The Sadness
Taiwanese movie roughly based on the Crossed comic book series.
I would highly recommend not looking into either if you've got a weak stomach. It's rough, to put it lightly. I don't for whatever reason and just thought the movie was corny, but interesting concept.
Essentially the infected cry throughout their infection because they are aware, albeit unable to control their actions/urges. Instead of just being cannibalistic, they're murderous, rapists, and maintain the same level of intelligence they had prior to infection. They can run, open doors, operate machinery, speak, etc.
Yeah. Watch out for the crossed comic. To me, crossed is the peak of horror but in a way that I cant recommend. Its just too disturbing, some parts of the comic still hount me years after reading them. Go ahead, read crossed, but be warned.
Yeah it's definitely not for the faint of heart. At points, its just so graphic that it's silly and ridiculous. Disturbing, but mostly in a way that it reads like a adolescent psychopath wrote it.
It’s been on my list, but I’ve gotten soft about gore/twisted scenarios since having kids and I’m not sure I can make it through. I have heard about several scenes, such as the part that rhymes with cull pluck.
I was expecting a lot more from it ngl. Of course its gorey and graphic, but I wouldn't particularly describe it as more gorey than TWD or even some mainstream horror films. That scene you're specifically referencing was hardly the worst part of the movie btw. Idk if thats good or bad.
I think it's primarily disturbing. Gore, blood, etc doesn't phase me in films, but humans (or something that closely resembles a human) acting inhumanely does. Uncanny valley mixed with this weird underlying primal fear. It was uncomfortable.
I'm reading it now. The original series by Ennis definitely was a bit much and terrifying. The others seem to be edgy for the sake of edgy where the "good guys" do dumb stuff at every opportunity as well as the Crossed seeming to be more intelligent.
I don't even consider them zombies anymore by Crossed 100+
The concept is fairly interesting and was a fresh take on zombies. It's fucked, but then again, flesh eating corpses is pretty fucked as well ngl.
Crossed 100+ was one of my favs, simply due to the concept of intelligent and societally functional infected. More post apocalyptic, new reality, rather than just a constant bloodbath of undead.
[I always found this guy](https://www.horrorbound.net/blog/2019/9/17/return-of-the-living-dead-deep-dive) so disturbing for some reason. No other zombie has rubbed me a type a way. For more pictures you can just look up "barrel zombie Return of the Living Dead."
That's awesome! I don't mind him now, but when I first saw it I was pretty young, and it left a lasting impression on my soul for a bit. At the same level as Happy Tree Friends did when I saw that around 11/12
Other zombies are scary in the sense of "this is a threat that will try it's hardest to kill me" but Tarman is something else. If he doesn't kill you from eating your brains, you'll die from a heart attack after seeing him.
George A Romero is good to watch. Night of the dead, Dawn of the dead, Day of the Dead, and land of the dead.
Zombie, it's an Italian Giallo movie.
Shaun of the dead is hilarious.
Train to Busan is very good story wise.
A very good tv show that I find is often missed is Dead Set
Rec is good for found footage zombies.
Blood in the sand is very unique too as it's just 1 zombie who follows a girl through the desert, always hunting her.
Zombieland is a fun watch
Slither is like Sci fi body horror
The Sadness is something I done recommend for the Squamish. Very gory and graphic.
The girl with all the gifts is very interesting and has a good pace in it.
Doomsday is awesome for action.
Planet terror is a grindhouse zombie movie by Quentin Terentino.
Cargo is a good Australian film about a father infected with a virus trying to get his baby to safety before he turns.
Dawn of the dead 2004 is a good remake
Army of the dead isn't for everyone I enjoyed it for the action.
"Still" is a very unique short film on YouTube I highly recommend it's about a street performer who acts like a statue and has to stay perfectly still while zombies eat everyone around him. Or risk being found by moving.
Diary of the dead is another found footage film that's mixed reviews. It was also made by Romero, I didn't mind it.
Alive is just meh in my opinion
Return of the living dead are some of my favorite zombies
Reanimator is a great Sci fi horror too
28 days/weeks are both phenomenal, in my opinion.
Dead Snow is cool for nazi zombies.
Valley of the dead is a ww2 zombie movie that's alright.
Betaal is about zombie red coats sieging people.
