Movies that feel likeWarm Bodies (2013)

After a zombie becomes involved with the girlfriend of one of his victims, their romance sets in motion a sequence of events that might transform the entire lifeless world.

If you loved Warm Bodies, the closest films we have are Zombieland (2009), World War Z (2013) and Happy Death Day 2U (2019). All three share Warm Bodies' dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Re-Animator (1985).
