28 Years Later has finally clawed its way into Indian theatres, and early reactions suggest it's everything fans hoped for: grim, gripping and surprisingly emotional. But before you dive back into Danny Boyle’s rage-fuelled apocalypse, it’s worth revisiting the films that built the modern zombie genre from the ground up. From fast-paced Korean thrillers to cult favourites and underrated gems, these are the highest-rated zombie films currently streaming in India. And no, Shaun of the Dead isn’t on the list because it’s not available here right now. We’re just as disappointed. On the plus side, Go Goa Gone still holds up as India’s most bizarre and beloved zombie export.
