Quite possibly the greatest zombie movie ever made, Zombieland hits on all cylinders. Mixing humor, absurdity, realism, and an all star cast, Zombieland follows Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg, whose simple rules of life are what keep him alive.

A sequel is coming October 18th, 2019, so get caught up now.

Denzel’s character Eli is just a guy in the wasteland trying to survive. Or is he?

The mystery surrounding Eli really drives this movie forward. Like a good Fallout game, we tag along as he deals with raiders, trades with the local shopkeep, and engages in some side quests – all on the way to achieving his mysterious goals.

In Automata, the last remaining humans are struggling to rebuild society. Luckily, there are humanoid robots that do most of the heavy lifting. Robotic slave labor is great, but what happens when the slaves learn how to break their chains? That is what Automata is all about. Ignore Rotten Tomatoes on this one.

The trailer of Bird Box is strange. You can”t look at stuff? It really turned me off at first. That was a MISTAKE – because this movie is very good.

Sandra Bullock plays the role of mother trying desperately to survive an apocalypse. Whatever it is that is killing everyone is a major mystery throughout the plot, and the survivors are left playing a guessing game as to how they might survive. Bullock steals the show, playing a mother who puts the well being of her children above all else.

This movie is nothing like Bird Box. Unless you count being made by Netflix, released in 2019, and being about an apocalypse. But that’s it. That is where the similarities end. Oh, and they’re both excellent and you should watch them.

In The Silence, mankind is knocked down a peg on the food chain when a long dormant predatory species is released from a cave. They are blind and hunt by sound, so if you don’t make a sound, you just might live.

What if all of the remaining population of the entire world were on a train? And what if some of the people on that train started acting like jerks? That is the question that Snowpiercer seeks to answer. Think of it as Speed meets Mad Max. Sound weird? It is. But the critics loved it the 95% Rotten Tomatoes rating is the best score on this list.

What do you get when you place Jason Mamaoa, Keanu Reeves, and Jim Carrey in the wasteland? A damn good movie.

The Bad Batch takes place in a lawless wasteland and boyyyyyy is it dark. Reminiscent of the more cynical PA movies of the 50s and 60s, the anarchy of the wasteland is a dangerous place to be – especially for women.

Don’t let the shaky cam/discovered footage genre scare you away. If you ever liked a Godzilla movie, you should give Cloverfield a try. It documents a monster attack from the perspective of the average person.

Produced by JJ Abrams, Cloverfield is the first in a series of three loosely connected films with the word Cloverfield in them. The Cloverfield Paradox (which is also on Netflix) and 10 Cloverfield Lane.
