As a branch of horror films, zombie movies have always been the favorite of many fans of heavy taste movies.

In 1932, the concept of "zombies" was first addressed in the movie White Devil, set in Haiti, where evil wizards used witchcraft to turn workers into zombies, working for him day and night.

However, the birth of zombies here still relies on witchcraft, not viruses or scientific experiments, and the positioning is only a poor character, not a threat to human beings.

If there is a film that really defines the zombie image, it must be 1968, directed by George W. Bush. A. Romero directed "Night of the Living Dead".

The settings of rotten skin, slow pace, nibbling on humans, and being infected by zombie attacks and becoming the same kind basically characterize the entire zombie film. In today's aesthetics, Night of the Living Dead is sleepy, but it doesn't hinder the film's influence in similar films.

Ten years later, George W. Bush A. Romero brought the audience another zombie film, "Dawn of the Living Dead", this time set in a supermarket, and the protagonist and his party had sufficient material reserves while avoiding loss. This is inseparable from the hedonism that prevailed in the United States at that time.

Compared with other horror films, zombie films have swept the world for a while because of their low production costs and close to the actual character settings, and subsequent zombie films have made rapid progress in terms of production and creativity.

Some horror cult movies have been affected by zombie films, and there have been grotesque passages such as being able to move after an arm is cut off, and being able to speak in a different place, and the attainment of bloody heavy taste has reached a new height, which has greatly promoted the development direction of B-grade films.

Among them, the more representative works are "Live Jumping Corpse" and "Ghost Play man".

In the 21st century, affected by the 9/11 incident, the number of zombie films reached its peak, and the sudden appearance of zombies without a reason was in line with the emotional state of powerless panic of the American people at that time.

The confrontation between humans and zombies is in line with the hatred and demonization values of Western developed countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq.

However, during this period, a number of zombie classics were born.

Zach Schneider remade "Dawn of the Living Dead", which entered the public eye, and then there was the possibility of "Spartan 300 Warriors" and "Watchmen" and other works.

Will Smith's "I Am Legend" alone, which supported a play alone, has become a classic textbook for apocalyptic films.

Influenced by "Blair the Witch", the use of pseudo-documentary production of "Death Video" refreshed the audience and created a new shooting method of zombie films.

Having said all that, what is the zombie movie you remember the most? Nonsense less, let the fork for everyone to take stock of the top ten zombie movies, see if there is your heart in the list.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > TOP10: Load Forward (2017</h1>).

Douban score: 7.0 Story: ★★★★★ Blood Index: ★ ☆

Reason for recommendation: Sensational masterpiece, alternative attempt at zombie theme

When the zombie virus broke out, the father who had been infected with the virus knew that his life was imminent, but the only thing he could not rest assured of was his newborn child. So he decided to hang a piece of rotten flesh in front of him and drive himself, who had turned into a zombie, to carry the child on his back towards the human gathering camp.

Saying that it is a zombie film, "Carrying a Weight Forward" is more like a road movie, and the father who becomes a zombie carries his child to the place of survival.

While the audience laments that the father's love has no boundaries, the thinking about the raising of the next generation and whether there is still humanity after humans become zombies add to the depth of the film.

"Carrying a Weight Forward" does not explore the darkness of human nature like previous zombie films, but more of a celebration of the glory of human nature, please prepare tissues when watching this film.

Unfortunately, "Carrying a Weight Forward" was originally based on an 8-minute short film, and the hollowness of the content needed to be filled with a lot of details to supplement, and the 105-minute duration seemed slow-paced.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >TOP9: 28 Days of Shock (2002</h1>).

Douban score: 7.1 Story: ★★★ Gore Index: ★★★

Reason for recommendation: Zombie film benchmark, fast-moving zombies set a precedent, a variety of large-scale shots

A group of gorillas carrying a zombie virus ran out of the lab, and the entire city of London was reduced to a dead city in just 28 days.

The courier hero wakes up from the hospital, and when he is about to be attacked by zombies, he is rescued by survivors, and the three of them come to the last survival base of mankind with only hope, but find that people's hearts are far more terrifying than zombies.

The image of the whole of London falling into a dead city is quite shocking, and the image of a zombie slowly swallowing in the film becomes a walking and flying, running faster than a person.

