Feature Films: Hordes of the Undead
Hey bookworms!
While I’m battling my way through the middle of book two in the Bloody Barrens series, I like to watch zombie movies and tv shows for inspiration. I thought I’d share a few of my favorite titles I’ve discovered so far!
The Walking Dead
The body count is high in this series! What intrigued me about this show was the slow crumble of society as they navigated the virus and the “new normal” that they were forced to live in. It also gave my own characters more creativity when it came to fashioning weapons out of whatever they had on hand!
Mad Max Fury Road
While there are no zombies featured in this movie, I did enjoy the dystopian hellscape atmosphere. Only the strong survive in this one and it’s not an easy road! It truly showed that those who are willing to fight dirty will stay alive. (Marlowe would definitely like Furiosa!)
World War Z
The zombies in this movie were so creepy! You won’t find the slow, rambling hordes here. These zombies are on the hunt like wild, hungry animals and they’re FAST. This movie really inspired me to figure out how I could make my zombies in the Bloody Barrens keep you on the edge of your seat.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
While this movie doesn’t have the same time period or tone that I’m looking for in Bloody Barrens, it was still fun to watch! It was campy and cheesy and I enjoyed every second of it. Also, loved the genre-bending creativity of proper Edwardian ladies wielding swords and pistols as they battled the bloody undead.
Resident Evil
No zombie movie discussion is complete without mentioning the Resident Evil franchise! These movies are a cult classic for a reason. They’re chock full of video-game-level action, endless zombies, and a tough heroine who plows through blood, guts, and danger to fight another day!
