2. Rammbock: Berlin Undead (2010)
Rammbock is a German zombie film telling the story of a man visiting Berlin to see his ex-girlfriend whom he desperately wants to win back. He heads to her apartment, theres some zombies, all hell breaks lose. This film is also confined to an apartment building and does go for some classic, slow zombie scares, but what really sets this film apart is its sense of heart. Its a zombie romance of sorts, with likable leads so that you seriously want the main protagonist to survive and win his girlfriend back. This film is also incredibly short, clocking in at just over an hour, but its brevity is a big part of what makes the film so effective. Its quick, lean and tense, and this same sense of urgency drives our characters as they ingeniously try to evade the zombie horde at their heels. Remember that scene in The Raid: Redemption (which, if you haven't seen, you absolutely must, after all these zombie films of course), where they use an axe to cut through the apartment floors in order to escape a different sort of horde? They do something similar here, except with a makeshift battering ram. I shouldnt need to tell you how awesome that is.
