Why this pick
A lively high-school zombie comedy with awkward crushes, outsider friendships and escalating undead chaos; it shares Boy Eats Girl’s sweet teen-romance core and gleefully scrappy horror energy.
Why this pick
For the same irreverent undead-romance impulse, this dark comedy follows a newly zombified young man and his best friend through gory, absurd complications with a knowingly scruffy indie tone.
Why this pick
A relationship comedy filtered through zombie horror: it finds tenderness, denial and uncomfortable humour in a boy’s reunion with his returned girlfriend, with more bite but a similarly off-kilter romantic premise.
Why this pick
An earnest teenage boy returns from death hoping to win his crush, making it a close spiritual cousin: sweet first-love anxiety, suburban oddness and deliberately cartoonish zombie comedy.
