6 Rampant (2018)
Rampant is a period action zombie film directed by Kim Sung-hoon. Mixing period drama with zombies seems like a bold move, however, South Korean filmmakers are no strangers to experimenting with genres and somehow making it work. Set in the 17th Century, Rampant follows the clash between exiled Prince Lee Chung (Hyun Bin) and Joseon Minister of War Kim Ja-joon, while a zombie plague breaks out in the country. The Prince has to lead the remaining few who are capable enough to defeat the monsters.
5 Doomsday Book (2012)
Directed by Kim Jee-woon and Yim Pil-sung, Doomsday Book is a science-fiction anthology film that tells three unique stories. The cast includes big names such as Bong Joon-ho, Ma Dong-seok, and Bae Doona. The themes take a satirical approach to human destruction in the modern high-tech era, as well as genuine human compassion. The first chapter of the anthology, A Brave New World, serves as a political satire about a viral zombie outbreak. A geeky scientist and his sister end up eating toxic beef, which turns the population into flesh-eating zombies. South Korean movies excel at satirical political commentary, so you definitely shouldn't miss out on watching this one.
4 #Alive (2020)
Based on the 2019 script Alone by Matt Naylor, Cho Il-hyung decided to co-adapt the script into his own with the help of Naylor. Starring Yoo Ah-in and Park Shin-hye, #Alive revolves around a video game streamer struggling for survival in his Seoul apartment during a zombie apocalypse. #Alive yet again proves that South Korean zombie movies are superior: the cinematography is amazing, the acts of violence are simply badass, the soundtrack doesn't feel overbearing, and the exploration of isolation serves as an emotional foundation in a story about a zombie-pocalypse. The film was said to revive South Korean cinema in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indeed, what makes it entertaining are the mysteries, characters, mix of ghosts, zombies, body horror, and Eastern exorcism themes.
2 Seoul Station (2016)
Seoul Station is an animated zombie film written and directed by Yeon Sang-ho. Starring Shim Eun-kyung, Ryu Seung-ryong, and Lee Joon in the lead roles, the movie serves as a prequel to Train to Busan , showing how the epidemic started.

1 Train to Busan (2016)
Last but not least, we have arguably the best zombie movie of all time: Train to Busan .

If someone needs inspiration on how to write the perfectly complex characters, watch this film. It shows how apocalypses can yield kindness in some, while simultaneously demonstrating how we can easily become the monsters we fear. It reinforces our sense of sympathy, and makes you question humanity and human relationships.
The 10 Best Korean Zombie Movies of All Time
Craving tales of the undead? We've got just the list for you.
Perhaps most interesting about Korean zombie movies is how the apocalyptic visions offer a dash of social criticism—hitting at the rigidity of class structures, the encroachment of technological advances, or the collapse of society after the random introduction of a viral pathogen. Essentially, these Korean movies aren’t all just made to get easy scares from flesh eating monsters. From Netflix’s newly released # Alive to Peninsula, these zombie movies have a little bit of everything— psychological thrillers , body horror, class allegories, and even a historical drama , all unified under their shared subject matter: the undead.
Train to Busan (2016)
If you're a horror movie aficionado, you've likely heard of the box office and critical hit Train to Busan. The Gong Woo-led movie follows a group of travelers fighting for their lives aboard a zombie-infested high-speed train hurtling to one of the last safe places in the country. The film's powerful class commentary shows the benefit of taking collective action over prioritizing individual survival. Critics pointed out how the movie may be a response to the Sewol ferry disaster of 2014 that left 300 dead, including around 250 teenagers.
Peninsula (2020)
This This to Busan sequel picks up where the seminal film left off. While Peninsula isn’t jam-packed with the social analysis that fans of the first film praised, it does feature the kind of body horror that fans of the genre know and love. This time, the survivors of the zombie apocalypse in the Korean Peninsula are safe and sound in Hong Kong. That is, until Jung-seok (played by Gang Dong) gets caught up in a scheme to recover $20 million back in Seoul. Yeon Sang-ho returns to direct this hybrid zombie-heist thriller, choosing to wander through the eerie CGI post-apocalyptic wasteland that has few human survivors.
#Alive (2020)
The definitive quarantine film that was somehow conceived before the pandemic, Il Cho’s #Alive follows a spacey gamer who is stuck in the house while a zombie apocalypse rages at his doorstep. He’s running out of food, and it’s not like zombies give up on a siege. As the days pass and the situation continues to devolve into the end of times, he makes contact with a neighbor and together they plot their escape.
The Wailing (2016)
When a rural town suffers from a series of inexplicable murders, a country detective investigates the events under the shadow of a mysterious plague. Na Hong-jin directs this police procedural with a keen ability to harness suspicion and dread. Complicating matters is the arrival of a Japanese migrant who possesses malicious supernatural powers, according to the superstitious townspeople.
Seoul Station (2016)
This animated prequel to Train to Busan imagines Seoul's lockdown at the start of the zombie outbreak. The movie follows former sex worker Hye-sun, who is searching for her pimp-slash-boyfriend amidst the chaos. While Train to Busan luxuriates in the spectacle of violence and the social conditions that triggered it, Seoul Station looks closer at the lives who are at the margins and most likely to be cast aside in a cataclysmic event. In fact, one of the first zombies is an old homeless man, yet his affliction is ignored due to his age and social status.
The Odd Family: Zombie on Sale (2019)
Capitalism breeds innovation...and zombies. Directed by Lee Min-jae, Zombie on Sale follows the broke, dysfunctional Park family who are down on their luck. To make money, they manufacture car accidents and live off the cash they extort from the unwitting drivers who think they caused the wreck. Meanwhile, a pharmaceutical company is just reaping the aftermath of a secret drug trial–it looks like the abducted trial “volunteers” have turned into flesh eating monsters, with one test subject escaping the facility and taking shelter at the Park family’s gas station. Once the family discovers that the zombie bite purportedly makes everyone feel younger and healthier, the Parks charge everyone in town for a bite. Cue the unintended consequences.
Doomsday Book (2012)
One apocalyptic story not enough for you? How does three sound? In Doomsday Book , Yim Pil-sung’s sleek anthology film that dives into three different rapture scenarios, the end of the world isn’t the stuff of the Book of Revelations. Instead, it’s a zombie apocalypse, an asteroid strike, and a robot takeover. These scenarios might sound quite terrifying, but the film itself is absurdist and nimble, and indulges in comedy and introspection to critique Korean politics. Even the creation of zombies is handled with a degree of humor: The triggering biological event occurs when a man eats a rotten apple that leads to toxic materials entering the food chain, turning everyone into the living dead.
Rampant (2018)
Hyun Bin of the K-drama Crash Landing on You fame stars in this visually rich historical drama set in the Joseon Dynasty —with a twist. Namely, it features flesh-eating demons. A genre mashup of court intrigue and a zombie thriller make this Kim Sung-hoon directed flick a satisfying watch. Hyun plays a prince in the throes of a political crisis–the current king spends his time kowtowing to the neighboring Qing empire while the war minister plots his own rebellion. Throw in the nocturnal zombies and you have a certified Game of Thrones -style movie in conversation with Korea’s history of geopolitical crises, which tended to favor the powerful while leaving regular people in the dust.
Horror Stories (2012)
A modern day retelling of the Arabian nights, a Korean Scheherazade is kidnapped by a serial killer who can only fall asleep when told scary stories. Four directors helm each part of this anthology film, which runs the gamut from zombie horror to terrorist attacks to nightmarish plastic surgery. As for the zombie story, aptly titled “Ambulance on the Death Zone?” In that segment, a group of survivors race through the zombie-infested streets aboard an ambulance hurtling to nowhere. But there’s a problem: There’s a mysterious scar on the little girl’s wrist. Could it be a zombie bite?
The Guard Post (2008)
Recalling the geopolitical mystery Joint Security Area –one of the masterpieces of contemporary Korean cinema that deals with North-South relations–this slow burn follows a platoon on the Korean Demilitarized Zone that disappears following the outbreak of a virus. Army operatives find dismembered corpses upon their investigation and must piece together exactly what happened to the dead soldiers. Director Kong Su-chang tells the story through a series of flashbacks that grow more unsettling as the film wears on.

Where to watch: Amazon Prime IMDB rating: 7.6
The streets of Seoul see scores of zombie-like transformations while gamer Joon-woo remains holed up in his apartment alone.

