10 More Hidden Gem Zombie Movies You've Probably Never Seen

10. It Stains The Sands Red

It Stains the Sands Red is exactly the type of movie that rewards your experimental ventures into the independent sphere of lesser-known horror features. Directed by Colin Minihan, who's now making waves after quietly building his resume with titles such as Spiral, Grave Encounters, and Z, this is a zombie movie like no other.

Britanny Allen (The Boys) plays Molly, a woman who's trying to leave her tarnished past in a zombie-infested Los Vegas behind. With a remote airfield potentially providing a means of escape, she sets off on a life-changing journey through the desert on foot whilst being relentlessly pursued by a lone zombie.

Thanks to its unique premise, and small cast, It Stains the Sands Red makes for a much-needed and refreshing change of pace for the zombie subgenre. Rather than a group of survivors fending for themselves against an unforgiving horde of meat-hungry monsters, it offers a slow burn escapade that's tonally diverse. Though it may not excel in any one area, it's a well rounded indie that warrants your attention.
