Top 5 Best Zombie Movies

I love Zombie movies and I thought I'd put together a short list of the best!










5. Zombie
-Italian director, Lucio Fulci originally made this film as a spiritual successor to George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead." Many say that "Night of the Living Dead" is better, but I disagree. This opinion, however, is based mostly off the fact that there is a scene where a zombie fights an actual Tiger Shark under water, which is actually, pretty amazing when you think about it.









4. 28 Days Later
-Being more of a revival of zombie movies rather than a continuation, this movie came out of no where to blow everyone away with it's haunting film style and creepy music. To be perfectly honest, the monsters in this movie aren't exactly "zombies" since they never die, but rather they are a sort of sub-category that has become popular ever since called "The Infected." This explains how the "zombies" don't shuffle around but sprint, yelling and screaming like animals.












3. Evil Dead 2
-"Evil Dead 2" is pretty much the same movie as "Evil Dead" only much better and much crazier. This movie is just packed with bizarre moments, from the possessed dear head on the wall to the main character's chainsaw hand. It's become famous for being the movie that not only made B movie king Bruce Campbell famous, but it's the movie that truly made director Sam Rami career possible.











2. Dawn of the Dead
-Ten years after he created "Night of the Living Dead," George A. Romero made this genius follow up. An interesting fact about this movie is that it was a collaboration between both Romero and Italian film maker, Dario Argento (famous for directing "Susperia" and other psychological horror films). Romero directed and wrote, while Argento lent the movie Goblin, a band that he hired to make most of his film's music. Another interesting thing about "Dawn of the Dead" is how often you see it referenced in pop culture. For instance, the end song of the show Robot Chicken is a chicken clucking one of "Dawn of the Dead's" songs and the band Gorillaz has used tons of clips from the movie in their work, even using a piece of the film's music to open up their album Demon Days.









1. Dead Alive
-If you think you know director Peter Jackson simply because you've seen "Lord of the Rings" you've seen nothing. Before he became known for creating incredibly long epics, he was known for making some of the most raunchy and over the top gory movies of all time. Saying that "Dead Alive" is kind of gory is like saying the ocean is kind of wet. This movie is drenched in blood and the action scenes are truly insane. People get attacked by zombie intestines even! But what really makes this movie great is how incredibly original it is. There is nothing else like it and I highly recommend seeing it, just for the crazy trip.
