5. Welcome to Zombieland (2009)
Rating - 7.4
The theme of the end of the world with the invasion of zombies and a group of surviving people has been in operation in cinema for several years. How did Zombiland attract the attention of viewers? Firstly, a well-chosen cast, secondly, a wonderful soundtrack, and thirdly, humor (yes, in films about the global “all-around” there can also be good black humor). And there is Bill Murray and his 10 minutes on the screen - it's something amazing. If you want to have a good time, see "Welcome to Zombieland." Only without children.
4.28 days later (2002)
Rating - 7.5
Sometimes an attempt to save nature can result in the death of millions of people.

The virus spreads rapidly and bloodthirsty monsters that once were humans have already filled the neighborhood. Surviving civilians with the military are hiding in an abandoned house. Perhaps they will be able to rectify the situation. A frightening soundtrack adds drama, and the operator’s “shaking” camera, along with speeding up the images during an attack by infected people, can catch horror even on strong psyche people.
3. Last love on Earth (2010)
Rating - 7.6
It is terrible when one of the five feelings bestowed by nature disappears. But what if all five disappear, one after another? This is exactly what happens to the people in the film. The main characters - chef Michael and the epidemiologist Susan - at first do not like each other, but gradually realize that in a world where feelings cease to serve their "owners", you need to stick together and appreciate each day you live. The picture was shot at the maximum
intelligible form, without unnecessary sentiment and therefore what is happening on the screen looks even harder and darker.
