10 Horror Television Episodes That Are Practically Flawless

10. Episode 11 - All Of Us Are Dead

The penultimate episode of Korean zombie drama All of Us Are Dead's explosive debut season is a sublime masterclass in raw emotion, thrilling action sequences and evocative displays of heroism, sacrifice and unbridled evil.

While this episode may be flawless, it's not for the faint hearted. The central themes of the episode are loss and sacrifice, with both desolating elements coming about in spades.

All of Us Are Dead had spent an entire season building to On-Jo's reunion with her father So-Ju, only to whip him away in a brutal instant. The doting father forfeits his own life after he is bitten by a zombie, distracting the oncoming hordes who subsequently devour him as the survivors make their getaway.

However, the writers weren't quite done with their harrowing masterpiece yet, inflicting the cruellest twist of fate imaginable. Protagonist Lee Cheong-San is bitten by the season's chief sh*t-heel Gwi-Nam, a despicable bully who had previously been turned into a halfbie - zombies who retain their human consciousness with all of the enhanced physical abilities of this universe's version of the undead.

Cheong-San gets a tearful goodbye with On-Jo - she already lost her father for Christ's sake! - before he's off for an epic rooftop showdown with Gwi-Nam. Episode 11 delivers its crowning jewel in the form of an almighty cliffhanger of the loftiest proportions, as our protagonist and his adversary are seemingly blasted down an elevator shaft by the force of explosions from the arriving military.

Simply put, it's zombie horror perfection.
