Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Our Favorite Underrated Zombie Movies

So Remy and I got to discussing the upcoming blockbuster zombie flick World War Z, mainly about how it's going to be one of the biggest duds we'll probably ever witness, but the topic then sparked a debate over some of our favorite lesser-known zombie films. Everyone talks about your Night of the Living dead type classics, and new films like Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead remake created more recent hubbub around the genre, but fantastic zombie movies are still being produced year after year - without anyone really noticing.

Nato – Dead Snow

Recommended Videos

Dead-Snow-2

I mean, it’s a movie about Nazi zombies, how do you not love Dead Snow? Actually, it apparently wasn’t that hard to dislike, as a few reputable horror sites I frequent had harsh words for Tommy Wirkola’s frozen splatter-fest. Despite these reviews I still marched forward towards the bloody battlefield of undead carnage, and I had an absolute blast doing so. I’ll ask again, uhh, Nazi zombies? It also might have helped that I saw this flick during my Call of Duty playing heyday….

While it’s true Wirkola didn’t present anything new concerning the zombie genre, Dead Snow utilizes typical norms to their full potential. The gore is incredibly graphic, painting the pristine white snow with squirts upon squirts of zombie and human blood, adding an incredibly artistic touch. I’m not saying killing people is artistic in real life, but for a horror movie, it adds a level of detail other zombie movies don’t have, which presents material that may not be new, but is definitely unique. Not to mention this is also another horror flick which is tons of fun, following characters who keep quoting American movies while fighting zombies brandishing swastikas, sporting that same eradicating attitude. Cursed gold, Snowmobiles with machine guns, self amputations – what the hell is going on?

Ein! Zwei! Die!

Honorable Mentions:
Undead: An Aussie zombie flick with a real cool four-barrel shotgun.
The Horde: French extreme zombie horror at its finest.
Tokyo Zombie: Japanese zombie flick about two slackers who must use jujitsu to save Tokyo from zombies.

OK zombie fans, what did we miss? What are some of your favorite underrated zombie flicks?
