Zombies remain one of the most eternal movie monsters, whether their origin is viral in nature or voodoo-related. The reanimated corpses driven by an insatiable need to consume flesh provide fertile ground for horror, also doubling as a reflection of our current sociopolitical fears, making their evolution in film one of the most interesting.<\/p>\n

Dawn of the Dead \u2013 Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dawn<\/p>\n

Director Zack Snyder and writer James Gunn dial up the zombie intensity and then some in this update on George A. Romero\u2019s classic 1978 zombie sequel. The zombie apocalypse begins with a subtle bite on a victim in a hospital and escalates with the world in flames the next morning. It\u2019s fast and unrelenting. Dawn of the Dead ushered in a quicker, meaner brand of zombie. It\u2019s not just the scarier take on the zombie that sets this remake apart, but a stellar ensemble cast led by Sarah Polley as the competent, level-headed nurse Ana. Dawn of the Dead leaves Netflix on August 1, so channel your inner fast-moving zombie and run to watch this one. While the original 1978 classic isn\u2019t on streaming, it is available to rent on Digital.<\/p>\n

Dead & Buried \u2013 Fandango at Home, Fawesome, Midnight Pulp, NightFlight+, Pluto TV, Screambox, Tubi<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dead<\/p>\n

Gary Sherman\u2019s underrated \u201880s horror film is unconventional for both its unique undead rules and for its mysterious atmosphere. Set in a small coastal town, Sheriff Gillis must investigate a series of grisly murders of visitors, only to discover that the town\u2019s dead are reanimating. The walking undead in this town aren\u2019t your cookie-cutter zombies, but to explain further would be stepping into massive spoiler territory. The narrative also pays homage to the original zombies, in which the dead were reanimated by way of voodoo (don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s not a spoiler). Though this was a story that favored chills and atmosphere over gore, Stan Winston\u2019s makeup effects made the few gore scenes really stick their landing.<\/p>\n

The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue \u2013 AMC+, Shudder, Tubi<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"living<\/p>\n

Jorge Grau\u2019s memorable zombie film centers around George (Ray Lovelock) and Edna (Christina Galbo), a couple of city hippies who meet when Edna backs into George\u2019s motorcycle at a petrol station. She\u2019s on her way to visit her troubled sister while he\u2019s on his way to see friends. It so happens that the area is undergoing a new experimental pest control method in the form of ultrasonic radiation, and it intersects with our protagonists when it wakes the dead and causes a wave of grisly murders. The story plays out like a murder mystery of sorts with a target set on the counter-culture movement, building toward a gore-filled finale courtesy of special makeup effects artist\u00a0<\/strong>Gianetto De Rossi (The Beyond,\u00a0Zombie,\u00a0High Tension).<\/p>\n

Sugar Hill \u2013 Pluto TV, Prime Video, Tubi<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sugar<\/p>\n

Shot and set in Houston, the film follows Diana \u201cSugar\u201d Hill (Marki Bey) as she summons Baron Samedi (Don Pedro Colley) to unleash zombie revenge for the murder of her lover. That voodoo plays a central role in the film\u2019s story means these zombies aesthetically borrow from the early \u201830s and \u201840s style of the undead. Meaning there\u2019s no viral contagion, and these zombies aren\u2019t hindered by rigor mortis or decay. They\u2019re Samedi\u2019s slaves from beyond the grave. Directed by prolific producer\u00a0Paul Maslansky\u00a0(Raw Meat,\u00a0Race with the Devil) in his only director\u2019s credit,\u00a0Sugar Hill introduces a stylish queen of zombie-enforced vengeance.<\/p>\n

Zombie \u2013 AMC+, Fawesome, Screambox, Shudder<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Zombie<\/p>\n

While Lucio Fulci\u2019s \u201cGates of Hell\u201d trilogy features no shortage of slow shambling zombies worthy of inclusion on this list, it\u2019s hard to beat his gruesome take on the subgenre, with the film initially written as a sequel to George A. Romero\u2019s Dawn of the Dead. Also known as Zombi 2 and Zombie Flesh Eaters, the film centers around a Caribbean island inundated by flesh eaters. It\u2019s filled with unforgettable imagery from the famous shark versus zombie underwater sequence to one gnarly burst of ocular trauma. It\u2019s a zombie movie whose gory reputation precedes it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zombies remain one of the most eternal movie monsters, whether their origin is viral in nature or voodoo-related.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":100668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[65589,171,1322,65590,53,46621,65591,65592,9825,67,132,68,65593],"class_list":{"0":"post-100667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-dawn-of-the-dead","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-featured","11":"tag-lucio-fulci","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-stay-home-watch-horror","14":"tag-sugar-hill","15":"tag-the-living-dead-at-manchester-morgue","16":"tag-topnews","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-zombie"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114933608357530733","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
