Zombie movies are simply some of the scariest because there never seems to be a definitive, happy ending on the site. Netflix has been offering these types of movies for quite some time and it has worked to the point that people have managed to enjoy them immensely for as long as they stick around. Something about the idea that nothing and no one can stop the spread of the virus that is supposed to wipe out all of humanity except those who can fight back, hide or just survive, attracts many people when it it’s like a story. Such films offer their ups and downs as they progress, though the hopelessness of it all lingers. It must be remembered that no matter how the movie ends, a virus like this would actually change the entire landscape of the world as we know it. But as a story, it’s something people can’t get enough of.
Here are five of the best zombie movies currently on Netflix.
5. Cargo
A lot of times in zombie movies you‘re just watching people try to survive, the idea of morality and ethics is occasionally tossed about like a child’s balloon when useful. Andy does have a responsibility though, and that’s to keep his daughter Rosie alive, and although the road has been hard and not at all fair since he was bitten, it’s a responsibility he takes on all the same. . Upon meeting a young girl named Thoomi, he finds at least some hope that his daughter will survive as he begins to succumb to the virus that is cutting its way through him. In the end, Rosie is picked up by a band of survivors and Andy is put out of his misery.
4. The Ravenous
Every once in a while, zombie movies have to find a twist to make things interesting, and this one just does that because it creates a purpose for the zombies that’s hard to understand since the stacked structures they build don’t seem have a lot of a purpose other than something for them to do. But there are almost no survivors in this one as a young girl is the only one who manages to get out. In the end everyone has either become a zombie or been killed in turn, and the utter desperation is a bit hard to stomach as it means that somehow no one makes it out alive .
3. The report
It’s like someone took the idea of Jurassic Park and put it in zombie form, because honestly, that’s what it is. That’s a big reason it gets this spot on the list, because it’s the novelty of it all that works so well and the idea that someone would be sick and twisted enough to use the undead as a sport. . But as happened with Jurassic Park, you just know things are going to go from good and twisted to bad and absolutely out of control when the park somehow closes and the restraints that keep the zombies under control begin to fail. At this point there is no way to avoid it, hunters have become next on the menu.
2. Train to Busan
Self-sacrifice becomes a big part of zombie movies if no one noticed. Of course, it’s only part of human nature to take hold of disaster, as some people willingly give of themselves in any way they can, while others try to survive the same way. But the father in this film is one of the first because he does whatever it takes to keep his daughter safe on the way to Busan, no matter what it takes. The virus acts fast in some movies and slower in others, but in this one it’s like wildfire as one person is bitten and then infects another and another and so on.
1.Zombieland
In case no one has told you or you haven’t seen it yet, which is hard to imagine, it is possible to inject some comedy into a zombie movie. It doesn’t help the feeling of despair go away, but it does soften the blow since the thought of laughing at what might seem like a completely untenable existence is something of a balm. Either way, Ohio and Tallahassee make the perfect mismatch since Ohio is kind of a geek who lives by his rules while Tallahassee is the kind of guy who does things and questions later. When they meet two women who cheat on them not once but twice and, yes, even three times, it seems like it would be tempting to just cut their losses and move on. But given how few people are left in the world at the time, it’s usually best to team up with anyone.
There are plenty of zombie movies on Netflix right now, enjoy.
