Top 5 Zombie Flicks

If you've spent countless hours splattering brains of legions of the living dead in Left 4 Dead, chances are you're a wee bit obsessed with zombies. If that's the case, I'm sure you like watching zombie flicks too! With that in mind, we've cooked up a scrumptious list of our favorite zombie flicks...

28 Days/Weeks Later

A newly researched 'Rage' virus outbreak converts almost everyone in Great Britain into mindless bloodthirsty zombies. The protagonist 'Jim' - a bicycle courier man - wakes up from a coma, just to find London deserted of all but these creatures. What follows is a struggle for survival as Jim uncovers others like him who're fighting for their lives. Unlike most old-school zombie flicks, the infected here are fast and deadly, and the movie's dread wasn't pivoted around your standard monster-jumps-outta-nowhere scares, but rather from a creepy atmosphere and the feeling of isolation. Even its sequel, 28 Weeks Later, was brilliant!

I am Legend

The research into a possible cure for Cancer, mutates the measles virus into a strain of a deadly airborne virus that kills 90% of the world's population and turns most of the people left alive into hairless, violent zombies with an aversion to UV light similar to vampires. The movie followed the story of U.S. Army Virologist - Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville (Will Smith) - who's amongst a handful of survivors in the world, and possibly the only survivor in the whole of New York City. The entire post-apocalyptic world depicted in the movie feels breathtakingly real, and the story unfolds into a truly epic, yet simple plot that zombie-flick fans should not miss!

Zombie Strippers

A virus designed to re-animate U.S. Marines to fight wars breaks containment and reaches an underground strip club - how can that not be the basis of one of the most awesome zombie guy-flicks ever! Strippers + Zombies = Win! Zombie Strippers is the heartwarming tale of a bunch of strippers-turned-zombies vying for every one's attention with their seductive dances, only to eat their brains out as snack between dances. This over-the-top zombie comedy is sexy, gory, and all but scary. If you like like light-hearted 'OMG'-inducing flicks, this one's definitely worth a watch!

Dawn of the Dead

If it's old-school zombie classics you crave, there's no flick like Dawn of the Dead. The movie broke away from the mindless gore-flick genre and actually had a great story to tell. The plot sees a group of friends surviving a zombie epidemic that no one fully understands. In a desperate attempt to stay alive, they seek refuge in an abandoned Mall. They carve their way through heaps of the old-school slow moving zombie, to make the mall a safe haven and once that's done, they indulge in the material comforts the place has to offer.

Shaun of the Dead

A romantic comedy set during a zombie apocalypse - if you like off-beat flicks, it doesn't get any weirder than this! Shaun of the Dead follows the life of an unhappy appliance salesman, who learns how to appreciate what he has only after hell breaks loose and most of the people he knows turn into zombies. Being prone to disaster throughout his life, Shaun's so used to being calm when the feces hits the air-conditioning, that he takes charge of the situation and really shines through, to win-over the heart of his ex-girlfriend and keep his loved ones safe.
