To celebrate the release of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, here is a rundown of the top five zombie flicks.
5. Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Edgar Wright’s affectionate horror-comedy balances genuine scares with sharp British humour and character-driven storytelling. The film works simultaneously as a loving zombie tribute and a perfectly constructed romantic comedy.
4. Train to Busan (2016)
This South Korean hit injected emotional depth into the zombie genre, pairing relentless action with heartfelt character drama. Its high-speed setting and social themes earned international acclaim and expanded the genre’s global reach.
3. 28 Days Later (2002)
Danny Boyle’s film revitalised the genre with fast-moving infected and a nerve-shredding sense of realism. Its desolate vision of London and focus on human survival reshaped zombie storytelling for the 21st century.
2. Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Set inside a shopping mall, this sequel expanded Romero’s mythology while delivering sharp satire about consumerism. Its mix of gore, tension, and dark humour made it one of the most influential horror films ever made.
1. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
George A. Romero’s low-budget classic redefined horror cinema and effectively created the modern zombie genre. Its bleak tone and social commentary helped turn a monster movie into a lasting cultural statement.