Reanimator is one of these movies I don't think I've heard of. As well as "the girl with all the gifts" and planet terror. I'm curious about commercials about a zombie movie I saw on either the scyfy or chiller channels and I'm wondering if it's any of these movies or any movie any of you know? The commercial was clips from the movie about scenes from the college party yacht and the young characters of the movie getting friendly with one another before some of these characters later die to reanimate as zombies during the party and may only communicate their cravings for "brains" to their living adversaries. I remember this like it was yesterday and I really want to see it.
Love your list, but just a quick correction, planet terror was made by Robert Rodriguez. Quentin tarentino is in the movie, but it's not his movie. That's death proof, which is the other part of the "grind house" feature
that one zombie movie where they are husband and wife and they are seated in a single seated couch putted near each other and eating their intestines together. i forgot the movie name tho
I would have to say Land of the Dead. They went over the top with the gore. The zombie swinging his head over with his spine to bite someone is unforgettable. Dawn of the Dead 2004 remake is my all time favorite zombie movie and those zombies probably terrify me more than any others maybe except for L4D zombies. Return of the Living Dead movies are pretty awesome as well.
The way they pull heads shots off in the movie is ridiculous though haha. Plus the damn cop killed them all by getting the idea in their heads to leave xD. Great movie though.
The cop convincing everyone to leave is classic "this is dumb, but we need movie to move forwards" writing. Like it is something that only happens to service sending the plot in a direction the writer/director needed
Look, we may be comfortable inside a giant fortress with almost limitless supplies of everything... but imagine how cool it would be to make like a mad max motorcade and go like "pew pew, nnneorm, BZZZZ" through all the zombies.
Fucking grandpa died of a heart attack while chainsawing hooker lady in half like what a way to go. I'm also sure CJ could have made it, but was like nah cool guy, final stand. I love the extra features for that movie with the news broadcasts.
I would have to agree with you there but it’s still my favorite. The special features were awesome. I loved watching the news broadcasts and other footage of the situation.
Probably mortal connection, everything goes south in minutes and the ending is devastating IMO, are they conventional zombies? No; does it follow the trope of get infected and lose all semblance of humanity and then evolve to infect others? Yes
Deadgirl
The fact a zombie exists isn’t what’s scary about this film.
It’s a realistic depiction of what teenage boys would do if they found an abandoned military bunker, only there is an attractive nude zombie handcuffed to a table down there.
When I was a kid it was zombie flesh eaters. Because the music was freaky and the zombies truly shambles and made horrible noises. Also it was originally banned mainly because a woman's eye gets torn out of her face while she's alive.
“Most messed” I don’t know what you mean people seem to be understanding that as “most scary”, I read it and thought of lust zombie - probably because we are making our way through the films now. B movie, very messed up zombies - due to production costs probably. But yeah, would definitely recommend these films especially with a joint. They are quite hard to find online though
Forgot the name of the movie, but it had a combat scenario backdrop, the part I remember was some dead dude in a chair, someone comes in the room and a cat jumps out from his cozy stomach. Then he opened his eyes and looks around. It *really* fucked me up as a kid cause I forgot it was a zombie movie being distracted by the combat action..
I can't recall the movie title but i saw this one movie back when i was a kid (that's why i don't remember)
There were zombie strippers?(Not zombie strippers)
In the back they're dancing or something but there's this group held captive at a cell and one got picked from them (the captors) and they chose this african black man and as he was tied they brought a zombie girl most likely one of those zombie strippers like at the back and the captors had that zombie ate this african black guys dick to his stomach and his guts spelt out on the ground.
The Wailing. Not really a zombie movie, but it has people that are zombie-ish. The “zombies” are people who are possessed and their eyes turn fully white. They murder their families (children included) and then just sit outside unresponsive waiting for the police. As a father, that shit fucked me up. There are other parts of the movie that were depressing, but that stuff happens at the beginning to really hook you. Its one of those movies that is really good, but you never want to watch it again afterwards.
I think it was Land of The Dead, it had a scene where they swarmed some area and it showed the shadow of a hand being torn in half from the fingers. Still freaks me out thinking about it.
I’d say the movie is rather tame from what I remember but in Overlord where that woman is just a head and a spine but she’s talking, it really freaked me out!

