Ever since George Romero changed the history of horror culture by establishing his most popular zombie remake, the living dead have been a constant presence in the film world. From massive blockbuster epics to low-budget blockbusters, zombie movies have an incredible range for different audiences.
Unfortunately, thanks for such reasons the walking dead TV universes go on forever or video games overload on undead, most people burn on re-animated corpses or can't even get zombie stories in the first place.
So, if you had to pick some zombie movies to find or rediscover a true love for the zombie subgenre, which ones should you go out of your way to see? I'm Drew Dietsch and this is Giant Freakin' Robot Zombie Movies That Will Make You Love Zombie Movies.
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
As I said before, George Romero It made "zombie" a household word forever. Night of the living deadAlthough they are called ghouls in that must-see classic. And you can't go wrong watching any of his zombie outings - except maybe Diary of the DeadThis one is skippable - but the one entry that best captures the anarchic joy of the subgenre is 1978 Dawn of the Dead.
The core idea of survivors taking over the mall is given plenty of room for fun, and when zombies take a cake in the face, you get exactly what the vibe is. Dawn of the Dead It's going. That's not to say there isn't legitimate drama. Dawn of the DeadBut it's a bomb concept that inspires the next remake and the hilarious comedy. Dead Rising video game franchise.
Dawn of the Dead It's not the first zombie movie, but it's the first to take the concept and realize the potential of sheer fun without losing what makes the subgenre unique.
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
In the year Once the 1980s rolled around, the horror genre came out with scores and over-the-top comedies, and that included Night of the living dead serial type, Return of the living dead.
This entry takes that idea Night of the living dead It is a film based on a true event covered up by the US government. After releasing the poisonous gas responsible for creating the zombies, the resurrected dead go out to party.
Return of the living dead It takes a zombie movie into full punk rock black comedy satire. It boasts a colorful and memorable score that I'd argue might be the most fun zombie movie ever made. Tarman alone is in contention for the best zombie movie of all time.
Re-Animator (1985)
The release is unrated and all the better for it. Animation again It takes inspiration from an HP Lovecraft short story and turns it up to eleven. Suppose a brilliant, driven scientist invents a glowing green compound that brings the dead back to life. Unfortunately, they seem very angry.
As the story unfolds, we are treated to more gifts. A terrific performance by Geoffrey Combs, low budget direction from Stuart Gordon, the idea of decapitating the villainous Dr. Hill and then re-creating his head! Who wouldn't want to see that?
is true, Animation again Deliberately bad taste cinema. He is not afraid to push the envelope. Heck, it just rips through it. But if you can appreciate his crumbly goofiness Animation again It might be one of your favorite movies.
Night of the Crips (1986)
mixing Foreign citizens And the zombies? yes please! Night of the Crips He throws a bunch of space into a high school prom and the result is one of the funniest hidden gems of the 1980s. His tongue was firmly planted in his cheek. Night of the Crips It pays homage to the classic era of the 50s Sci-fi Scary but with fun special effects and humor it gives it all the 80's brilliance.
Thanks to Tom Atkins as an ardent detective with a dark secret Night of the Crips There's more going on than B-movie glory. But those are more than enough to make this a guaranteed good time.
Dead Heat (1988)
If you've seen her, you know we love Williams Our video is on PhantomAnd again, the movie doesn't get much better than Williams as a hot cop Dead heat. After being robbed by seemingly unkillable attackers, Williams and his partner played SNL alum Joe Piscopo, investigate a diabolical plot to raise corpses.
Unfortunately, Williams is killed and must be brought back to life by a resurrection machine. There is only so much time to try and solve the issue before it gets worse. Yes, our hero is a zombie cop.
Dead heat All the goofball horror gags of the 80s shoot-em-ups thrown into the mix are fun. If you can't smile when a Chinese butchery brings dead animals back to life, maybe fun zombie movies aren't for you.
Braindead aka Dead Alive (1992)
Before conquering Middle-earth, Peter Jackson He was making some of the most offensive and horror comedies of his time. And its undisputed masterpiece is the zombie free-for-all. Brain deadknown as Dead alive In the US

As things escalate, there are zombies, a karate priest, a zombie baby, and the best lawnmower scene in cinematic history, I don't think we can even show it here!

Graveman (1994)
Director Michel Sovi came under the tutelage of Italian horror maestro, Dario Argentino. And after directing a handful of his own films, Sovi created what is easily one of the best Italian zombie films ever seen. Grave man.
Rupert Everett plays Francesco, a depressed caretaker of a cemetery whose dead inhabitants rise after seven days in the earth, and must be shot in the head and reburied for good. As a mysterious beauty enters Francesco's life, a darkly comic corpse-cap twist begins, culminating in a conversation with the Grim Reaper himself.
Grave man It gives you flying zombie heads and jokes about impotence in one breath. It's a truly unique horror comedy that's as art house as Grinding House. This might be for more discerning zombie movie lovers, but it might also be the best of the whole bunch.
On the contrary (2000)
Japan loves its zombie movies, and this whole list has a lot to choose from that could only be Japanese zombie movies, but the one you should watch is Ryuhei Kitamura's. In contrast.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Edgar Wright's is the best zombie movie of the 2000s if you ask me and you've watched the video so far. Shaun of the Dead. This is a loving tribute to zombie movies, creating its own characters and story Shaun of the Dead It throws Londoners into a zombie apocalypse and excitement ensues.
What does he do? Shaun of the Dead Not only is the excellent cast and how funny the script is, but it's the film's legitimate and engaging characters that will surprise you as the film delves into real drama and conflict.
At this time. Shaun of the Dead It should be a movie that everyone should see. You don't get a much better zombie movie than this.
Fido (2006)
The last entry on our list seems to be a bit of a forgotten film at this point and that's a shame because Fido It's one of the most original and clever ideas I've ever seen in a zombie movie.
Inspired by an alternate 1950s America, Fido proposed the idea that zombies exist and can be used as low energy, pets, and even romantic companions. The main story is about a boy and his dog, er, zombie Fido, and how his love for his pet brings down the oppressive system of society's standards.
Seriously! Fido It's a bright and chipper film that touches on just the right amount of dark material so that it never feels preachy or detracts from the film's good times. If there is a movie in this list you should search Fido. He is a very good boy.
