As a huge fan of zombie movies, I've seen quite a lot of them. Those movies range from the low budget independent projects to the Hollywood-produced, star-filled blockbusters, but they all tend to have more or less the same plot and general outline regardless. However, in my quest to quench my hunger for undead antics, I have come across some quite unique interpretations of the genre - which range from great to... well... absolutely atrocious. In this article, I will be taking you through a small number of those zombie movies that are a little bit different from what we have come to expect of them. Here are seven very different modern zombie films that you probably haven't seen (unless you're a huge zombie horror fan, of course)...
7. Zombie Virus On Mulberry Street (2006)
What is so different about it? The movie takes a leaf out of Wes Craven's
Nightmare on Elm Street series and focuses all of its action in a single street - the titular Mulberry Street in downtown Manhattan - becoming the first zombie movie to do so. Moreover, the zombie infection in this movie starts off in rats, which is quite a fresh idea, and means that the main characters have to avoid both the human threat and the rodent threat. This is a highly enjoyable, well acted movie that has a 70% rating at RottenTomatoes.com.
Why have you probably never seen it? The movie was a small $60,000 project that was released straight to DVD with very little publicity.
