Thanks to 28DaysLater and The Last of Us, zombies have remained one of the most popular aspects of horror media. Here the 5 best zombie movies of all time.
Zombies have remained one of the most popular aspects of horror media. Since they broke out into mainstream cinema during the 1960s, these undead walkers grew more and more prevalent until they became part of their very own genre. HBO Max’s The Last of Us, a series based on the hit video game, is just the latest iteration in a long line of zombie-centric entertainment.
Night of the Living Dead has since garnered much critical acclaim, and many scholars have analyzed and interpreted it as a veiled critique of American society and the horrors of the Vietnam War. And thanks to Ben’s shocking death at the end of the film, Night of the Living Dead has been considered a significant piece that comments on the racial tensions that can still be felt in America today.
3. Shaun of the Dead Long before he wowed audiences with Baby Driver and Last Night in Soho, director Edgar Wright delivered a brilliant homage to the zombie genre with this horror-comedy classic. In the middle of a zombie apocalypse, an aimless salesman teams up with his flatmate to gather his loved ones and get them all to safety, and hilarious hijinks ensue.
Unlike the first film in the franchise, Evil Dead 2 fully embraces the wackiness of its premise and its low-budget production to create a slapstick splatter film that far surpassed the original. And with Ash donning a chainsaw hand and his trusty “boomstick,” Bruce Campbell transformed into a B-movie action movie hero whose impact still lingers in pop culture today.