The setting of changing from waste wood to warriors is more acceptable to the audience and can also increase the sense of substitution in the film.

Unlike American zombie films, British zombie films pay more attention to humanistic atmosphere and artistic texture, and soldiers who are supposed to protect residents have become cowards who save their lives and use others as shields.

Due to the double harvest of box office word-of-mouth, the sequel to "28 Days of Shock" "28 Weeks of Surprise" was released 5 years later, which is also worth watching.

The "28 Days of Shock" series has also become a frequent guest in various zombie film titles.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >TOP8: Please Call Me a Hero (2015</h1>).

Douban score: 7.2 Story: ★★★ ☆ Gore Index: ★★★★

Recommended reason: manga adaptation, brain-opening zombie action cool film

Zombie movies are not the patent of European and American countries, based on the manga adaptation of the Japanese film "Please Call Me a Hero" accurately explore the potential of human beings, so that survivors are no longer vulnerable groups, the action scenes of the human corpse war are full of pleasure.

The story mainly depicts the 35-year-old depressed manga artist Suzuki Hideo Suzuki and his girlfriend tense relationship. Until one day, Suzuki found out that his girlfriend had turned into a zombie, and the whole world had long been surrounded by a sudden zombie virus.

On the way to escape, the hero meets the female high school student Hayabusa Birumi, but does not want Birumi to become the only zombie that will not attack humans, the protagonist and his party come to the surviving human camp, but do not want to encounter the crazy attack of zombies, and the human corpse war is about to start.

"Please Call Me a Hero" satisfies the fantasy of a large number of vulnerable male groups, and when disaster strikes, they are suddenly gifted with the ability to kill all sides of the corpse and save the world.

Unlike other zombie films, Please Call Me Hero has a different approach to the ability of zombies to still maintain their habits and specialties, such as white-collar workers wandering on the way to work, and high jumpers can still jump very high.

All kinds of settings that violate the common sense of physics make the movie's action scenes bloody and brutal, full of refreshing pleasure.

"Please Call Me a Hero" may not be deep enough, but like Japanese manga, it is incredibly big, entertaining, and very flavorful.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >TOP7: Dawn of the Living Dead (2004</h1>).

Douban score: 7.5 Story: ★★★ ☆ Blood Index: ★★★★ ☆

Recommended reason: A masterpiece of action drama with both tension and a thrilling clip of a zombie pregnant woman giving birth to a mutant baby

This is not referring to George W. Bush. The 1968 version directed by A. Romero, but the new Dawn of the Living Dead directed by Zach Schneider in 2004.

Like the old version, "Dawn of the Living Dead" still adopts the setting of the protagonist group trapped in the supermarket, and various fragments of zombie abuse emerge in an endless stream, and the director's unrestrained waste of blood plasma makes the film full of sensory stimulation. The fast-running zombie hordes add to the tension of the film.

Zach Schneider's control of the beauty of the camera was first seen in Dawn of the Living Dead.

In the film, the pregnant woman who is bitten by a zombie gives birth to a baby and is also infected and mutated, which has become a hurdle that many viewers cannot overcome.

Until now, Dawn of the Living Dead has been regarded as the benchmark for zombie films, and he can often be seen on various rankings.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > TOP6: Video of Death (2007</h1>).

Douban score: 7.6 Story: ★★★ ☆ Blood Index: ★★★★ ☆

Recommended reason: Pseudo-documentary techniques bring a strong sense of immersion and horror

In terms of creativity, "Death Video" definitely ranks in the top three.

The story revolves around a female journalist and photographer who follows a firefighter to an old-fashioned apartment on a mission without wanting to be attacked by zombies.

Closed buildings, shaky shots, dark light, characters breathing heavily, close-up gore shots make Death Video's realism skyrocket.

The near-total ending makes the film's sense of despair compelling.

Later, "Death Video 2" continued the style of the previous one, enriching the main plot.

"Death Video" has been filmed in a total of 4 films, fork fork recommends that readers directly watch the first 3 parts, the 4th part is really not worth mentioning.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > TOP5: Zombie World Wars (2013</h1>).