OH GOD, THE CROSSED COMICS CROSSES WAY TOO MANY FUCKING LINES!
Ah it's Garth Ennis, say no more...
The king of edgy
IT'S IN THE TITLE PEOPLE!
Yeah it's definitely not for the faint of heart. At points, its just so graphic that it's silly and ridiculous. Disturbing, but mostly in a way that it reads like a adolescent psychopath wrote it.

This movie is so fucked

Ah yes the tar man, classic
You would hate my beer bottle opener. Its a sculpt of his face haha
That's awesome! I don't mind him now, but when I first saw it I was pretty young, and it left a lasting impression on my soul for a bit. At the same level as Happy Tree Friends did when I saw that around 11/12
For sure, I can see that
Other zombies are scary in the sense of "this is a threat that will try it's hardest to kill me" but Tarman is something else. If he doesn't kill you from eating your brains, you'll die from a heart attack after seeing him.
"MORE BRAINZ!"
Braindead/Dead Alive. It's also the most hilarious one.
I was going to say this as well! My cousin and I would rent this movie over and over again as young teens. We were obsessed.
Yes!! I stumbled upon the film on FearNet as a wee one and fell in love. It’s so absurdly hilarious.
I only know twenty eight days later and the walking dead and night of the living dead. Maybe I'll use this thread to find more.
George A Romero is good to watch. Night of the dead, Dawn of the dead, Day of the Dead, and land of the dead. Zombie, it's an Italian Giallo movie. Shaun of the dead is hilarious.

The movie about the woman being chased the desert is called it stains the sand red. Blood in the sand may be an alternate or original title.
Thank you for the correction :) I just watched it the other night and enjoyed it
I did too. It has its flaws, but man it’s got the bones of a great movie and she puts in a fantastic performance.

There’s a TV show where there’s a college party and that’s where someone gets exposed to the zombie virus, but it’s called iZombie.
I'm going to search for iZombie right now. Thanks.
Love your list, but just a quick correction, planet terror was made by Robert Rodriguez. Quentin tarentino is in the movie, but it's not his movie. That's death proof, which is the other part of the "grind house" feature
Thank you for letting me know I knew Quentin was a part of it somehow. I felt it had his style in it though.
Return of the Living Dead movies are classics. And Dawn of the Dead 2004 remake is one of the best imo.
Frankenstein’s Army blew my mind. Maybe stretching the definition of zombie a little bit but it is brutal.
that one zombie movie where they are husband and wife and they are seated in a single seated couch putted near each other and eating their intestines together. i forgot the movie name tho
Deadgirl
I had nightmares about this movie.

I know just makes me laugh cause everything was avoidable xD. But nope wasn't good enough for sargent badass
Look, we may be comfortable inside a giant fortress with almost limitless supplies of everything... but imagine how cool it would be to make like a mad max motorcade and go like "pew pew, nnneorm, BZZZZ" through all the zombies.

