Best Zombie Movies Landing on Netflix Today

One of the best zombie movies ever made has just landed on Netflix today, and it’s definitely worth checking out, even if you’ve seen your fair share of undead horror over the years.

“Train To Busan” is a South Korean thriller that brings together terrifying zombies, spine-chilling betrayal, and some truly memorable characters. What sets this movie apart is its heart; a quality often missing from other films in the genre.

Released back in 2016, “Train To Busan” remains a standout zombie flick for many reasons. Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, the film follows Gong Yoo as Seok-woo, a father and fund manager who embarks on a train journey with his daughter, Su-an (played by Kim Su-an), to Busan.

The plot unfolds rapidly when a sick woman on the train turns into a zombie, setting off a chain reaction of chaos and terror among the passengers. Throughout the journey, we meet other travelers like Sang-hwa, a blue-collar worker, and his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong; a high-school baseball team; and a conniving businessman named Yon-suk, whose selfish actions lead to disastrous consequences.

As the train hurtles through a world overrun by the undead, the characters must fight for their survival within the enclosed space, leading to intense moments of tension and drama. What makes “Train To Busan” truly shine is the depth of its characters, especially Seok-woo, whose personal journey throughout the film adds layers of emotion and complexity to the overall story.

If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I highly recommend adding it to your weekend watchlist. South Korea has a knack for delivering top-notch zombie content, and “Train To Busan” is a prime example of that.

For fans of zombie-themed entertainment, another must-watch recommendation is “Kingdom” on Netflix. This South Korean series takes place during the 17th century, three years post the Imjin War, and weaves together a gripping tale of zombies and feudal politics reminiscent of “Game of Thrones.”

Set in the Joseon Dynasty, “Kingdom” follows Crown Prince Lee Chang as he navigates a kingdom recovering from war and dealing with a mysterious illness affecting the king. Filled with intense action, a stellar cast, and a riveting plot, this series offers a fresh take on the zombie genre that’s definitely worth exploring.

So, if you’re a fan of zombie movies or TV shows, make sure to give “Train To Busan” and “Kingdom” a watch for a thrilling and immersive viewing experience.
