Mine is Zombieland. I love the different types of zombies, the rules, and the mix of characters.
Yours?

The Walking Dead ofc

CanOfPop · 13/03/2023 01:08

I loved the first series and then it slowly got worse. Gave up on after third series.

World War Z - beginning filmed in Glasgow's George Square. Also the scene where they climb to the top of the safety wall in Israel.

I used to think zombies were slow until I watched Dead Set.

Shaun of the Dead is always re-watchable. And which makes me wonder what I would do if it happened where I live now.

Anna of the Apocalypse for irrepressible teens and catchy songs.

Shaun of the dead.

Z Nation. At least until the end of Season 3, or part way through season 4 at the outside. Love Walking Dead until a couple of particularly gruesome deaths.

I second z nation also black summer which is part of the z nation universe.

Shaun of the dead

CharlotteDoyle · 13/03/2023 03:03

My faves are probably 28 Days Later (& sequel), World War Z and I am Legend

Uurrjb · 13/03/2023 03:08

Army of the dead is quite good
will watch world war z anytime

28 days/weeks later

MrBusiness · 13/03/2023 03:23

I really liked dead set and also Shaun of the dead

Goawaypeppa · 13/03/2023 07:55

28 days later, while excellent, is not a zombie film.

They aren’t the undead. They are alive and infected with a virus.

World War Z is an extremely re watchable film. That and Shaun of the Dead are my comfort films because I am odd.

Z nation was excellent until it all went a bit nuts after a few (maybe 5? seasons). I thought I would love the walking dead, but I have a massive problem with those American shows which just seen to drag on and on and on and nothing happens. I gave up after 3 episodes.

I will watch pretty much anything about zombies or anything about the end of the world. I don’t like any other genre of film, happy little soul that I am.

REC and REC 2
Train To Busan
Shaun of the dead
I really enjoyed Black Summer on Netflix although Z nation not so much
28 days later - yes not technically zombies but same ballpark
Alive

Hated the walking dead after season 2

CanOfPop · 13/03/2023 19:40

Never heard of Anna of the Apocalypse, I will look it up.
I like Z Nation, but it does end up a bit samey after a while.

MrsWidgerysLodger · 13/03/2023 20:07

Shaun of the Dead, iZombie and Santa Clarita diet

Ginger1982 · 13/03/2023 20:39

World War Z. I know people say it's not like the book (which I've never read) but for a couple of hours, it's a good watch.

I loved Santa Clarita diet! I was gutted when it ended so suddenly.

Dancingonthemoonlight · 13/03/2023 21:18

Genuinely shocked nobody has said resident evil, hands down the best game franchise for zombies and the first few movies are great.

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 13/03/2023 21:32

Omg yes Resident Evil. Bloody love them. The third one is the best.

Amandasummers · 13/03/2023 21:34

I'm a big lover of TWD and fear TWD. Loved all of us are dead on Netflix too!

(Santa clarita diet is a great shout! Loved it, absolutely gutted it was cancelled)
