Director:Susanne Bier More polarising than the North Pole using inverted controls while being inside a magnet, Bird Box is a Netflix exclusive that’s been the center of plenty discussion since it hit the streaming service, as well as more than a handful of memes. No two people seem to be able to agree on this one, and while it does have its flaws, ...
Director:Doug Aarniokoski The Day deserves to be talked about not as the best post-apocalyptic movie ever made, or even one of the better ones on this list. No, The Day deserves recognition for being a part of an elite club of movies from WWE Studios that don’t totally suck. While it does often smack of being a low-budget affair, The Day has a grit...
Director(s):Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes Taking a leaf out of the Mad Max book on the post-apocalypse, The Book of Eli offers a world where there is very little good left. If people aren’t killing each other, they’re eating each other — and sometimes even both. Thirty years after a nuclear bomb decimates the planet, Eli, played wonderfully by Denzel...
Director(s):Àlex Pastor, David Pastor Carriers shows pre-fame Chris Pine at his most disturbing as he bands together with fellow survivors to venture across barren America. A highly contagious virus has wiped everyone out, which leads to plenty of suspicion amongst Pine’s group that grows and grows until it’s almost unbearable to watch. Carriers is...
Director(s):Xavier Gens I don’t think director Xavier Gens has a lot of faith in humanity. In his The Divide, an unlikely group of nuclear survivors take shelter in the underground of an apartment complex and it isn’t long before they ruin what little’s left of each other’s lives. As the radiation sets in, the group splits into factions of differin...
Director(s):Yolanda Ramke, Ben Howling Martin Freeman walks away from Fargo for Cargo: an interesting zombie movie that swaps gore and spectacle for a beautifully human story. Coming across like a blend between Maggie and The Dead, Cargo sees Freeman’s character trying to find shelter for his infant daughter in an infected-plagued Australian outbac...
Director:John Carpenter A box office bombthat proved that sometimes people just don’t know a good thing when they see one, John Carpenter’s Escape from L.A. may not be as good as its predecessor, New York, but it’s definitely braver and more bombastic. Kurt Russell returns as Snake Plissken (the character who later go on to inspire Metal Gear Solid...
Director: Thom Eberhardt There are plenty of cult picks on this list, but Night of the Comet might be the very definition of a cult hit — I don’t think it would be right if you watched it on anything other than a VHS tape. The spirit of the eighties runs through its DNA, neon and all. It’s not a cinematic masterpiece by any means, but Night of the ...
Director(s):Anouk Whissell, Francois Simard, Yoann-Karl Whissell Inarguably inspired by Mad Max, Turbo Kid is a more whimsical look at the post-apocalypse, though that isn’t to mean it holds any punches with the gore. Set in an alternate 1997, Turbo Kid follows its titular character as he scavenges wastelands for comic books and stuff he needs to s...
Director:Jim Mickle If nothing else, the uncompromising Stake Land proved to people that vampires are much more effective when they don’t sparkle. Similarly to 30 Days of Night many years earlier, Stake Land showed just how unnerving a more visceral depiction of vampires can be. After the death of his parents, a young boy pairs up with a vampire hu...

Apr 12, 2024 · From some of the most shocking films ever made to bonafide action classics, the post-apocalyptic genre is a surprisingly robust slice of sci-fi that has gifted us with numerous masterpieces.

- Stalker (1979) "Stalker," a 1979 Soviet-era film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, digs deep into one's psyche and commands attention with its stylistic choices, which often include mesmerizing long shots.
- Mad Max: Fury Road. The most recent film in the "Mad Max" saga is George Miller's 2015 film "Mad Max: Fury Road." In this film, Mel Gibson is replaced with Tom Hardy in the legendary road warrior's role of Max Rockatansky.
- Night of the Living Dead. In 1968, the father of the modern zombie, George A. Romero, unleashed "Night of the Living Dead" on the world. For the time, the film was seen as rather explicit in its depiction of flesh-eating undead.

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in search for her homeland with the aid of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshipper and a drifter named Max. Director George Miller Stars Tom Hardy Charlize Theron Nicholas Hoult. 2. Children of Men.