Douban score: 7.6 Story: ★★★★ ☆ Blood Index: ★★★

Reason for recommendation: Zombie movie investment is the most, one of the topic movies of the year

"Zombie World War" as a zombie theme to the big investment of large-scale production of landmark works, so that the zombie film is really on the table.

Brad Pitt's male protagonist wanted to have a pleasant vacation with his wife and children, but he did not want to be in a mess in the city, people scattered and fled, some humans attacked by others turned into bloodthirsty monsters, and the zombie crisis broke out.

The male protagonist is ordered to lead scientists to find the truth about the emergence of the zombie virus.

The ample budget makes "Zombie World Wars" a big scene: the picture of zombies piling up into a mountain of corpses across the wall is extremely impactful, becoming the most prestigious clip in the film.

After being bitten by a zombie, it mutates for ten seconds; the frail, sick and disabled will not be attacked by zombies, and other settings are refreshing, and also make the content more practical and scientifically convincing.

In addition to the zombies themselves, the attitude of various countries to the outbreak of the zombie crisis is quite playful, and the plot of a certain country pulling out its teeth in order to prevent the masses from mutating is still fresh in people's minds.

No matter from which point of view, "Zombie World War" is the most successful case of zombie film commercialization, and I believe that for a long time, this film will still affect the commercial creation of other zombie films.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > TOP4: Shaun the Zombie (2004</h1>).

Douban score: 7.7 Story: ★★★★★ Blood Index: ★★★

Recommended reason: The leader in the comedy processing of zombie movies, the master of black comedy

The only comedy-themed zombie film on this list.

The film mainly depicts the British young Shawn's unsuccessful career, the relationship with his girlfriend is not harmonious, and only a group of fox friends accompany Shaun to die drunk every day.

Just when Sean and his friends are drinking in a bar, but find that the world has long been a zombie outside, the small universe bursting Sean and his friends decide to rescue his family and girlfriend.

The story isn't complicated, but that doesn't in any way diminish Shaun's place between zombie movies and comedy movies.

Unlike other zombie films, Shaun the Zombie is like Stephen Chow's Night of the Souls that makes you laugh while being scared.

Mune's loss becomes air in front of Sean and his friends, the right soundtrack adds to the film's spoof spirit, and the protagonist group flirts with zombies to make many viewers wonder if they have watched a fake zombie movie.

At the end of the film, The footage of Sean playing a video game with his zombie-turned-zombie friend is quite warm.

The successful selection of "Shaun of the Zombies" tells everyone that "all things can be zombies".

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >TOP3: I Am Legend (2007</h1>).

Douban score: 8.1 Story: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gore Index: ★★

Reason for recommendation: A classic of apocalyptic films, the film is intriguing

Unlike other raucous zombie films, I Am Legend tells an apocalyptic story in the form of a solo personality:

Since 2012, the whole of New York has been turned into an empty city by an unknown infection, and infected humans have become aggressive zombies. Due to the presence of antibodies to the virus, military scientist Robert became the only surviving human.

Zombies only move at night, which gives Robert and his pet dogs the opportunity to search for supplies during the day, so Robert develops the habit of searching the city during the day and fending off zombie attacks at night.

The reason why "I Am Legend" ranked 3rd is all due to the atmosphere of the apocalyptic New York City, the empty streets, and the dogs who depend on each other, all of which make the film full of horror atmosphere.

Compared with the zombies in other movies, "I Am Legend" is more restrained, and there are few zombies in the film that storm the streets of human beings, but it makes the movie more realistic.

In the second half of the film, the pet dog is about to be infected because of the attack, and Will Smith's painful stranglehold impulses the audience's psychological defense line.

In order to meet the different needs of the audience, the film made a total of two versions of the ending: the first male protagonist detonated the explosive device and died with the zombie leader, and the second version of the ending, the male protagonist left New York with the surviving mother and son, giving the film a unique charm.

Whether in terms of the meaning of the film or the depth of the film, "I Am Legend" is more profound than other zombie films and is worth recalling.

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > TOP2: Resident Evil (2002</h1>).

Douban score: 8.2 Story: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bloody Index: ★ ★

Reason for recommendation: Adaptation of the game of the same name, the world's most well-known zombie IP blessing

You may not know about zombie movies, but you must have seen Resident Evil.

