10 Hidden Gem Zombie Horror Movies

6. Yesterday

Directed by Rob Grant, 2009's Yesterday warrants a spot on this list for just how great a job was done with so little.

Sure, it may not be a revolutionary picture, but Yesterday deserves huge props for being made by a bunch of college kids for just $25,000. As such, it's a great film to check out for those looking for examples of how to make the absolute most of the sparse resources at your disposal.

A smidge formulaic in its plot, here we have six people thrown together as the world goes to sh*t courtesy of zombies. There's trust issues, there's some underhand intentions, and there's plenty of chunks of flesh being devoured.

With Yesterday, the focus is on how people would coexist in a situation like this, with the movie very much drawing certain of the six as villains and others of the six as more heroic sorts. As is so often the case, though, those roles become less defined in some cases as the film plays out.

Again, don't go into Yesterday expecting some glossy movie full of great performances and stunning set designs. But what you do get is a majorly impressive look at what can be done with next to nothing.
