Zombie movies have been an important part of the horror field for a very long time, but the sub-genre has expanded to include picks that are comedic, action-heavy, and even romantic.

But if you’re wondering just why people find zombie movies so fascinating, Stanford literary scholar Angela Becerra Vidergar once explained that, “We use fictional narratives not only to emotionally cope with the possibility of impending doom, but even more importantly perhaps to work through the ethical and philosophical frameworks that were in many ways left shattered in the wake of WWII [when the genre became popular]…In a way, survivalism has become a dominant mode of self-reference for a greater number of people. You see that in the obsession in apocalypse and disaster in the fictional stories we tell.”

And while the current coronavirus pandemic has led many people to reach for happier, lighter movies to watch, there’s also a good reason why you’re reaching for your favorite post-apocalyptic flick: “There is this glimmer of hope that I am really interested in,” Vidergar explains. “Even if as a society we have lost a lot of our belief in a positive future and instead have more of an idea of a disaster to come, we still think that we are survivors, we still want to believe that we would survive.”

So if you’re looking for a new zombie flick to watch, we have some picks for you–here are the 15 best zombie movies of all time.

1

Train to Busan

This South Korean film takes place on a train to Busan as a zombie apocalypse suddenly breaks out both in the country on the train, and the passengers have to figure out how to stay alive while also trying to find a safe station to stop the train. The movie’s sequel, Peninsula, will be released this year.

Zombieland

Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin star in this comedic zombie tale about a group of survivors that try to find a sanctuary free from the zombies ravaging the nation.

Night of the Living Dead

George A. Romero’s 1968 film revitalized both the horror and zombie genre and in 1999, the legendary film was added by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry. However, there was a lot of controversy when Night of the Living Dead first premiered in theaters, primarily due to its realistic gore and scary plot line. The movie follows seven people who are trapped in a farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania while facing an attack from a group of undead corpses.

6

Dawn of the Dead

The classic 1978 film is the second entry in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead series, and it follows a group of survivors as they barricade themselves inside a suburban shopping mall amidst a zombie outbreak. Unfortunately, the 70’s version isn’t available for streaming online but you can also check out the 2004 remake.

It was later followed by a sequel titled 28 Weeks Later.

The Dead Don’t Die

Hold on, we need this movie’s extremely stacked cast first: Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Rosie Perez, Iggy Pop, Sara Driver, RZA, Selena Gomez, Austin Butler, Tom Waits, and Carol Kane. Whew. The Dead Don’t Die follows a small town’s police force as they combat a sudden zombie invasion.

Return of the Living Dead

The 1985 film follows a group of people in Louisville, Kentucky, (including some rowdy teenagers) as they deal with the accidental release of zombies in their town. Return of the Living Dead is notable because the zombies in the film eat brains instead of flesh, and its the first known film to show zombies that can run and speak. The movie also led to four sequels, with the most recent one being released in 2005.
