10 Zombie Movies Where Everyone Dies

Like many other horror subgenres, the zombie movie has endured for many years, simply because of the creative way in which writers and filmmakers can make their twist on the theme. Audiences love seeing the undead shuffling through various landscapes we haven’t seen them occupy before. They love seeing zombie movies that develop the concept to a more real-world scenario such as an out-of-hand contagion or a weaponized agent. And many viewers switch on so they can get their fill of gore and terror alike.

Many of these types of movies will focus on a small band of survivors looking to rebuild their lives whilst trying to take out as many of the undead hordes as they can. The mere mention of zombies almost immediately indicates some form of pending apocalypse and we’re taken on their journey to discover who will live and who will die.

That hope for survival is diminished as each member of the group gets picked off one by one. And from the movies featured here in our list, all hope is lost, because everyone dies!

In this follow-up to Danny Boyle’s impressive infection-based 28 Days Later, we see the military arrive to help save the day; brought in to help bring stability and preventative measures to help contain and control the outbreak in a desolate London.

Sadly, these “preventative measures” don’t seem to stretch as far as allowing a janitor to have access to a highly secure room. A room containing an infected victim, who just happens to be the janitor’s wife. Subsequently, all hell breaks loose, again. Despite the military’s best efforts the outbreak spreads quickly amongst the new population and the decision is made to firebomb the entire district, killing everyone.

28 Weeks Later certainly takes a new approach compared to its predecessor, managing to expand the story whilst focusing on characters sitting on both sides of the fence; characters you hope will survive, and usually do. However, this movie makes you doubt that, particularly given the ending audiences had to endure.

Just when you think a small handful of survivors have managed to escape, flying away across the sea heading to France (where it is assumed the infection hasn’t yet reached), we’re given a very brief visual addendum. A horde of infected people are seen running towards the iconic Eiffel Tower in the distance, as it appears the infection has spread across the continent.
