Four Zombie Movies To Watch This Weekend

A zombie outbreak usually starts somewhat like this: patient zero contracts a virus, becomes asymptomatic, and starts infecting others.

But what makes for a great zombie film?

• Superb human characterization or by the utilization of the zombies themselves
• A unique setting or a wry narrative
• Great special effects or gore and mayhem
• Frightening suspense or bleak comedy

Whatever you choose, each can make for a classic and enticing zombie film.

Here are our top four favorite zombie movies since 2000 we suggest watching this weekend. The list could easily have been longer, but we wanted to save your eyes from glazing over and turning you into a zombie.