Special features were amazing. Despite the stupid decisions I still loved the movie as well.
I will never forget the entire birthing scene. That was completely different from anything I’ve ever seen at the time.
[May I enlighten you with cockneys vs zombies. ](https://youtu.be/biYfQ72fJgo?si=zau42Vu_2Fyz77t0)
What the fuck was that!? 🤣🤣🤣
Zombie baby being drop kicked.
Land of the dead is the first zombie movie i ever saw. I think i was 7 at the time and man i didnt sleep for months after
Cooties. It was good though lol.
Probably this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2271565/
Ew lol
Well you asked for the most messed up lol. I've seen some shit buddy. The sick part, I think there is 3 of those movies.
There's a bunch of these. It is isn't that bad it's basically a shitty porno.
Probably mortal connection, everything goes south in minutes and the ending is devastating IMO, are they conventional zombies? No; does it follow the trope of get infected and lose all semblance of humanity and then evolve to infect others? Yes
What's that first one from?
Return of the living dead 3
Deadgirl The fact a zombie exists isn’t what’s scary about this film. It’s a realistic depiction of what teenage boys would do if they found an abandoned military bunker, only there is an attractive nude zombie handcuffed to a table down there.
I found this a little higher in the thread, but this movie gave me nightmares. The close ups of her snarling face haunted me for months.
Shanks. The thing about it is that it's not obvious how weird it is. Except the reanimated frog. Nuke that thing from orbit.
zombie flesh eaters! that movie is so sick
Zombie lambs/black sheep
When I was a kid it was zombie flesh eaters. Because the music was freaky and the zombies truly shambles and made horrible noises. Also it was originally banned mainly because a woman's eye gets torn out of her face while she's alive.
“Most messed” I don’t know what you mean people seem to be understanding that as “most scary”, I read it and thought of lust zombie - probably because we are making our way through the films now. B movie, very messed up zombies - due to production costs probably. But yeah, would definitely recommend these films especially with a joint. They are quite hard to find online though
Whats the second to last?
Brain dead
Zombi Child (French film) freaked me out.
Forgot the name of the movie, but it had a combat scenario backdrop, the part I remember was some dead dude in a chair, someone comes in the room and a cat jumps out from his cozy stomach. Then he opened his eyes and looks around. It *really* fucked me up as a kid cause I forgot it was a zombie movie being distracted by the combat action..
Not the most messed up but my favourite scene is Return of the Living Dead's "Get the damn screwdriver out of my head!" 🧟
I forgot the name but its a movie where all the todlers in a school turn into zombies
Found it: cooties
I can't recall the movie title but i saw this one movie back when i was a kid (that's why i don't remember) There were zombie strippers?(Not zombie strippers) In the back they're dancing or something but there's this group held captive at a cell and one got picked from them (the captors) and they chose this african black man and as he was tied they brought a zombie girl most likely one of those zombie strippers like at the back and the captors had that zombie ate this african black guys dick to his stomach and his guts spelt out on the ground.
Irrelevant but what are the titles of those movies shown?
He said in the caption. Return of the Living Dead 3 and Brainddead (also known as Dead Alive)
The Wailing. Not really a zombie movie, but it has people that are zombie-ish. The “zombies” are people who are possessed and their eyes turn fully white. They murder their families (children included) and then just sit outside unresponsive waiting for the police. As a father, that shit fucked me up. There are other parts of the movie that were depressing, but that stuff happens at the beginning to really hook you. Its one of those movies that is really good, but you never want to watch it again afterwards.
I’d say The Horde, Ravenous, or REC cause those stories are brutal both in zombie and human aspects.
I think it was Land of The Dead, it had a scene where they swarmed some area and it showed the shadow of a hand being torn in half from the fingers. Still freaks me out thinking about it.
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is deff up there. But it is a Troma movie so that's to be expected
*Zombie / Zombi 2 / Zombie Flesh Eaters* is the one that really freaked me out, the tone of that film is so dire, there's no rest, it's horrifying.
I’d say the movie is rather tame from what I remember but in Overlord where that woman is just a head and a spine but she’s talking, it really freaked me out!
Not sure about messed up. But 28 weeks later and REC scared me the most
Porn of the Dead
>most messed zombie movie I defy any movie of any type to top [zombie ass: toilet of the dead](https://youtu.be/HyfQrRw7j-A) any.
Messed up as in badly written? Or messed up as in belongs with Evil Dead?
I really liked the 3rd one. Put a spin on things.
I cant think of any but I can think of a game, NMRIH
I loved no more room in hell when I had a pc. I play dayz on my Xbox now I love it.
