imaginativeTrain to Busan. Just as the title suggests, the film is set almost entirely on a speeding train as the world descends into the clutches of a zombie apocalypse. Centered on an incredible cast who all bring their distinct characters to life, it is one of the most compelling and creative works of genre cinema in recent memory. It makes the most of its premise, creating both claustr...

Warm Bodies is a hybrid of zombie movies and rom-coms (a zom-rom-com, if you will). Told from the perspective of R (Nicholas Hoult), the movie follows this zombie’s quest to regain his humanity. While out and about on the hunt for brains, R meets Julie (Teresa Palmer) and goes against his instincts to save her life. The more time they spend together, the more they both realize that maybe the zombies aren’t beyond saving. However, not everyone is eager for zombies and people to coexist once ag...

It took a while for audiences to catch up with this one, but like fine wine, Dead & Buried only gets better with age. Set in a quaint, coastal town confronted with one grisly murder after the other, Sherriff Dan Gillis (James Farentino) discovers that the town coroner (Jack Albertson) has been pulling the strings all along. As the body count rises, the coroner adds more ammo to his zombie arsenal. The question here is, can one man take down a whole town of zombies?Watch on Peacock

- Dawn Of The Dead (1978) If Night Of The Living Dead was the birth of the contemporary zombie flick, Dawn Of The Dead was its coming-of-age – bigger, bolder, more confident, and, this time, in colour.
- Day Of The Dead (1985) The final part of Romero's landmark original Dead trilogy is a more meditative affair than the previous instalments – but it's a powerful piece, with an angry resonance that continues to reverberate.
- 28 Days Later (2002) Purists will tell you it's not a zombie movie. If they're technically right, they're also totally wrong – Danny Boyle's film about a deadly rage infection reinvented and redefined what a zombie film could be, taking the idea of running infected from Return Of The Living Dead and, er, running with it.
- Shaun Of The Dead (2004) For his feature debut proper, Edgar Wright drew from Romero and Richard Curtis for the definitive rom-zom-com. Simon Pegg is the titular Shaun, a slacker entering his 30s who's forced to grow up, commit to his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield), sort things out with his step-dad, and relinquish his best friend Ed (Nick Frost) when a zombie apocalypse unfolds in London.
