Our rating is opened by the novelty of 2016 - the last part of the franchise with the magnificent Milla Jovovich, so beloved by the audience.

There, the sinister Umbrella Corporation is preparing to deliver the final blow to those who managed to survive in the zombie apocalypse. Alice will have to gather a company of like-minded people and fight not only with ordinary living dead, but also with monsters with a very interesting “design”.

This is a continuation of another film about zombies (in the list of the best, the first part is in 3rd place, with a higher rating than the sequel). The rage virus devastated London, but the military managed to restore order and the city begins to return to a quiet life. Or it just seems ...
6. Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Rating - 7.3
Director Zack Snyder shot this picture based on the plot of an older, but very popular horror movie of the same name. The plot is typical for zombie films: the bloodthirsty dead flooded everything and only a small group of survivors is trying to keep the defense in the building of a large shopping center. In “Dawn of the Dead”, not only zombies are interesting, but the relationship between people who are in a death trap and at the same time have, it would seem, nothing in common except a sense of panic fear.

Rating - 7.4
Is it possible to make a successful romantic comedy about zombies? This film proves that it is possible. Get ready for a strange but funny English humor mixed with tragedy.

4. Welcome to Zombieland
Rating - 7.4
Another story in the style of "few people and many zombies in a limited space." But if in the "Dawn of the Dead" the survivors took refuge in a shopping center, then in Zombieland an amusement park acts as an arena for fighting the walking dead. And there really will be entertainment, true for viewers who like fun dialogues, hellish massacres, and a little Bill Murray.

Good intentions paved the way to Hell. This saying was forgotten by a group of "greens" who released a monkey languishing in a secret science laboratory. The animal was infected with the aggression virus, which is transmitted by bite and spreads through the body in seconds. As a result of the spread of the epidemic, all of England is flooded with very agile and very evil monsters. And only a few surviving townspeople, together with a group of soldiers, are trying to hide from the zombies in an abandoned house.
2. Resident Evil (2002)
Rating - 7.8
The list of the best films about zombie apocalypse has popular paintings. But the "Resident Evil" without exaggeration can be called a cult ribbon. With a budget of $ 35 million, the movie grossed $ 102,441,078 at the box office. And Alice, played by Milla Jovovich, for a long time became the ideal of a strong and independent heroine, who, though not without difficulties, but gracefully and effectively copes with the hordes of the living dead.
The plot focuses on a giant underground laboratory owned by Umbrella Corporation. A virus leak occurs in it, due to which people become carnivorous creatures. A special forces group goes to the laboratory and finds three survivors. One of them is the girl Alice, who does not remember anything about herself. The situation is complicated by the fact that in addition to zombies, special forces are also opposed by artificial intelligence, whose task is not to release the infection outside, into the city under which the laboratory is located.
1. I am a legend (2007)
Rating - 7.8
The hero of the film is Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith), who at night holds the defense against countless zombies and in the afternoon searches for a medicine that can restore the infected person’s appearance and habits. “I am a legend” is not just a horror film, it is an interesting and rather difficult movie, showing amazing landscapes of the world without people and the immense loneliness of one person who communicates only with his dog, and sometimes with mannequins from a music store.
