10 Scariest Zombie Transformations In Movies

9. The Concubine - Rampant

Rampant is a Korean movie from 2018 set in the Joseon dynasty. It didn't review incredibly, nor did it make any money at the box office, but it does contain this excellently shot zombie transformation scene.

The King of Korea is too lenient towards China, according to his ministers. Do they talk to him about this? Do they write their grievances down in a suggestion box? No, they decide to send a zombified concubine to hill him.

Great people skills there, guys.

A local woman is infected with a zombie virus and sent to join the King. What follows is an incredibly tense scene where the woman slowly realises what is happening to her, all whilst sat in a room with her fellow mistresses and the ruler himself.

Her turn is slow and painful. She collapses to the floor as the other women look on, writhing around in pain. Then, she sits up, revealing her hideously deformed face.

The physical performance of actor Seo Ji-hye is excellent, but what really sells this scene are the responses of the other concubines watching on. They are all powerless to stop the transformation, and their fear is contagious.
