Zombie movies are awesome! They can be either terrifying or funny, and it is always fascinating to see the different imaginings of the undead. The best don’t just deal with running and killing (though that is always a thing), but with how humanity responds to a crisis and how we react to losing the people you love.
We have come up with a list of the 10 best zombie movies currently on Netflix. There are lots of foreign film options, which offer an entirely different perspective on the genre. In fact, the first option on our list is a brand new South Korean option. Also, check out Korean horror films Eerie and The Silent Sea.