Fortunately, he’s got his neighbour Yoo-bin working right alongside him to find resources and ways to be rescued by the military. The film touches upon themes of modern-day comforts and the importance of mental grit in times of distress. You’re bound to be on the edge of your seat with this one.
Where to watch: Netflix IMDB rating: 6.3
All Of Us Are Dead
Perhaps the most talked-about bit of zombie content to come from the Korean peninsula – All Of Us Are Dead follows a bunch of students going through the usual high-school experience until a student returns from the school science lab with an unusual infection. Based on a webtoon titled Now At Our School, the series sees the teenagers fight for survival as they look for escape routes. This involves careful planning, blood-soaked chase sequences, and the constant threat of being turned into a zombie looming over their heads. Besides, with talks of season 2 already underway, there’s plenty more to look forward to with this one.
Where to watch: Netflix IMDB rating: 7.5
Unlike most others on this roundup, this series is set in the near future, where a defective cure for COVID-19 leads to a whole-new virus. Named “Rita,” the infection leads patients to experience extreme rage and bloodlust – much like zombies – for a certain amount of time. In the midst of this occurrence is a newly-constructed high-rise apartment. Placed under quarantine, the residents of said structure struggle to survive, all while harbouring deep mistrust, fear, and apprehension. Promising a rollercoaster of emotions, this Korean drama features stellar acting performances. Best part? It intersperses comedy into all the hair-raising drama – giving the audience some much-needed relief. If that doesn’t spell entertainment, we don’t know what does.
Where to watch: Netflix IMDB rating: 7.9
Zombie Detective
Kang Min-ho wakes up as a zombie with no recollection of how he transformed. As he grapples with amnesia and learns how to walk and talk like humans to blend in, he dons the detective coat to uncover his past. Along the way, he meets Kong Sun-ji, a former current affairs writer who quit her job after an attack on one of her clients. Seamlessly merging comedy with moments of poignancy and mystery – the drama is endearing. The characters, who have a strong moral compass, are a departure from the ones that feature in usual zombie series. This makes for a refreshing switch up from most other options on this list. That said, your mileage may vary.
Where to watch: Netflix IMDB rating: 7.4
This historical drama – an unusual genre for a zombie flick – is reportedly one of Netflix’s first original Korean series. Set in the Joseon period, it looks into the life of the Crown Prince Lee Chang whose father falls ill with a mysterious illness that’s taken hold of his kingdom. While investigating this said disease, he gets caught up in a power struggle with a powerful clan that labels him a traitor and seeks to overthrow him. Spread over two seasons, the plague progresses as time passes, with themes of class conflict, politics, and power dynamics being explored. Expect plenty of plot twists, careful strategizing, and political turmoil. This one’s highly favoured by critics and viewers alike – promising to be an engaging watch.
Where to watch: Netflix IMDB rating: 8.3
The Wailing
If dark thrillers are your idea of a binge-worthy show, this one’s right up your alley. Based in a quaint village – Goksung – in South Korea, The Wailing follows the life of police officer Jong-Goo who investigates a mysterious zombie-like viral infection that’s spread through the community. Believed to be caused by an evil Japanese spirit, the hunt for answers leads to gory clues, an attacking guard dog, and eerie memorabilia of people who’ve succumbed to the virus. At once profound and thrilling, this is one of the best Korean zombie series. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to take your eyes off the screen while watching this one.
Where to watch: Amazon Prime IMDB rating: 7.4
This series follows Hyun – an introverted high school student who lost his family in a horrific accident. Now forced to move to an old apartment building and navigate life – he finds himself in the midst of a zombie-like apocalypse. As he struggles to survive, he finds himself trapped with other residents of the building. Although not strictly a zombie series, the creatures in the show are just as horrifying and eerie. Based on the eponymous webtoon, the drama features stellar acting performances and intriguing character backstories while exploring themes of human desires and societal sensibilities. And although the show often receives mixed reviews, it’s definitely worth the watch if you enjoy all things zombie.

