Zombie Flicks: Kids Take the Lead in 2025

A Fresh Twist on a Classic Genre

In 2025, zombie movies got a fresh twist. Instead of the usual grown-up heroes, young kids stepped up to save the day.

Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later"

Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" kicked things off. It showed a Britain taken over by a scary virus. People lived like they did long ago, before machines and tech. The story followed a boy named Alfie Williams, who grew up in this tough world. Some people saw the movie as a wild take on Brexit, but it was also a cool story about a kid facing big challenges.

Other Standout Films

Other movies also put kids in the spotlight:

• "Beyond the Wasteland" (Vardan Tozija) – A boy named Matej Sivakov had to survive in the woods, hiding from creepy "evil ones."
• "Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse" (Isaac Ezban) – Three brothers hid in a lonely house, avoiding monsters outside while feeding the ones in the basement. These movies showed kids dealing with messed-up family stuff, making them way more intense than anything in "The Walking Dead."

A New Era for Zombie Films

Zombie movies have been around for a while, but in 2025, they got a new life. Kids took charge, and directors took big risks, making for some truly scary and exciting films.
