3. Zombieland (2009)

Director: Ruben Fleischer | Runtime: 87 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: road movies, silly humor, ensemble casts

Zombieland is a pivotal movie within the larger canon of zombie cinema. Coming out in 2009 at a time when zombie movies and shows were at a saturation point, Zombieland found great success and a lasting legacy thanks to its charismatic cast and lighthearted tone.

Director: Ben Howling, Yolanda Ramke | Runtime: 104 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: Australian movies, heartbreaking stories, movies with messages

5. #Alive (2020)

Director: Cho Il-hyung | Runtime: 98 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: survival horror, South Korean movies, isolation films

#Alive is about a young man trapped inside an apartment during a zombie apocalypse. The film does a fantastic job of depicted the overbearing loneliness and hopelessness of his situation before finally giving him something to live for.

6. Doom (2005)

Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak | Runtime: 104 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: science fiction, action, video game movies

As far as movies based on video games go, Doom isn’t bad. If you want to see Karl Urban and Dwayne Johnson shoot monsters, then Doom is absolutely for you. There’s also a memorably campy first-person action scene meant to emulate the video games the movie was inspired by, so, it has that going for it as well.

7. Ravenous (2017)

Director: Robin Aubert | Runtime: 103 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: Canadian horror, unique zombies, social commentary

Ravenous uses the well-tread tropes of the zombie-apocalypse genre as a starting point, then it adds in unique twists to the format to give the movie a life of its own. The film is about a group of people in rural Quebec doing their best to survive as zombies with odd behaviors close in on them.

8. Valley of the Dead (2020)

Director: Alberto de Toro, Javier Ruiz Caldera | Runtime: 102 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: Spanish films, war movies

Nazi zombies are kind of a cliche, but Valley of the Dead makes them entertaining. The story involves a group of wartime enemies who must work together to survive a Nazi plot to raise the dead.

9. Day of the Dead: Bloodline (2017)

Director: Hèctor Hernández Vicens | Runtime: 90 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: very loose remakes, schlock

Day of the Dead: Bloodline succeeds best in its gore and with the look of its zombies. The rest of the movie isn’t great, but it can be entertaining for those us who enjoy not-great movies.

10. Army of the Dead (2021)

Director: Zack Snyder | Runtime: 148 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: heist films, team building, Zack Snyder

Army of the Dead delivers exactly what it promises with over-the-top action, rag-tag group dynamics, and an impossible heist made possible by outlandish twists and turns. The movie might be polarizing in certain parts of the internet, but it’s great fun if you give it chance.

Director: Kim Seong-hun | Runtime: 93 minutes

For viewers who enjoy: revenge movies, period films, dark stories

Kingdom: Ashin of the North tells the origin story of Ashin, a mysterious character who appears at the end of the second season of the Netflix series Kingdom.
