Jeremy Urquhart is a writer at Collider who focuses on the Godzilla series, the films of Martin Scorsese, and anything in the action genre.
Zombies just won’t leave audiences alone, but that seems appropriate considering what kind of monster they are. These things just keep rising from the dead, sometimes moving slowly and sometimes being surprisingly fast, all the while seeming interested in killing and/or consuming the living. Sometimes, zombies are brought to life by vague supernatural means, while at other times, a zombie plague is caused by a viral outbreak.
It’s tonally a little odd, sometimes emphasizing comedy and sometimes drama, particularly when indulging in the popular zombie-adjacent trope of “humans being the real monsters.” Z Nation is also like a good many zombie stories in the sense that it isn't afraid to bump off significant characters without much warning. A zombie apocalypse would be an understandably hazardous thing to live through, after all.
That puts a bit of a Hannibal-esque spin on things, with a main character who’s able to tap into an unusual source of information to assist in the solving of various crimes. That might all sound a bit silly, but iZombie confidently asserts itself in various genres and mostly makes it work, especially for anyone who likes their zombie shows a bit more humorous.
5 'Kingdom' Creator: Kim Eun-hee ✕ Remove Ads Thanks to movies like 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, and the remake of Dawn of the Dead, it’s pretty plain to see that zombies were all the rage in various Western horror movies throughout the 2000s. The 2010s, though, at least as far as cinema goes, felt like a particularly strong time for more international zombie movies, including some from South Korea that found worldwide popularity.
3 'The Walking Dead' Developer: Frank Darabont Love it or hate it, or love parts of it while hating other parts, it can’t be denied that The Walking Dead is a culturally significant piece of zombie television; maybe the most significant to date. It was initially developed by Frank Darabont, who wasn’t the showrunner for long, setting something of a precedent when it came to The Walking Dead churning through different lead writers across its mammoth 11-season run.
