Top 10 Zombie Films on Netflix – October 2024

Ever since The Walking Dead took the world by storm, zombies have been increasingly hard to avoid. Sure, they’re not as prevalent as they once were, but walkers are still lurking around every corner — and if you’re looking to spend some time with the undead, what better place to find them than on Netflix?

Here are the 10 best zombie movies to watch on the streamer right now.

#Alive (2020)

A man confined to his apartment during a zombie outbreak must figure out how to fend for himself with a lack of technology as the undead close in. This stylish genre mashup from South Korea is one of the country’s best zombie products (which is saying a lot). —Declan Gallagher

Where to watch #Alive: Netflix

Director: Cho Il-hyung

Cast: Yoo Ah-in, Park Shin-hye, Jeon Bae-soo

Army of the Dead (2021)

Zack Snyder’s cheeky subversion of genre hits a sweet spot that’s part Ocean’s Eleven, part his remake of Dawn of the Dead. Snyder is clearly back in his comfort zone, unburdened by superhero mythology and uncommitted actors. That assurance shows in the final product. While his Dawn remake remains his best movie, Army of the Dead comes close to tapping into its predecessor’s grimy, gristle-splattered aesthetic. Plus: Tig Notaro, flying a helicopter. —D.G.

Director: Zack Snyder

Cast: Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Omari Hardwick, Garret Dillahunt

Cargo (2017)

Martin Freeman gives “a performance in turns stoic and heartbreakingly desperate,” says EW’s critic, in this story about a father and his daughter in the Australian outback struggling for survival after a zombie outbreak. It’s more of a character drama than a horror film, and admittedly is not a ton of fun, but it’s a strong movie and a brave take on the zombie mythos. If you’re a fan of the genre, Cargo will offer you something with more emotional weight than you’re used to. —D.G.
