Zombie movies and tv shows fall into a wide range of genres — science-fiction, thriller, action, romance, horror, and even comedy. The flexibility the subgenre is incredible. Writers and actors alike are able to grow — showcasing their talent and creativity.
With the recent hype for zombie-themed projects, there’s an endless amount of projects a click away. Within Netflix, there’s a good number of projects available — no matter what taste you’re craving. Whether it’s action-packed, comedy, or a good scare, this is one streaming service that has zombie fans covered.
All Of Us Are Dead
Korean horror thriller, All of Us Are Dead, tells the story of how Hyosan high school becomes ground zero when a mysterious zombie virus outbreak occurs. As the surviving students are trapped within the school, they must fight their way out, or give in and become one of the infected.
Following the huge success of Squid Game, South Korea has been poised as the golden goose, providing Netflix with one hit series after the other. All of Us Are Dead feels so human and real, with many underlying themes, and reflections of the anxieties that many Gen Zs have. Surviving high school is already hard enough, not to mention, with the added element of having to survive a zombie apocalypse. The series is compelling, imaginative, and thought-provoking — overcoming clichés, and establishing characters with distinct personalities.
Army of the Dead
Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a US military convoy carrying a zombie in cargo escapes and infects most of the city’s population. The government blockades and quarantines the city — no one in or out. A group of mercenaries takes the ultimate gamble, and decide to venture into the zombie-infested quarantine zone, hoping to pull off the greatest heist of all time and retrieve $200 million.
