Based on the novel of the same name by Mike Carey, the film finds new heights with an eerie yet all-encompassing score by Cristobal Tapia de Veer that takes us deeper into its world. When things go wrong, she tries to escape with her kind teacher Helen ( Gemma Arterton) and a group of remaining survivors into what is left of the world. The reason for all this is that Melanie is one of many children who have been infected with a zombie virus where they are still able to cling to some sense of consciousness while hungering for human flesh. Held in an underground facility, she is taught while being restrained to a chair. It all centers on young Melanie, played with an incredible sense of maturity by first-time actor Sennia Nanua in her feature debut. One of the more inventive and reflective works of zombie horror in recent memory, The Girl With All the Giftssets a very high bar of what is possible in the well-tread genre. Run Time: 1 hr 51 min | Director: Colm McCarthyĬast: Sennia Nanua, Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close It is truly one of the most fantastic zombie flicks you will ever get to see. Even if you’ve seen it before, it only gets better each time you rewatch it, as all the wondrous details emerge on each new viewing. There is nothing that has been able to hold a candle to all it manages to achieve, making it one of the all-time greats of the genre. As we see the film’s heroes and villains emerge in the catastrophe, the film’s sense of humanity shines through the depravity of the world in which they're now trapped. It makes the most of its premise, creating both claustrophobia in the confines of the train itself and an expansive sense of scale with each new destination at which it arrives. Centered on an incredible cast who all bring their distinct characters to life, it is one of the most compelling and creative works of genre cinema in recent memory. Just as the title suggests, the film is set almost entirely on a speeding train as the world descends into the clutches of a zombie apocalypse. Of all the recent zombie movies to come out this century, there is no more instant of a classic than the imaginative Train to Busan. Run Time: 1 hr 58 min | Director: Sang-ho YeonĬast: Gong Yoo, Ma Dong-seok, Choi Woo-sik However, it’s just the fast-paced, action, and emotion-packed picture you’d want to soak in on movie night, with all of Snyder’s signature cinematic style. From the intense team-assembling montage to the journey into the heart of the zombie territory, the plot does play right into a few zombie-apocalypse tropes. Years after living in the middle of a zombie-infested wasteland becomes the new normal, Scott Ward ( Dave Bautista) is approached with an offer he can't refuse (even in the middle of a zombie apocalypse): to steal a fortune locked away in the apocalyptic wasteland before it gets nuclear-bombed out of existence. With most of the city’s population infected, the undead are placed under quarantine with a handful of survivors boxed in. The latter should not come as a surprise since the movie is set in the land of the best heists, Las Vegas. One of the newest movies on this list, Zack Snyder’s 2021 release brings together various genre elements to get the ball rolling at the forefront, zombies and heists. Run Time: 2 hr 28 min | Director: Zack SnyderĬast: Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana de la Reguera, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder
