Help me find this zombies movie. Zombies against soldiers.

Hi, first English isn’t my first language so sorry if I don’t get myself clear.

I don’t remember the name or even the plot of this movie, only two scenes and the protagonist. It’s a zombies movie, between 2018-2022 I think, and I don’t temper if they were sent in search of something or they were returning from somewhere else.

The scenes that I removed were: 1. One of the soldiers (I think it was a woman) kills brutally a zombie making it splash its blood to their face and accidentally infecting themselves, I think the infection it’s a bit slow so it passed some time until they transformed, they’re left I what I think was some kind of abandoned carnival with another soldier that couldn’t leave them alone (it was a couple I think) so they transformed together while the others leave.

The second scene happens earlier before that but it the one I barely remember. They enter like some kind of apartments, opening doors here and there and they see two zombies having intercourse, a man and a girl and I think one of them was chained. It’s stated that they have some kind memory where they remember parts of what they did like #Alive.

The protagonist was an American man with blonde or sandy brown hair, I think he was the leader of them. Please help me find the movie…

Audio dramas

Any good recommendations for zombie audio dramas? Obviously I really enjoyed We’re Alive. And while technically not an audio drama, the audiobook of World War Z is amazing. And while it’s not zombies End of All Hope is decent. But there doesn’t seem to be that many.

Need help finding the name of this old zombie movie please

Saw a movie on streaming(not sure what service) in early 2023. It was a late 70s-early 80s zombie movie set in a small town. Looks like it was shot in a real town since all the interiors and decor seemed veryyyy authentic to the time. One of the mains is a pretty female elementary school teacher who is slowly falling in love with a main guy who just came to the town. One of the main scenes is her going back to school to save her students. She Finds one, then they realize the whole school is full of student zombies, so they run to the bathrooms to hide but they get found and narrowly escape above the stalls when the main comes in and starts shooting. They retreat to an old gas station where another creepy dude tries to take the lady hostage. Main knocks him out with rifle and they start holding off the zombie horde with fire and guns. They have to run to their car and barely get saved by a police squad coming in. Trying to remember the early parts on the movie but im blanking hard. Also i think the main dudes brother gets killed early on at a bed and breakfast they are staying at after hitching into town…and he kinda breaks down. The teachers whole family is killed as well and they have compassion towards each other. There might also be a drunk cop in town trying to figure stuff out and his superiors dont believe him after the towns local doctor(older woman) shows him whats happening to the bodies. The gas station and school had a ton of late 70s posters and logos. The station had like real old oil/ tire metal signs. Also it had the schools football team flag in there…which makes me think it was made by people in this town as a big town effort

Writers/Directors Take A Shot

Who are some writers/directors that you would like to see tackle the undead? One pick for me is Walter Hill (48HRS, The Warriors, Southern Comfort, Trespass, etc)

Zombies in Monster Mash

So, conventional history of zombies always puts Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) as the birth of the classic zombies as we know them, and that prior the term "zombie" was more associated with voodoo mind control type stories. So my question is what "zombies were having fun" in Bobby Picket's song Monster Mash, which came out in 1962, 6 years before the movie? What were listeners thinking of?

Would you risk going into a Hospital?

They'll have more supplies than a Pharmacy but at the cost of way more zombies, especially hidden ones, because of the size of the building

I think I could quickly go in one if I knew the layout and I'd maybe try hotwire an Ambulance and turn the siren on to lure the outside ones to it

Savageland

Just watched this movie on Tubi, called Savageland (no marvel fans, it's not about THAT Savageland), and for a low budget movie it drips with atmosphere and dread. Done in a documentary style, the best way to describe it is "the outside world's reaction to a zombie outbreak": the sole survivor is essentially blamed for 20+ counts of murder.

If you want to see some guy blast his way through the undead, this movie isn't that. But if you want something that lets your imagination run wild with possibilities, then this movie might scratch your itch.

It's on Tubi, and Youtube.

