It is still hugely popular.

There are heaps of Korean ones on Netflix.

Any favorites?

Train to Busan's ending was really off-putting...

when we saw how fake the acting behind the final bite was; like, you could see the protagonist basically ensuring his hand was bite-able and waiting for it. It was so corny that it totally took me out of the movie's suspension of disbelief for plot armory.

And #Alive had such a similarly dumb moment...

when they knowingly and willingly descended to the parking lot. Like, really? They were able to survive all that? Come on lol. A good plot does not need armor.

I'm always up for new ones, though.

If you haven't caught it, I thought All of Us Are Dead was really good.

High school drama, bullying, young loves, all mixed with a zombie outbreak.

Naw, None that I would recommend.

Train to Busan was the only one I finished and it got sillier and sillier the longer it went on. There was a series one that took place in a high School, it got stupider and stupider the longer it went on as well.

The only zombie apocalypse movies I recommend are:

Night of the Living Dead.
Dawn of the Dead (both of them)
Night of the Comet
Night Eats World
World War Z (Shocking I know)
I Am Legend
28 Days Later
The Girl With All the Gifts
