characters running from a train in Train to Busan (2016)
Though the word zombie had existed prior to 1968, it was the low-budget cult classic horror movie Night of the Living Dead, released that year, that largely defined the zombie genre as it’s now understood. There’s been something of a push away from zombies being undead, sure, as it’s more common now for a virus to be the explicit cause of a zombie outbreak. Also, zombies have generally gotten faster as the years have gone on, but that’s kind of beside the point.
9 'Zombi 2' Director: Lucio Fulci This 1979 Italian zombie film is known by a few different titles, including Zombie Flesh Eaters, Island of the Living Dead, and sometimes just Zombie, but Zombi 2feels like the most amusing and endearing.
7 '' Directors: Jaume Balagueró, Paco Plaza In the wake of 1999’s The Blair Witch Project, found-footage horror became something of an unstoppable horror sub-genre, with the Spanish film taking this format and adding zombies to it… kind of. Like a good many zombie films of the 2000s, the zombies here are victims of some kind of infectious disease and, unfortunately for the non-infected, these foes are also pretty speedy and aggressive.
5 'The Beyond' Director: Lucio Fulci While the aforementioned Lucio Fulci film Zombi 2 is probably more of a zombie movie than The Beyond, it’s The Beyond that’s the better film overall. Maybe that’s a hot take, but it just has more to offer beyond a splattery smattering of blood and guts… but for what it’s worth, The Beyond totally has that stuff too, for anyone who likes their horror movies particularly gory.
