Netflix’s Zombie Movie Section Is The Streamer’s Secret Gem

By Steven Nelson | Updated

Needing a little fright for a Friday night? Or maybe a laugh? Well, there’s a Netflix category for that. The Netflix Zombie Movies secret code category will have you delving into all the brain-eating, cold-bodied, undead you can handle.

And just a reminder that Netflix secret codes are there for more than zombies. There’s Campy Movies, High Brow Horror, Witchcraft, and also Schemers & Scammers.

Let’s take a look at the best zombie movies on Netflix in their secret section.

Doom

Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride into the deep, dark recesses of space with Netflix’s zombie movie Doom. When an elite group of Marines, led by the stoic Sarge (played by none other than Dwayne Johnson), is dispatched to a research facility on Mars, they’re in for way more than just a standard rescue mission.

Mutated creatures, genetic experiments gone awry, and relentless action-packed battles await. Loosely adapted from the iconic video game series, Doom is an adrenaline-pumping, heart-racing sci-fi horror blend that begs the question: what happens when the line between human and monster blurs?

Grab your BFG (Big… Freaking… Gun) and join the fight on Netflix. Space Marine duties await; demon-slaying boots are optional.

Zombieland

Surviving the apocalypse has never been this hilarious! Zombieland is a Netflix zombie movie that takes a bite out of the traditional undead narrative and spits it out with a side of Twinkies and laughter.

When nerdy, rule-obsessed Columbus teams up with gun-toting Tallahassee and a pair of cunning sisters, Wichita and Little Rock, the ragtag team navigates a world overrun by zombies, all while searching for the simple comforts of home (and, of course, that elusive Twinkie).

With Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin leading the charge, Zombieland offers a zesty mix of wit, action, and heart.

So, boot up for this Netflix zombie movie, remember the double tap rule, and prepare for a wild journey where the real challenge isn’t just the zombies – it’s trusting your fellow quirky survivors. Because in Zombieland, the fun is in the journey, not just

Warm Bodies

Ever wondered if there’s life (or love) after undeath? Netflix’s Warm Bodies gives a whole new, heartwarming spin to the term “lovesick.”

When R, a contemplative zombie with a taste for vinyl (and occasionally brains), saves Julie, a living, breathing human, from a horde of his less-discerning undead peers, a unique bond begins to form.

As Julie’s presence ignites a spark in R, it becomes apparent that there might be a cure to the zombie apocalypse after all: love. Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer shine in this genre-blending romantic comedy that’s equal parts sweet and eerie.

So, if you’re in the mood for a tale that’s more about heartbeats than brain-eats, snuggle up with Warm Bodies on Netflix. Love, it turns out, is truly infectious.

Cargo

In a world consumed by a pandemic (sounds eerily familiar, doesn’t it?), Netflix zombie movie Cargo paints a harrowing and heart-wrenching portrait of survival. Set against the bleak backdrop of the Australian outback, Andy, played by the captivating Martin Freeman, is a desperate father on a mission.

With only 48 hours before he succumbs to a terrifying virus and turns into one of the infected, Andy must find a safe haven for his infant daughter. It’s not just a race against time, but a soul-stirring journey of love, sacrifice, and the lengths a parent will go to protect their child.

A fresh take on the zombie genre, Cargo delves deep into human emotion and resilience. So, grab your tissues and prep for an emotional odyssey on Netflix that will haunt your thoughts long after the credits roll. Because in this bleak world, hope is the most precious cargo of all.
