Dawn of the Dead | 2004 | 87 | 1 | - Zack Snyder's recreation of Romero's classic is a thing of beauty. It is the original only more vivid. The zombies are scarier, the characters are cookier, and the battle plan for survival doesn't deviate into the looney. Even the intermittent comedy hits better. |
Zombieland | 2009 | 87 | 1 | - Even if you could dream up a dark, post-apocalyptic, zombie COMEDY, I guarantee you it wouldn't be as good as Zombieland. Because nothing is. |
The Crazies | 2010 | 86 | 3 | - The Crazies had me. It had me at hello. It had me right up until it's ending leaves you rolling your eyes in frustration. |
World War Z | 2013 | 86 | 3 | - 'Z's' real triumph is creating a truly global, realistic view of a virtually apocalyptic event. The only irony is that the novel the film is based on did it even better. |
Shaun of the Dead | 2004 | 85 | 5 | - It's not just a great zombie-laden comedy. This is one of the smartest, funniest satires to come out since the turn of the century. |
Dawn of the Dead | 1978 | 82 | 6 | - This was the genre's first look at not only trying to SURVIVE a zombie apocalypse, but LIVE in one. This is Romero's 'David'. |
Train to Busan | 2016 | 80 | 7 | - The end product is a solid, if not occasionally overacted, addition to the zombie genre. |
Planet Terror | 2007 | 70 | 8 | - It's the sort of cult action horror thriller with go-for-broke ridiculousness that will leave hipster everywhere pitching tents in their pants. |
Night of the Living Dead | 1968 | 61 | 9 | - The original zombie flick. It's pretty obvious how this film unearthed (pun intended) our love for the undead. |
28 Days Later | 2002 | 59 | 10 | - It's ironic that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's infected humans are adrenaline-packed, raging monsters, because they are cast amidst a rather slow-moving world, and in a movie that never really takes off. |
28 Weeks Later | 2007 | 57 | 11 | - Not the best post-apocalypse movie ever, but it will entertain you through the run time. |
Zombeavers | 2014 | 39 | 12 | - Bad....like a glorious train wreck. |
