A man leads a group of survivors and tries to uncover the source of the invasion, because the dead come to the shore along with the waves from the ocean. In the picture there is also the desire of a fraudster to save the world, and numerous bloody massacres with infected zombies.
This film was not released worldwide, it was shown on the American mystical channel Syfy in the summer of 2019, which is why few people know about it.
9. baby zombie
french film “Baby Zombie” shows the viewer not quite the usual picture. The story involves Clervius Narcissus, the most famous Haitian zombie – the man was buried in 1962, but after a witchcraft ritual he rose from the dead, worked as a slave on a plantation for several years, and then returned to his family after long wanderings.

8. Golem: Home
According to legend, the mythical character golem was once created from clay by a rabbi to protect the Jewish people. An animated giant is intimately connected to his creator, but what if dark magic isn’t as simple and logical as it seems? On this question, the plot of the mystical horror is built. “Big: Home”.
In the center of the plot is the girl Hannah, who lost her son a few years ago. When her village is threatened with annihilation, she turns to ancient scriptures and revives dead flesh. Hannah is driven by the goal of finding protection, but the darkness she turned to proves to be extremely insidious.
7. Scary stories to tell in the dark
A film by Guillermo del Toro “Scary stories to tell in the dark” – really serious and heavy work. A company of school friends who are fond of horror stories go to a closed mansion for Halloween, which is notorious. There they find a manuscript – a real collection of scary urban stories. Reading them, the guys do not even suspect that the very next day the characters will haunt them in reality.
The awakened ancient evil is eager to show itself and it is not known whether it will be possible to cope with it. This is not a classic film about the risen dead and the apocalypse, it shows different forms of evil spirits, from ghosts to decaying zombies.
6. Little monsters
Australian film “Little Monsters” (“or “Little Monsters”) is filmed in one of the most popular combination of genres – comedy and horror. A group of preschoolers, accompanied by their teacher, go out of town to communicate with animals on a special farm. During a short trip nearby, the military was unable to stop the zombie outbreak, and the monsters are already in the same area as the children.
The resourceful teacher seeks to save not only the lives of the kids, but also their psyche, convincing that everything that happens around is just a game. This film is surprisingly light for the horror genre and filled with quality humor.
5. Kingdom
Zombies and court plots? An unusual combination, but in the 2019 series “Kingdom” there is both. The action takes place in Korea, where the ruler dies after a long illness. The royal adviser becomes involved in the return of the monarch to life in the form of evil spirits and is now trying with all his might to hide this secret even from the son of the ruler.
But at such a high post, zombies need to be eaten – the assistant secretly feeds the sovereign with subjects. The events develop quickly and thoughtfully, this series will definitely appeal to fans of zombie stories.
4. black summer
“Black Summer” is an American post-apocalyptic series. In its meaning, this is a prequel (a story about events before) of the famous TV series “Z Nation”. The chaos around, the changed world – all this does not negate human feelings. It is they who drive the main character – she lost her daughter and now goes on a dangerous journey through the new America to find her. On the way, you will meet not only numerous crazy zombies, but also groups of survivors, from whom you can also expect a dirty trick.
“Black Summer” perfectly conveys the heavy atmosphere of the zombie world without depriving the viewer of the action. The series has only 8 episodes, so it is full of events.
3. The dead don’t die
In the provincial city of Centerville, nothing strange happens, life goes on calmly and measuredly. But a sudden anomalous lunar radiation changes everything – the dead rise from their graves. At first, the attacks are single and few people believe in the deputy sheriff’s theory of a zombie apocalypse, but events develop very quickly. This film is also not without humor. For example, the local zombies are drawn to what they loved in life – someone grabs a tennis racket, and someone says “chardonnay” instead of the expected “brains”.
Cast “The Dead Don’t Die” will delight all fans of big cinema: Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Selena Gomez, etc.
2. Pet cemetery
One of the most anticipated films of 2019 “Pet cemetery”, a remake of the 1989 tape. The horror film is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. The main character, Louis Creed, moves with his family to a new house, but soon a misfortune happens – the family’s favorite, Church’s cat is hit by a car. The neighbor advises to give the animal to the ground in the old Indian cemetery, and the very next day the pet returns home safe and sound. But everything is not so rosy – this is not at all the cat that he was before. The worst begins when the son of the protagonist accidentally dies.
1. Welcome to Zombieland 2
“Zombieland: Control Shot” or just “Welcome to Zombieland 2” – the long-awaited sequel to the popular horror comedy film (the first part was released in 2009). In the center of the plot is the same fearless four survivors who have already reached the White House in Washington. Now they will have to face new challenges: zombies with advanced abilities that are harder to defeat, other people and internal clashes in the group.
The film was shot in the same high spirits – the fight against the risen dead is spectacular, and the characters of the main characters are lively and funny. Those who watched the first part should definitely watch the second part, and those who hear about the film for the first time should prepare for viewing.
