10 Horror Movies You Didn't Know Got Cancelled

10. Planet of the Dead

Zack Snyder's zombie heist flick Army of the Dead was released on Netflix in 2021 and proved to be a sizable numbers hit for the streamer, who intended to develop a wider franchise based on the movie.

This began with the spin-off prequel Army of Thieves released later in 2021, and a direct sequel to the original film, Planet of the Dead.

Several years passed as Snyder got to work on other projects - namely, his critically mauled Rebel Moon duology - and last summer reports emerged that Netflix had "quietly cancelled" not only Planet of the Dead but also a planned animated series.

Netflix hasn't revealed why they cancelled the film, and in turn, the entire Army of the Dead franchise, though there are two obvious probable causes - the disappointing critical and viewership performance of Rebel Moon, and Army of Thieves bringing in considerably less viewers than Army of the Dead.

Simply, Netflix may not have had confidence in the IP or even in Snyder moving forward.
