25 Best Zombie Movies Ever Made

3. Dawn Of The Dead (1978)

This masterpiece is a true example of how to follow up an original with enough of the same, but plenty of the new. Many sight Romero’s sequel as the very best zombie movie ever made and for good reason. It is fun and features such variety and has a smorgasbord of ways to deal with the dead, thanks to it being set in a shopping mall - which turns out to be a modern-day fortress of out time.

When there is no more room left in hell, the dead will go shopping. Besides this being an excellent zombie movie, Romero’s Dawn of the Dead is full to the brim with commentary of society and how we as a specials flock to stores for deals and the hot new items - you just have to take a look at a Black Friday sale to see just how spot-on he was.

Zombies are very much the backdrop here as this movie unlike Night of the Living Dead is about rebuilding. Is it possible to coexist with the dead? We if there wasn’t a menacing motorbike gang, maybe. This continuation of Romero’s zombie trilogy is civilizations collapse at its damn near finest.