'Train to Busan' (2016)

'Seoul Station' (2016)

RELATED: Exclusive 'Seoul Station' Clip: 'Train to Busan' Prequel Unleashes an Animated Zombie Apocalypse
While Train to Busan revels in the spectacle of violence and the socioeconomic forces that gave rise to it, Seoul Station examines the lives of those on the fringes, most likely to be forgotten in the case of a disaster. It’s an intriguing chapter in Train to Busan’s story that fans should see, and it takes a unique approach to the setup.
'The Wailing' (2016)
The Wailing follows a series of supernatural events after a mysterious man arrives in a tiny fishing hamlet. A viral infection spreads throughout the village, considered to be caused by an evil spirit in the area. And it's up to local police officer Jong-goo ( Do-wan Kwak ) to unravel the case.

Cho Il-hyung 's first feature film flourishes in moments of psychological contemplation and deftly navigates the difficulties of a zombie-horror-romance in the age of smartphones with blood, guts, and selfies sticks. Thanks to a strong, youthful cast and a pretty intriguing premise, the movie is undeniably fascinating.
'The Odd Family: Zombie On Sale' (2019)
The Odd Family: Zombie on Sale , directed by Lee Min-Jae , is one of the best zombie comedies (zom-com) to come out of South Korea, and it adds an unprecedented level of eccentricity to the mix. The Odd Family follows the Park family as their lives are turned upside down when a zombie bites the old patriarch. When the family discovers the zombie was developed due to an illicit pharmaceutical business experiment, the Park family tries to profit from it.
The Odd Family: Zombie on Sale lives up to the title, with the Park being an odd, humorous, and unexpectedly close family. The original idea of monetizing their misfortune is brilliant. When combining action, drama, and romance, fans will receive a film that is both original and engaging.
'Rampant' (2018)
Rampant follows Lee Chung ( Hun Bin ), the Prince of Joseon, who the powerful Qing family kidnaps to appoint him as the next Crown Prince. An invasion of horrific nocturnal zombies threatens to devastate the entire region as Lee Chung spars with Joseon Minister of War, Kim Ja-Joon.
RELATED: The 22 Best Zombie Movies of All Time
Rampant is another idea that aims to breathe new life into a popular genre but has fallen into obscurity. Blending these creatures with the Asian epic action movie style and altering a few rules results in a film packed with adrenaline, stunning visuals, and stock characters in a fascinating plot.
'Kingdom' (2019 - )
This is Netflix's first original Korean series; it has two seasons and was adapted from the webcomic serial The Kingdom of the Gods . In Kingdom , The Crown Prince of Joseon, Lee Chang ( Ju Ji-hoon ), is investigating a mysterious illness devouring his country in this historical horror drama. While defending his realm from the horrible plague, he gets caught in the middle of a political power struggle that threatens to overthrow him.
The series deeply and subtly delves into the question of class conflict and social interests. The action sequences are also masterfully staged and will easily satisfy even the most discerning television watcher. Once you're done with the series, be sure to watch Kingdom: Ashin of the North , a special episode of the series that explores the backstory of the plague.
'Zombie Detectives' (2020)
This Korean drama series follows Kang Min-ho ( Choi Jin-hyuk ), who wakes up with amnesia and realizes he has also transformed into a zombie. He learns to walk and talk like everyone else to blend in and finally assumes the persona of a private detective while working on uncovering his history.
Despite being comic book-esque and eccentric sometimes, Zombie Detective manages to be amusing while also delivering plenty of poignancy, melancholy, and seriousness. The use of comedy was wisely employed to lighten the tone of various passages. If you want to take a break from the ravenous flesh-eating zombies, Zombie Detective is a good choice.
'All of Us Are Dead' (2022 - )
The drama is based on the popular Webtoon Now At Our School and follows a group of high school kids who are stranded at their school due to a zombie virus outbreak. The pupils try everything they can to prevent being turned into zombies and escape from their school.
RELATED: 8 Great Zombie Movies & Shows to Watch on Netflix

The show features a cast of interesting characters, a terrifying bunch of zombies, and an environment that throws the protagonists challenge after challenge.
'Happiness' (2021 - )
This cheery Korean horror series is set in the near future and follows a group of people in an apartment building plagued with zombies during a government quarantine. This was the outcome of a failed treatment medicine that resulted in a pandemic known as the Rita Virus, or "mad person illness" as it is more often known.
The show is well-balanced and feels fresh with frequent surprises and interesting twists happening in the plot. Furthermore, instead of frightening moments, the series focuses on developing social relations with a perfect combination of drama and comedy.
