10 Underrated Zombie Horror Movies You Probably Haven’t Seen

10. Life After Beth

Anyone who's a fan of Aubrey Plaza should check out one of her more obscure films, Life After Beth. In the dark comedy, Zach (Dane DeHaan) is heartbroken when his girlfriend, Beth (Aubrey Plaza) dies from a snake bite.

When Beth shows up soon after no worse for wear, Zach believes it's a miracle. But when she starts to behave erratically and eat the occasional person, Zach realises things were better when she was dead.

Rather than becoming a bloodthirsty monster straight away, Beth's transition is gradual, making it funnier and more tragic when she embraces her primal urges. The conflict between Zach and Beth's parents is riveting, since they refuse to tell their daughter she died, nor do they want anyone to know she's alive again. The fact Beth maintains her personality and ability to speak after she's resurrected makes the dynamic between the characters more compelling.

The fast-paced and sharply written horror-comedy is elevated further by the marvellous cast, which includes John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Paul Reiser, Cheryl Hines, Rob Delaney, Anna Kendrick, and Jim O' Heir.

Despite the fact Plaza is renowned for playing unhinged characters, this might be the Parks + Rec actress at her most diabolical.
