10 Most Unexpected Transformations In Zombie Movies

10. Lieutenant Muldoon - Planet Terror

Planet Terror is Robert Rodriguez' love letter to exploitation movies that focused on sex and splattergore. And because the story centres around a poisonous gas that turns infectees into mutant zombies, the film is filled to the brim with all sorts of creative grotesqueries.

However, Planet Terror saves the the most imaginative gore (as well as the grossest) for the end. Throughout the movie, Cherry and her friends try to stop Lieutenant Muldoon, who they believe is using the zombie gas as a bioweapon.

But when Cherry's allies confront the lieutenant in the climax, he explains how his men got infected by the zombie gas during a mission, forcing him to do what he must to survive. Suddenly, the chemical that he's been using to slow down his mutation runs out, causing Muldoon to transform into a gigantic, malformed blob. Even though we've seen dozens of people's transform into undead aberrations by this point, we have seen NOTHING like what Muldoon turns into.

He may be the bad guy, but you can't help feeling sorry for him in this moment. After seeing what a monstrosity he has become, you understand why Muldoon acted the way he did.
