"All of Us Are Dead" is a bloody good new survival series, and it's bound to leave you
hungry for more.
The show follows a group of teens as their school becomes the epicenter of a vicious
viral outbreak that turns their friends, teachers, and family members into raging zombies.
"All of Us Are Dead" is filled with heart-stopping action, but it's also anchored by meaningful
relationships.
If you have a hankering for more of that style of riveting storytelling after watching "All
of Us Are Dead," here's a look at some films that might just satisfy that craving.
One of the story elements that makes "All of Us Are Dead" so compelling is how modern
the series is.
We watch the calamity happen in real time, with technologies like internet access, social
media, and streaming still playing a role in this world.
The 2020 Korean thriller "#Alive" has a similarly novel atmosphere.
The film follows a gaming-obsessed teen named Oh Joon-woo who unwittingly manages to survive
the beginning of a zombie outbreak by being glued to his computer.
As Joon-woo watches the world around him collapse into chaos, he uses his technological savvy
to try and understand what's happening and fight for survival.
In addition to bringing its zombie plague into the 21st Century, "#Alive" also combines
its intense action sequences with a compelling, human-based story.
That social media aspect is also a major part of the story in the 2021 Filipino thriller
"Izla."
The film follows a pair of brothers who link up with a group of six female vloggers and
set out on a trek to the "Forbidden Island."
Unfortunately for them, there's a reason the island is forbidden – it was the site of
some experiments-gone-wrong that left the island overrun by zombies.
"Izla" mixes plenty of comedic moments into the zombie scares, so if you're looking for
a bit of light-hearted zombie fare after watching "All of Us Are Dead," "Izla" might be just
the ticket.
Another part of "All of Us Are Dead" that resonates is the way certain characters learn
to grow, even in their most desperate hour.
If that aspect of the story really hits home for you, chances are good you're going to
love the entire run of the 2017 horror drama "Cargo."
This Australian pic takes us into an Outback that has been devastated by a viral infection
that turns ordinary people into monsters.
At the center of the story is a man named Andy who, after managing to protect his family
from the initial outbreak by sticking to his houseboat, has to venture out on a harrowing
journey to protect his baby daughter.
"Cargo" is a thought-provoking story of survival and sacrifice, anchored by a captivating performance
from Martin Freeman.
Another hidden gem that's bound to land with fans of "All of Us Are Dead" is the 2017 French-language
film "Ravenous."
The story takes place in a sleepy rural region of Quebec, where the few survivors of the
outbreak spend their days scouring the woods for supplies.
Once they realize that they are in the direct path of the infected, though, they have to
band together and fight for their lives.
With a breed of infected that exhibit unnervingly intelligent behavior, "Ravenous" offers a
delicious new twist to the zombie genre.
Coupled with artful cinematography and some intensely terrifying moments, "Ravenous" is,
like its zombies, much more than it seems on the surface.
One terrifying aspect of "All of Us Are Dead" is just how fast the show's zombies can move,
and how relentless their attacks are.
So if you're in the mood to watch a group of other undead killers who are just as merciless,
2021's "Fear Street" trilogy is definitely up your alley.
The films, which adapt R.L.
Stine's hit novel series of the same name, take place throughout three generations of
terror, as a centuries-old curse routinely turns ordinary folks into mindless slaughterers
every few decades.
At the center of the horrifying action is a group of high school kids who decide to
stand up and stop the cycle of violence once and for all -- before they become the next
victims of it.
With a clever combination of slasher action, fantasy, and horror, there's a little something
for everyone to love in "Fear Street."
While you won't find any zombies in "Rim of the World," fans of "All of Us Are Dead" will
still enjoy the apocalyptic survival story at the center of this 2019 action-adventure
film.
The film follows a group of misfit teens at camp who get a crash course in survival when
an alien invasion threatens the planet with extinction.
"Oh my God, it's Independence Day."
"It's June, Gabriel."
It's up to them to save themselves -- and possibly the world -- even though the situation
outside is very, very bleak.
So if you enjoyed watching teens team up to find a way to make it out of a seemingly impossible
situation in "All of Us Are Dead," "Rim of the World" will give you an all-new destination
to turn to next.
"All of Us Are Dead" fans should also try "Blood Red Sky."
In this German-English horror thriller, a group of hijackers take control of an airplane,
unaware that they're soaring straight into an airborne nightmare.
One of the passengers, a woman named Nadja, is a vampire who's been desperately trying
to control her bloodlust.
Once the terrorists take over the plane and threaten her son's life, Nadja finally lets
her fangs loose.
"Blood Red Sky" is a gritty and compelling bloodbath that will have you rooting for the
monster, with more than one twist to keep you guessing until the end.
Last but not least, the terrifying action that unfolds in "The 8th Night" is a perfect
fit for "All of Us Are Dead" fans.
The 2021 Korean film centers on a two millennia-old myth about a demonic monster that tormented
mankind until the Buddha was able to remove and bury its eyes.
In the present day, though, a professor accidentally awakens one of the eyes, which aims to use
a series of humans as stepping stones for the monster's return to Earth.
To prevent the end of the world, a group of monks have to work with a detective to stop
this blight before it begins.
With all of these great movies, "All of Us Are Dead" fans have plenty of options available
to stream right now.
