"An unexplained phenomenon causes the dead to rise and feed on the living. A disparate group of survivors seeks shelter in an abandoned house. The remake is pretty good too."
"During a zombie outbreak, a group of survivors hole up in a shopping mall. Although the original is iconic, this remake is better; it has superior make-up and is faster paced."
"After a zombie holocaust has devastated civilisation, a group of disgruntled soldiers are left guarding a nutty doctor and the herd of zombies he is experimenting upon. Splendid make-up effects."
"Compared with most zombie flicks this is light relief. A bunch of teenagers are besieged when someone unwittingly releases a poison gas that turns the dead into flesh-hungry zombies."
"Italian-made classic, English language. The plot is hard to follow but it has fantastic set pieces and a great nightmarish atmosphere. Get the uncut version if you can find it."
"Another Italian/English language classic (known as Zombi 2 in the States). A zombie plague infects a tiny Caribbean island and a group of passing tourists end up wishing they’d gone Club Med"
"Modern Spanish “steady cam” movie, remade in English as Quarantine. A newsteam are trapped in an apartment block with some corpses that won’t lie still. Subtitled."
"Italian/English. Folk in a small town start behaving badly. Not much zombie action but it has some very gory scenes (in the uncut version) and a thrilling climax."
