Having said all that, there is of course nothing wrong with film fans debating what's best, or championing your own personal favourite a bit. I mean, that's what this regular feature is all about, often enough, right? Therefore, lets invent a non-sensical award on the spot and add a debatable shortlist of nominees. In my 2016 overview, I wrote that I was very surprised to see three great zombie films appear in that year. I mean, the fact that people still can make great films in that tired sub-sub-genre is a miracle in itself, but three films that had people's tongues wagging? That's kinda awesome all on its own!
So the question of the week is: which title should win the "Best Zombie Film of 2016" award?
The nominees are (from left to right in the picture above):
Train to Busan, directed by Yeon Sang-ho, reviewed here.
The Girl With All the Gifts, directed by Colm McCarthy, reviewed here.
I Am a Hero, directed by Sato Shinsuke, reviewed here.
Who should the winner be, and even more important: did I miss any great nominees? Chime in, in the comments below, and HAVE YOUR SAY!!!
