DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

Jia Zhangke China

Created one of cinema's most visually stunning zombie outbreak films with Curse of the Golden Flower and particularly excels in large-scale epidemic narratives.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo Spain

Directed 28 Weeks Later, which intensifies the zombie outbreak theme with visceral action and explores how contagion spreads through human fear and desperation.
