The 2004 version is my absolute favorite and never gets old, even though I don't like fast zombies much. Funny and cool.
Night of the Living, Dawn, and Day of the Dead
I'll just give the orig-trig the benefit of the doubt and say they're worth a watch but no longer the best.
Pretty cool look at taking the zombie thing world wide.
Super wacky crazy gory zombie fun.
The humor has dimmed for me, but overall still great.
A world where zombies are basically slaves. A fun change-up on the genre.
The absence of guns feels strange, but this heart-wrenching flick from Korea is brutal and tense. Look for an English remake to come.
An embarrassing plot point towards the end almost spoils this pretty interesting take on the genre, but it's still worth watching.
Maybe the heart-wrenchiest of all zombie movies with top notch production and small scale.
Some straight-up found-footage horror. Good.
Might be a stretch to call it "zombie," but it's close enough and fun.
Didn't like it at first but it grew on me when I just took it for what it is. The second one was equally good, sharing the strengths and weaknesses.
Likable and slick production, but not my fav take.
Not quite "zombie" and not quite enjoyable to me. I thought the "Weeks" sequel was better.
A somber and tense zombie outing in rural Africa.
The 1990 remake is a worthy view.
Zombie comedy in Cuba.
Part raunchy comedy, part zombie movie. Not bad.
Style over story for sure, but a fun Mad Max-ish romp in Australia.
Wacky Japanese shopping mall invasion.
Zombies go to prom.
Pretty funny low budgeter.
Dumb guilty pleasure.
Weird old Italian goodness.
Intense old Italian goodness.
Woulda been a lot better a half hour shorter.
Zombies in Greece.
Props for a cool idea, but it isn't pulled off super well.
The great cast keeps this wacky one alive in spite of the abrupt ending.
Pontypool
An intense one with a weird mode of zombie transmission
Here AloneYou could nitpick some slow pacing but overall this low-budgeter was enjoyable and had tension.
Little MonstersHeartwarming and funnier-than-not little adventure where some adults have to keep kindergartners alive during a zombie attack in Australia.
Also, I don't care for The Walking Dead, but Dead Set and Black Summer were mostly good.