What would you do If you found yourself in an old bunker during a zombie apocalypse?

https://preview.redd.it/ivpbhrsn4izd1.jpg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c8a491af29e73b332911d62e58cb41a9eb8b151

I'm creating a event for steam game called From The Bunker — a survival simulator in the style of game 60 Seconds, but with a zombie theme. I'm curious about how different people would respond to the same critical situation. Imagine: you’re locked inside an abandoned military bunker. Outside are deserted cities and crumbling streets. The bunker is your only shelter, but your food and water supplies are dwindling. On the surface, there's nothing but wastelands, zombies, and marauders who occasionally appear, demanding a ransom to avoid an attack as they roam the ruins. How would you handle such a threat? What would you do? Imagine you only have a few things you brought from home. What steps would you take to survive?

Why don't people use basic items as Armour?

I beanie hat would prevent you being bit o. The head. Only works once because you'll lose the hat. Scarfs are thick enough to protect the neck against bites. PVC piping pm your arm is an effective shield against fingernails and teeth etc.

Found the movie I was looking for months ago!

It's called "Red Spring", and turns out it isn't a zombie film. It's a vampocalypse instead of a Zompocalypse. They seem to not be sure about their vampires: most just come screaming out of the "dark", but some drive and use guns, and one character escaped a human "blood farm." But so far it's fairly well put together, characters seem fairly realistic, and they have rational reasons for what they do.

It's on Tubi, so if you need something to distract you, give it a whirl.

Cna anyone please help me find this movie?

I've been thinking about this one zombie movie that i want to rewatch again. I can't remember the title but i can vaguely remember the movie's plot.

The movie is based on religion. God left the earth to kind of create another one. God then takes all of his followers into heaven and leaves the sinners into some kind of doomsday situation, now with God gone Satan takes over earth and releases a zombie virus that turns people's mind into some kind of zombie.

The people that are infected with this virus turn into Satan's zombies and are urge to kill all people that are left on this earth.

These zombies have their minds fully intact and can think properly like they're humans, these zombies act like humans and blends in with them.

The zombies are impossible to distinguish from regular people, and that's what makes them scary.

Can someone find this movie for me please I'd love to rewatch it again, i just can't really remember the title of it.

[TOMT]Zombie movie where the protagonist realizes he’s hallucinated the outbreak

Hey everyone!

I’m trying to find a zombie movie I watched online around the early to mid-2010s. Here’s what I remember:

  • Plot: The story follows a man navigating the early days of a zombie apocalypse. The zombies were classic slow-moving, undead-looking types (similar to Romero’s zombies). I think he was searching for his family or someone important to him.
  • Twist Ending: At the end, it’s revealed that the protagonist hallucinated the entire zombie outbreak because he hadn’t taken his medication. Instead of killing zombies, he’d been killing innocent people.
  • Creepy Teddy Bear Scene: At one point, he finds a bloody teddy bear, gives it a name, and keeps it on the passenger seat of his car. Later, a female hitchhiker sees the bear, panics, and bolts from the car. She ends up attacked and eaten by “zombies” while he watches in shock. At the end, it’s revealed the “teddy bear” was actually a human severed head.
  • Production Style: It looked like a late 2000s to early 2010s straight-to-DVD horror—cheap but not zero-budget.
  • Language: I watched it with a German dub, and it seemed professionally done, so I think it had some kind of international release.

If anyone remembers this, I’d love your help! Thanks!

Roads Less Traveled series (6 books)

This series by C. Dulaney starts off as a seemingly normal zombie apocalypse in books 1&2 (The Plan and Murphy's Law) and gets progressively more involved and weirder as the story goes on.

I have to say, there are a lot of zombie epics I've read which, to me, feel like retreads on Dawn of the Dead in a lot of ways, or they feel like near-masturbatory prepper fantasies, but this series finds the lines on both of those things and always steers away from that. I particularly like how it starts out in familiar territory and then drifts from that into a slightly stranger land.

You can find the entire series here. If you get into it, be aware that book four rewinds a little bit to back before the zombie apocalypse, as it follows an entirely different set of characters and opens a whole new aspect of the world wherein the adventures happen.
