The plot revolves around the legendary drug trafficker Alonso Marroquín (Sergio Peris-Mencheta), who, with his son Lucas (Nery Arredondo) escapes from a high-security Mexican prison and finds refuge in Paradiso, a remote drug rehabilitation facility located on the American side of the border. Meanwhile, the bodies of experimental piglets, who were victims of a failed military experiment by the U.S., are abandoned near the border, and then revived as mutant zombies. In the search for Alonso and his son, the Mexican special forces team is infected by mutant zombies, becoming a zombie army. Alerted by the imminent threat that this new species represents for humanity, the United States Army embarks on a mission to annihilate them.[4]
Zombies in the Amazon.
A mysterious plague has taken over the planet and has taken most of humanity down with it. While most of the world has turned into blood-hungry zombies, a loner named Rourke (Johnny Strong) stumbles upon a group of survivors; he bands together with them to survive.
The four friends, including Mike (Davis), eat some ice cream and turn into zombies themselves; the only thing is, they don't understand they're the undead. From then on, the quartet lives their lives as zombies, realizing what is happening to them, and the rest of the world around them. The movie is silly and doesn't take itself seriously, which is sometimes why a movie is so good.
Because it's set around the Christmas holidays, the brain-hungry zombies are dressed to impress, which doesn't make the situation at hand any better. While Anna and her friends are trying to make it across town to safety, she realizes that being a teenager is just as hard.
It seems as though ever since zombies shuffled onto the horror film scene in George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead," their popularity has exploded like so many walker guts in an average "The Walking Dead" episode. And fortunately for zombie aficionados with Amazon Prime Video, the service has you covered with globs of free viscera included in your Prime subscription.
There's nothing like accidentally crashing a party and waking up to find out you're alone in a world filled with zombie terror. That's what happens to musician Sam, who stops to get his tapes back from his ex-girlfriend, only to find she's having a few friends over. Sam winds up unconscious after he's accidentally hit in the face by a party-goer, and when he awakens, the apartment is a bloody mess, and his ex is a zombie. "The Night Eats the World" favors turbo-zombies a la "28 Days Later," and worse, these critters don't make noise. Sam's solitude slowly drives him mad, but is he really the sole survivor? And if not, how will he find others if he's too afraid to leave safety?
"White Zombie" is a classic film of the zombie genre, though there are no brain-eating monsters in it. Well, there's one "monster," but he just chews scenery because he's Bela Lugosi. The legendary Lugosi plays Murder Legendre, an evil master of voodoo who can turn people into zombies and make them do his bidding. He's asked to do just that to Madeleine by plantation owner Charles, who's fallen for her even though she's engaged to someone else. Made before the Hays Code was enforced, "White Zombie" gets away with some relative immorality, but the real reasons to watch it are for its classic stature and Lugosi's over-the-top, fun performance.
In "Cockneys vs. Zombies," a group of East Enders have to fight off a zombie invasion. The British comedy includes bank robbers with hearts of gold and a group of retirement home residents besieged by a horde. It all starts when a couple of builders blunder into a catacomb and get attacked by ancient zombies, and as we know, that always leads to even more zombies. Meanwhile, a pair of brothers, including Harry Treadaway from "Mr. Mercedes," decide to rob a bank to save the retirement home where their grandfather lives. The opening credits are filled with jazzy graphics and a poppy song that lets you know you're in for a rollicking time, and the first scene lets you know it's also going to be gory as all get-out.
Moody and tragic, the French film "Zombi Child" takes zombies back to their roots in Haiti. In 1962, a Haitian man dies and is turned into a zombie who's forced into slavery. Several decades later, a young teen, Fanny, at an all-girls school runs her own literary society. She lets a newcomer, Mélissa, join the group, and soon, the Haitian Mélissa reveals her aunt is a practitioner of voodoo. There's a connection between the two stories, as well as self-awareness on the part of director Bertrand Bonello that he's telling a Haitian story from an outsider's perspective. The film is a slow burn, but the resulting horror of the ending lands hard.
In "The Dead," the zombies have already been overrunning African villages when the film opens. U.S. Air Force engineer Lt. Brian Murphy, the sole survivor of a plane crash, is in dire straits when an AWOL African soldier, Sgt. Daniel Dembele, comes upon him and helps him escape the zombies about to snack on him. The two trek to the nearest military base in hopes of finding both Daniel's missing son and a means to escape the horrors around them, hoping the undead outbreak is localized. Combining low-budget zombie action with road movie tropes raises "The Dead" a cut above average.
