5. Welcome to Zombieland (2009)
Rating - 7.4
The theme of the end of the world with the invasion of zombies and a group of survivors has been exploited in the cinema for several years. How did Zombieland attract the attention of the audience? Firstly, a well-chosen cast, secondly, a wonderful soundtrack, and thirdly, humor (yes, there can be good black humor in films about the global "all-propalov" too).And then there's Bill Murray and his 10 minutes on screen - it's amazing. If you want to have a good time, check out Welcome to Zombieland. Only without children.
4.28 days later (2002)
Rating - 7.5
Sometimes an attempt to save nature can result in the death of millions of people. This is what happens when a group of "green" infiltrates a secret laboratory and releases a monkey infected with a terrible virus of aggression. The virus is spreading rapidly and now the surroundings are filled with bloodthirsty monsters that were once people. The surviving civilians, along with the military, are hiding in an abandoned house. Perhaps they will be able to rectify the situation. The frightening soundtrack adds drama, and the "shaking" camera of the operator, together with the acceleration of the picture when attacked by the infected, can overtake even the strongest mentality of people.
3. Last love on Earth (2010)
Rating - 7.6
It is scary when one of the five feelings given by nature disappears. What if all five disappear, one after the other? This is exactly what happens to the people in the film. The main characters - chef Michael and epidemiologist Susan - do not love each other at first, but gradually they realize that in a world where feelings cease to serve their "masters", you need to stick together and appreciate every day you live. The picture was shot to the maximum
an intelligible form, without unnecessary sentimentality, and therefore what is happening on the screen looks even heavier and darker.
2. The day after tomorrow (2004)
Rating - 7.6
Die from drought or freeze? An unattractive choice, whatever one may say. However, the filmmakers left no other choice to the characters.
