Curator's Note
The force of zombie cinema comes from the moment order collapses. Cities fail, institutions break down, and survival becomes a test of instinct, trust, and fear. This collection focuses on modern zombie and infection-survival films, from global outbreaks and sealed trains to apartment isolation, wasteland action, dark comedy, and viral-borderline disasters.