As one of the few zombie films that can be put on the big screen in China, Resident Evil has created a new story mode of "Super Power vs Mutant Virus".

"Resident Evil" has a total of 6 films, the main plot of the story revolves around the "umbrella" company because of the T virus leak to block the company's personnel, resulting in employees infected by the virus into zombies, Alice and other mercenaries were ordered to investigate: the umbrella, thus uncovering the secret of the unknown.

Putting Resident Evil in Second Place, Fork fork is against the heart. In addition to the first two films are still relatively close to the original game, the next few heroines Alice is almost superman, synonymous with the ceiling of force value, and the sense of urgency and despair that zombie films should have disappeared.

Claire, Leon, Chris, and King Ida in the original game became dragon characters, but the original character Alice became the female number one who could not move.

The laser traps that appear in the first part are quite memorable, but the "uh-huh" passing plot after that is boring.

The magic change to the original plot has turned "Resident Evil" into a complete action movie, and if you look at the game aside, "Resident Evil" is still a commercial movie with decent viewing.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > TOP1: Busan Trip (2016).</h1>

Douban score: 8.6 Story: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ + Blood Index: ★ ★ ★ ★

Recommended reason: The crowning work of Asian zombie films, the classic of oriental humanistic colors

Congratulations to Busan Trip as the champion.

Whether from the East or the West, the evaluation of "Busan Trip" is "God's Work".

Even after 5 years, "Busan Trip" is still known as the benchmark of Asian horror films, and other films will be compared with "Busan Trip", which shows how much influence "Busan Trip" has.

The story mainly revolves around kong liu played by the character is a mercenary fund manager, so the wife separated from him, on the daughter's birthday, Kong Liu took his daughter to embark on the train to Busan, in the news everyone learned that a terrible virus swept throughout South Korea, infected patients became irrational, bloodthirsty.

The passengers in the carriage did not know that an infected person had quietly boarded the train. A catastrophe swept in.

Why does "Busan Trip" look good? In addition to the tense and terrifying zombie chase, the claustrophobic space of the train, people's various attitudes in the face of disaster have become the talk of people.

The male protagonist from the beginning of the hypocrisy, mercenary, through the zombie incident, step by step into a responsible, courageous hero, increased the tension of the film.

Ma Dongxi has attracted the attention of the public with his strong man image of "strict wife management"; the contrast between the elite using others as a shield and the homeless man sacrificing himself to protect everyone adds to the irony of the film.

The director viciously puts the topic of whether you will sacrifice others in exchange for your own survival in the face of disaster in front of every audience.

"Busan Trip" continues the fierce style of Korean movies that have always attacked the ugliness of human nature, making the viewing index of this film skyrocket, becoming a zombie film No.1 deserved.

Unfortunately, in 2020, "Busan Line 2" abandoned Kong Liu, Ma Dongxi and other starring actors, and the original theme of attacking people's hearts became an action movie of "Uh-huh", and the spirit in the first part disappeared and became a veritable work of fighting tails.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > personal personal goods recommendation</h1>

Ten movies obviously do not represent the whole of zombie films, fork fork listed a few personal favorite movies, compared to other mediocre zombie movies, these films have their own characteristics, I hope you will like:

Mysterious Infection (2013)

"Mysterious Infection" is a personal favorite zombie film of Fork Fork, the story tells the story of a young girl who is sexually assaulted by a strange man in a bar, and then becomes a zombie step by step.

Compared with other similar movies that immediately become zombies after biting, "Mysterious Infection" takes 3 days to fully present how the heroine changes from a person to a zombie, at the beginning of the teeth bleeding and falling off, nails falling, then bleeding from the lower body, white eyeballs, 84 minutes of time without cold field, heavy taste scenes.

The heroine in the face of physical changes in the face of psychological changes, increase the sense of substitution of the audience, although it is a small-cost film, but it does not hinder the "Mysterious Infection" in the zombie film of the new attempt.

Crying Sorrow (2021)

In 2021, the Chinese surprise work, our country finally has its own zombie film. In terms of story mode, "Crying Sorrow" is not much different from other zombies, born in the background of the story from abroad to Taiwan Province, China.

The actors who play the zombies perform realistically, and the good atmosphere rendering, "Crying Sorrows" has made a good start for domestic zombie movies.
