Curated collection

Curated Zombie Movies

Zombie movies follow survivors overrun by the reanimated or infected dead, creatures driven by hunger that spread their condition with every bite. The zombie was never really about the zombie. Curated zombie horror has always used the undead as a vehicle for something else, social collapse, pandemic, humanity under pressure. Romero established that in 1968. Every film on this list is still working within that framework, whether it knows it or not.
