What are the best zombie movies? The word Zombie came from the Vodou Religion of Africa, In which a Zombie is said to be an Animated Corpse which is brought back to life by a Sorcerer. The Animated corpse of the dead is fully under control of the person who brought it back from the dead. Just Like Vampire and Werewolf, the theory of Zombie also became popular among media. Mary Shelley’s Novel Frankenstein was the most popular novel on the undead. Later on several authors wrote similar novels.
However the ‘Zombie’ genre was not adapted into film industry until the 60s. The very first and also one of the most popular zombie film is said to be George A. Romero’s ‘Night of the Living Dead’ which was released in 1968. The success of this zombie film led many directors and producers to try hand in this popular sub genre. Even though Night of the living Dead was a success yet there were not many zombie films that repeated the success of the original. The decade of 70s, 80s and 90s saw various failed attempt on genre. In the 00s, the zombie genre was revisited by movies like Resident Evil and 28 Days Later. The success of these films at box office led a league of zombie films one after another.
How much people love watching zombie films and shows could be understood by the fact that AMC’s TV Show The Walking Dead which is based on Zombie apocalypse is rated as one of the best TV show of all time. From Past 15 years or so, the genre of Zombie has became hugely popular among fans and critics alike. Zombie Horror movies, Zombie comedy movies and Zombie action movies do well at box office.
