Best zombie and / or apocalyptic film 23:40 - Jun 21 with 447 viewsredrickstuhaart

Putting aside series, for the sake of simplicity and clarity.

Im watching 28 days later. Saw it years ago, but the new sequel intrigued me so I thought Id go back. Really very good indeed. Probably underappreciated it at the time.

So - best apocalyptic film, zombies or otherwise. And why?

I fecking love the end of the world.

Zombies - Zombieland. Just fun throughout, not taking itself too seriously.

Apocalypse - The Day After Tomorrow. Mainly for being able to rewatch it.

Zombieland, for the cameo.

If you know, you know, but I don't want to spoiler it for those who don't!

There's an incredibly intense Spanish kinda-zombie film called Rec which I consider to be a modern masterpiece.

Shaun of the Dead deserves a mention for several brilliant set-piece comedy scenes. I prefer it to Hot Fuzz and The World's End, but the latter certainly meets your criteria.

Tarantino's Dawn Till Dusk is flawed, but has some great moments of intensity.

The Quiet Earth is brilliant. Very different from the usual apocalypse films.

Zombie wise, I like Zombieland for the lols (the Bill Murray cameo in particular is sublime) and 28 Days Later is also very good.

Shaun of the Dead, because it works as both a horror film AND a comedy.

Threads ...I need say no more......but I will, I was in my very early teens when it was broadcast at the height of the cold war.
I actually got my teen daughter to watch it a year or 2 ago hoping but not expecting to show the power of it and what we lived with in the back of our heads all the time.
She had the same reaction which is quite incredible and she's seen it all like most teens these days.

I think I am leaning towards The Road.

Though it is not a film I will ever choose to watch again. That one genuinely affected me for days.

I havent watched zombieland. Perhaps I should.

I understand the votes for Shaun, but its not the best one, surely?!

Yes t'was very bleak...I'll skip the book then.

Always been a fan of "cosy catastrophe" .. Day of the Triffids deffo in the top 3...but the series rather than the film in that case.

Cormac McCarthy is a very good writer, always enjoy his work. Always hard hitting and a always seems to include hard travelling through Mexico/ Southern states etc beautifully described.

The first half of the film is really good, never really liked it after the blood droplet went into the dad's eye. Bit of a silly ending in my eye. I don't think the squaddies would turn the way they do after only 28 days.

I quite like I am legend. Both endings are very good.

I am legend is not quite a remake of The Omega Man but based on the same book.

We just recently rewatched 28 Days Later as well. One of my favourite movies, although watching this time we thought the girl's accent was bad. Hadn't noticed that before.

For zombies - World War Z. Think it got slated by the critics but I love it. Like a big budget Hollywood version of 28 Days Later, with very fast zombies!

As for apocalyptic, I'd recommend Cloverfield. Coherence and Snowpiercer. First two very suspenseful, particularly in the way they don't fully show what's going on. Snowpiercer has an odd premise - the remains of humanity live on a train! But it's cleverly done and well acted as society divides up between different classes (again).

Trust the process. Trust Phil.
