The works where years after the apocalypse.zomb

Can you recommend works (books, movies, TV series, etc.) that depict people emerging from bunkers many years after an apocalypse? These stories should show how a new society with its own rules has formed in the ruins of the old civilization, with much of the former progress lost. Meanwhile, the people emerging from the bunkers have access to advanced technologies compared to this new world.

P. S. I know a lot of people will recommend fallout to me, but I would like something different.

Yall were so helpful about zombie movie suggestions, so now I’m here to ask for Zombie Book suggestions.

I read a lot of zombie books as a kid, but im looking for book suggestions for my wife.

Also, you dont need to suggest World War Z, because that was the book/book on tape that got her interested in the first placez

Need help finding a movie

Hello I remember watching this movie on Amazon prime it starts with a team of bounty hunters chasing someone into the woods. While there looking for him zombies show up and start to kill the team off.

Biggest thing I remember is once the zombies show up they are just restless most of the movie takes place in the woods and there fighting and running the whole movie it was an independent movie and I think had a teen number in the title. Thanks if anyone els has seen this and knows what I’m talking about.

Sad Mockumentary?

Okay, I've been wracking my brain for ages now, trying to recall the name of a zombie film. Someone on the Internet must have seen it, so here goes:

I *believe* it's a documentary style film, following an older man as he succumbs to a zombie virus, and the hospice worker that cares for him. I also think it might have been a British film?

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. I know I saw it around the same time as Fido, so maybe it was released around 2006-2008?

Thanks ahead for any input!

Zombie movie

Hello!

Long time ago, I saw a zombie movie where in the ending was an SOS written on a white thing. Only thing I remember is there a drop a blood falling inside one of the characters eyes.

My friend said it was probably 28 days later but he is not sure either.

Thank you for your time!

Edit: I found it! Thank you!

Any good zombie movie or series recommendation?

I don't want any like basic stuff, I've watched all of them. I'm craving more zombie content but I can't seem to find any that I haven't seen already. Any recommendations?

My Horror Movie Lists

Hi all, I have my own site and within my site I have movie blogs, lots of list blog posts listing the best horror movies for each genre and different streaming platform to.

I do want to promote it but I know its spammy. However I am trying to make the content useful for sub niches. As a horror fan I have lots of sub genre lists for horror movies and so have a subreddit for it where I will keep posting various list posts that I do.

For example I have

  • 10 Best Giallo Horror Movies
  • 14 best animal attacks horrors (coming soon. Already on website but not subreddit)
  • Best clown horror movies (coming soon. Already on website but not subreddit)
  • best horror b-movies (coming soon. Already on website but not subreddit)

I will not post it here but look under the subreddit of my profile (u/Fantastic-Run-2819) to find it and the site where I post the articles. If this reddits moderators allow me to post link to either my subreddit or directly to one of these articles or share themselves please do, if not please find via my user. If the owner of this subreddit wants me to remove this message please just let me know. Im trying to build good Karma by providing value.

28 years later theories

Having re watched both films and explored the canonical associated material I have a few theories and thoughts for discussion.

  1. The virus has evolved to a state where there are carriers as we know them from 28 days and semi immune carriers that play off the 28 weeks theme. I think that is where the tall bearded man comes in. He’s a carrier but largely symptom free with the ability to coerce/control the rage state carriers.

  2. Ralph Fiennes is a Dr who is a carrier of the virus, given his age profile I think he was directly involved in the creation of rage or at least its study in the immediate outbreak. His ability to remain unharmed by the infected allows him to study and find a cure for the virus. I think there’s probably more to it than this as 29 years and no cure doesn’t really fit. I think it’s more likely he’s finding ways to control the virus to make it safe. Most likely, he created a safer strain of the virus in a hope save humanity but fanatics use this to create terror hordes of infected.

  3. It isn’t global apocalypse. Firstly, this theme has been explored in most “zombie” genre films. The trailer suggests the setting is entirely in the UK. There are well dressed NATO forces with modern weapons. Either the movie explores older timelines or we actually find the virus is relatively contained within Europe but the UK has been left to rot with the odd NATO force trying to understand the virus itself.

  4. Fanatic religious terror groups will be a major theme. They are asymptomatic carriers who can control rage infected for their own gain - whatever that is…..

  5. The Jim scene - it’s a fever dream in Jim’s Character arc. It’s a cheap cop out otherwise. What his development is, genuinely fascinating. I imagine he is linked to the mother or he never left the UK.

  6. Jimmy - I think this might be an informal term for the infected. It’s marked on the house and an actual infected. What this is related to, who knows. I can’t see the link between jimmy the child or Jim.

I don't know how to feel about the 28YL trailer.

It definitely looks like it's going to be more of an action movie. The skull towers were fucking stupid. I'll say it. What the fuck are those? I totally get that there'd be a cult around something like that, but jeez man if this shit turns supernatural I'm going to L O S E it.

28 Years Later

In my opinion, I think that 28 days and week is already a perfect franchise but the thing is 28 years might been ruining the franchise since the movie itself said that infected will die by a starvation due to a less population of human. Yes I know that they are involved but for me it doesn't make sense though. What did you think?

Zombie Movie?

Does anyone know of a zombie movie where it's a few years after the apocalypse started and they manage to get all the zombies on an island where they turn them into some sort of rage entertainment, like a rage room, and the machinery used to keep the zombies at bay fails, one of the survivors I believe is an ex-bride who was left at the alter. After they survive and get off the island, it cuts to the end where it shows the zombies washing ashore. I was thinking of zombie movies and it popped into my head

Zombie Wall Defence Game

Im making a cyberpunk esk zombie wall defence game where you have to hold off the zombie horde for as long a possible. Im coming up with some different types of zombies that will effect game play.

Im wondering what types of zombies would you add? And what ability (if any) would you give them?

Some I already have

  • Standard zombies
  • runner zombies
  • screamer zombies (speed up all zombies around them)
  • tank zombies
  • Horde master zombies (spawn zombies around them to protect themselves)
  • launcher zombies (throw zombies towards the wall)

What are the worst places to setup a settlement?

I been watching The Walking Dead and I been noticing some terrible spots to live at.

For an example a city, how on earth would you keep something this big running and defended?

A hospital, just why? It’s too big to defend. Same for a hotel. Too big.

The prison might of worked but part of it was undefended like Rick and his group only defended one side which was stupid, the Governor could have snuck in at night and killed everyone that way.

The only places I say would work are small places like Hilltop, Alexandria, Oceanside, Woodberry, maybe a farm if you have the right defenses in place.
