And since then, a lot of creepy, disgusting, and sometimes funny films have been released about lovers of a still-hot little man.

Rating - 5.5
Our rating opens with a novelty of 2016 - the last part of the franchise so beloved by the audience with the magnificent Milla Jovovich.

There, the sinister Umbrella corporation is preparing to deliver the final blow to those who survived the zombie apocalypse. Alice will have to gather a company of like-minded people and fight not only with the usual living dead, but also with monsters with a very interesting "design". There will be many good special effects and incredible technologies, many furious fights and, of course, a lot of Milla. And for whom else are we watching Resident Evil?

Rating - 7
This is a sequel to another zombie movie (in the list of the best, the first part is in 3rd place, with a higher rating than the sequel). A virus of rage devastated London, but the military managed to restore order and the city begins to return to a quiet life. Or does it just seem ...
6. Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Rating - 7.3
Director Zack Snyder filmed this picture based on the plot of an older, but very popular horror film of the same name. The plot is typical for zombie films: bloodthirsty dead have filled everything around and only a small group of survivors are trying to hold the defense in the building of a large shopping center. In the "Dawn of the Dead" interesting even not so much zombies, as the relationship of people trapped in a death trap and at the same time having, it would seem, nothing in common except a sense of panic fear.
5. A zombie named Sean (2004)
Rating - 7.4
Can you make a successful romantic zombie comedy? This film proves that you can. Get ready for some weird but funny English humor mixed with tragedy.
The main character is a quiet loser Sean lives a routine life of home-work-pub. However, drastic changes began in his life, when, as a result of the epidemic, the corpses began not only to come to life, but also to wander the city streets in search of victims. Sean and his friends go out to fight zombies to protect themselves and their loved ones.
4. Welcome to Zombieland
Rating - 7.4
Another story in the style of "few people and many zombies in a confined space." But if in "Dawn of the Dead" the survivors took refuge in a shopping center, then in Zombieland an amusement park acts as an arena for fighting the walking dead. And there will indeed be entertainment, though for viewers who like hilarious dialogues, infernal carnage, and a bit of Bill Murray.

Rating - 7.5
The path to Hell is paved with good intentions. This proverb was forgotten by a group of "greens" who released a monkey languishing in a secret scientific laboratory. The animal turned out to be infected with the virus of aggression, which is transmitted by a bite and spreads throughout the body in seconds. As a result of the spread of the epidemic, all of England is flooded with very nimble and very vicious monsters. And only a few surviving townspeople, together with a group of military men, are trying to hide from zombies in an abandoned house.
2. Resident Evil (2002)
Rating - 7.8
The list of the best films about the zombie apocalypse has popular films. But "Resident Evil" without exaggeration can be called a cult tape. With a budget of $ 35 million, the film grossed $ 102,441,078 worldwide. And Alice, played by Milla Jovovich, for a long time became the ideal of a strong and independent heroine who, albeit not without difficulties, but gracefully and effectively copes with the hordes of the living dead.
In the center of the plot is a giant underground laboratory owned by the Umbrella corporation. A virus leaks in it, due to which people become carnivorous creatures. A group of special forces is sent to the laboratory, and finds three survivors. One of them turns out to be Alice's girlfriend, who does not remember anything about herself. The situation is complicated by the fact that in addition to zombies, the special forces are also opposed by artificial intelligence, whose task is not to release the infection out into the city, under which the laboratory is located.
1. I am a legend (2007)
Rating - 7.8
The hero of the film is Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith), who at night keeps the defense from countless zombies, and in the daytime is looking for a medicine that can return the infected to a human appearance and habits. “I Am Legend” is not just a horror film, it is an interesting and rather heavy film showing the amazing landscapes of a world without people and the immense loneliness of one person who communicates only with his dog, and sometimes with mannequins from a record store.
