Zombie movies are one of those horror genres that instill the most fear in me. This is because of one simple reason. In every zombie movie, it’s either an unknown virus humanity dug up, a failed science experiment, or a strain of virus mutating itself. All of these are indeed possible in real life. As a matter of fact, viruses keep mutating all the time; I am pretty sure I don’t have to remind you of the C-word. So, with that horrible thought in mind, let’s take a look at the 12 best zombie movies you can watch in 2025.
12. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015)

If you have been a part of the Scouts in your schooling days, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse will tickle a different kind of nerve for you. This Zombie Comedy flick revolves around three friends who are the only guys still enrolled as the scouts at their school. However, when their town gets overrun by a zombie apocalypse, they are the last line of defense to contain the zombie infection. This movie is extremely fun to watch and you would not spend more than 5 minutes without having a good laugh. Even though this movie is R-rated I would highly recommend you to watch it if you are just looking for a good funny zombie movie.
11. Shawn of The Dead (2004)

Shawn of the Dead is yet again a Zombie comedy movie revolving around a Zombie outbreak across the world. However, the movie is focused on a deadbeat British guy named Shawn, who works at an electronics store and lives with his best friend. The only good thing about Shawn’s life is his girlfriend who expects him to move forward in his life and grow up. However, when said zombie outbreak sends the whole of Britain down a sinkhole, Shawn embarks on a daring mission to save his girlfriend and her mom. This movie is the most British-stereotypical movie you can probably watch.
10. Valley of the Dead (2020)

The concept of Nazi Zombies is not something very new but no matter how many times it is presented to us, it’s always equally entertaining. Valley of the Dead revolves around the Spanish Civil War when the influence of Nazis had started to come into effect in Spain.
This movie brings forward Jan Lozano, Captain of the Fifth Brigade as the lead protagonist who is forced to team up with his sworn enemies to combat hordes of Zombies created by a freak Nazi experiment. Valley of the Dead is filled with action sequences and some of the best action sequences I have ever seen in a Zombie movie.
9. #Alive (2020)

#Alive is one of the best zombie survival movies I have seen in a while. This movie takes place in Seoul where an unknown virus starts turning people into violent zombies. Oh Joon-Woo is stranded in his apartment alone where his supplies are gradually running out along with the power and all networks. He survives for as long as he can but soon starts to give up on all hope unless he meets Kim Yoo-bin, another survivor with whom he fights to survive this nightmare.
8. Day of the Dead (1985)

Day of the Dead is the zombie movie that became the torchbearer of everything related to the zombies we have today. This movie is a threequel to previously released movies, Night of The Living Dead(1968) and Dawn of The Dead(1978) .
In this movie, we get to see a group of scientists, civilians, and soldiers being stranded in an abandoned missile silo waiting to be rescued by someone. However, tension keeps increasing with each passing day and soon the survivors become a greater threat to each other than the undead outside.
7. Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Created by the well-renowned director, Zack Snyder, Dawn of the Dead is a remake of the original movie released in 1978. Dawn of the Dead shows us a nurse, a policeman, a young married couple, and a salesman who have taken shelter in a mall when a zombie virus breaks out. However, soon zombies break into the mall and they all have to come together to fight for their survival.
6. Overlord (2018)

Do you know what is better than regular zombies? Nazi WW2 Zombies. Overlord takes place on D-Day where a platoon of US Army soldiers is given the task of breaching the enemy lines to take down a radio transmitter in a fortified church.
However, when the soldiers start to proceed toward their objective, they find out that something much more sinister is going on as they have to fight off hordes of Nazi zombies. Overlord is by far the most criminally underrated zombie movie, and you should check it out.
5. Zombieland 1 and Zombieland 2 (2009 & 2019)

If you are a fan of zombie comedy movies, you are missing out on the best zombie comedy ever if you have not watched Zombieland and its sequel. This movie brings us to a world where the Zombie apocalypse has already destroyed most of the world and one guy who goes by the name of Columbus has made himself a set of rules that has kept him alive however, he is forced to go against this rule book when he teams up with a group of people resulting in an epic and fun-filled adventure.

A band of mercenaries takes up a job to fetch $20,000,000 stuck in a truck on the streets of Incheon.

Peninsula takes place in the same universe as Train to Busan and is a sequel to it. Train to Busan shows us how the zombie outbreak began in Korea and follows a father who was taking his daughter to visit her mother.

Netflix’s Frankenstein is one of the best screen adaptations of the 1818 classic novel. Do you think you know the movie’s story? Well, you might be proved wrong. Frankenstein was Guillermo del Toro’s dream project, so he crafted a brilliant story based on the original. Well, the best part of his vision was that he didn’t make the creature seem like a mere horror; instead, he allowed us to see the creature’s human side.
Frankenstein follows Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, who is fascinated with death. So, he creates a creature using the body parts of the corpses. However, after the creature comes to life, Victor becomes frustrated with its appearance and the way it speaks and moves. He abandons him, but the creature, unable to accept rejection, follows Victor to seek answers.

- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 7.5/ 93%
A Knives Out Mystery film never disappoints, and Wake Up Dead Man raised everyone’s expectations from the franchise even more. Unlike the previous instalments, this one comes with a more serious and intriguing plot. On top of everything, Daniel Craig’s Blanc has evolved more than ever and appears as a fully realised detective in Wake Up Dead Man.
The story of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery kicks off with the murder of a religious leader in a small upstate New York church. A troubled priest of the church becomes the prime suspect, but when Blanc enters the picture, he instantly realises there is more beneath the surface that has not yet come to light.

- Cast: Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, Lee Byung-hun
- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 7.5/ 95%
KPop Demon Hunters arrived on Netflix in June 2025 and, within days, garnered a huge fanbase for its stylish animation and top-notch visuals. Instead of just being a parody of KPop, it features behind-the-scenes, idol training, stage personas, and everything in the most subtle way. Above all, we also see the lead protagonists dealing with the supernatural while maintaining their normal lives.
Kpop Demon Hunters follow a girl group, who are Kpop idols during the day and trained demon hunters at night. They have taken on the responsibility of protecting the human world from the demonic threats that emerge from time to time. So, basically, when on stage, they are not only performing for their audience, but they are also creating an energy with their music that weakens the demons, keeping their fans safe.
4. Bring Her Back

- Release Date: May 29, 2025
- Director: Danny Philippou, Michael Philippou
- Cast: Billy Barratt, Sora Wong, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sally Hawkins
- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 7.1/ 89%
Bring Her Back is one of those horror movies that depends on cheap jump scares. Instead, it makes the horror feel personal wth the unsettling setting and the uneasy silences. Besides that, it features a slow-burning story that rewards those who unapologetically stick to it until the very end.
Andy and Piper are placed in the care of a foster mother, Laura, after the death of their father. As the story moves forward, Laura is seen desperate to bring her dead daughter back to life. So, she decides to use blind Piper as a vessel.

- Director: Chava Cartas
- Cast: Luis Alberti, Noe Hernandez, Leonardo Alonso, Luis Curiel, David Leon, Guillermo Nava
- IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 6/ 69%
There are rare movies out there that skip the over-explaining part and put the focus entirely on the central point, and Counterattack is one among those golden gems in existence. It is a Mexican movie that jumps straight into the action and follows a tight script throughout, without feeling rushed at any point. If you enjoy action films, this one is perfectly suitable for you.
The movie follows Captain Armando Guerrero, the lead officer of a Mexican special unit tasked with carrying out a routine operation. However, unknowingly, they cross paths and come in the way of a brutal drug cartel, and become their targets.
