9 Underrated Zombie Movies To Watch
Fancy watching a zombie film that is underrated? Well, underrated to me, anyway, so here are 9 to maybe consider watching.
Who doesn’t love a zombie movie? ANYONE??
The Night Eats the World
A weird little movie in the streets of an empty Paris, and it kind of unravels from there - not much “big zombie action” actually, but more pacing around and trying not to freak out.
The Battery
Much like The Night Eats the World, The Battery is more of a character-driven movie that focuses on the relationship struggles between two former baseball players, than on action packed zombie fights, and has been described as an “anti-zombie zombie movie”.
Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead
Chaos and DIY brilliance with some pure punk energy, this one’s a bit nuts, with lots of yelling, weird homemade armor, trucks, and zombies exploding, the whole thing’s kinda bonkers and a ton of fun.
Ravenous (Les Affamés)
Super quiet, and a bit slow, yet beautiful, with zombies stacking chairs into weird piles that don’t make sense but somehow creep you out more than if they attacked.
It Stains the Sands Red
It Stains the Sands Red is kind of a weird film with a woman stuck in the desert, and one zombie just trudging after her nonstop - it sounds dumb but it ends up kinda emotional??
Blood Quantum
Set on a First Nations reserve where the people there don’t turn, which already makes it way different from most zombie movies, and while some of it is really rough, the story underneath it all has real meaning - not a “fun” zombie movie, more like a “damn, ok” one.
The Dead
Shot in beautiful West Africa, with not a lot of dialogue, just long stretches of trying to survive and everything feeling sorta hopeless, with buckets of quiet atmosphere oozing throughout the film.
The Plague of the Zombies
While this one is certainly well regarded among the hammer horror fan elite, it’s also very underrated in my view, where the makeup in particular is pretty creepy, especially for the time, and it also has a strong gothic atmosphere vibe going for it if that’s your vibe.
Dance of the Dead
This one was a huge surprise when I watched it, and is way better than it has any right to be, featuring a “made for fun” energy with some absurd humor and heart, and plenty of tropes.
