Found a new show to me this weekend on Netflix, "Fastest Cars" the show pits a super car against home built sleepers. I was happy to see the electric Datsun 1200 White Zombie on episode 7 i think, The instant torque and weight of his electric car would give just about any super car a run for its money. Well things didn't go as planned leaving the line, about 60' out the Zombie started to spin and took a hard left into a very nice 72 Mazda RX2, both drivers wrre ok, both cars are repairable but what a bummer. Hope to see it back on the streets soon, heck it may be fixed already for all I know.

Yeah its been out for months only Datsun on the show. I thought the way John the owner of the white zombie was a bit heartless toward Abel's RX-2 which was an all original car expect the suspension and engine. Its sad seeing two cars like that both go out, especially after john said he was gonna go easy on launch. This type of thing can happen when your on the track and I get it just felt like John didn't really care much since even before the race started he was trash talking on the mazda.

Friends of Abel were able to get a GoFundMe account to help out since Abel wasn't even going to repair the car since his family came first. its being repaired as of right now but it will never be the same. like the saying goes "its only original once".

You say John was heartless about what happened. The fact is he is emotionally prepared for WHAT can and will most likely happen on the track. Hes been racing for many many years with white zombie. Im sorry to say, the owner of the rx2 should not of been tracking his car if he was that concerned about it getting damaged. Shit happens on the track. Ive seen a few people say john showed no emotion and didnt care. Thats not the fact. People forget this is a tv show, they are going to edit it for the drama as well. I know john feels bad, but at least hes not crying about it. He will fix his car, like he has before and it will be back.

When you track your car, be prepared for a wreck to happen. Cars break loose all the time. Cant handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Also if you pay attention, john asked for the outside left lane, citing that the car could break left if something happened, instead they gave it to the giant diesel. He knows his car and what can happen, yet the show didnt listen.

John was driving like a goddamn idiot and deserved to get his ass beat. He said it himself, he needed to be careful with the throttle, he freaked because Abel holeshotted his car and he knew it was basically over. I feel terrible for Abel, he was going to win that race, no one was catching that rx2. Bottom line, you go up in smoke, you get off the throttle.

So you say. Once it comes loose there's not much that the driver's input does. Rear axle might as well be welded. Once it comes loose and begins to turn it's almost un-recoverable. You weren't in the car. Stop finger pointing. Shit happens.

I am sure they wanted variety for the show, but, they did very little to even the playing field. Racing on a old concrete runway and then doing the finally on a dry lake bed is pretty stupid. And having all of the cars run at once is also pretty dumb.

This is a paid for show, Netflix, and not Bozo Garage Shit Fest on what used to be a good channel, so why all the stupid shit? The guy in the Van almost kills himself and the Datsun 1200 hundred might as well have raced on ice.

Zombie films are nothing new. In fact, they date back as far as the 1930s. Since then, they've since been popularized by the legendary George A. Romero through such classics as Night of the Living Dead, as well as in more recent iterations, like 28 Days Later and the series The Walking Dead. That being said, the zombie genre (or arguably horror subgenre) is still alive and kicking to this day. From action-packed thrill rides to dark turns that leave us pondering, this gory brand of cinema has survived all these years thanks to filmmakers being willing to twist the genre to make it their own.

Netflix continues to offer a variety of critically acclaimed movies based around the undead. From Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead and its spinoffs to zombie films with international flare, here's a closer look at the best offerings currently on the popular streamer.

Updated May 12, 2023: If you're a fan of blood-pumping action (and still have a Netflix subscription), you'll be happy to know that this article has been updated with additional content by Amanda Minchin.

This version of Dawn of the Dead film follows a ragtag group of survivors who take refuge in a mall. Snyder is known for his intense action scenes and use of visual effects, and he did not disappoint here. The crew even resorted to using plastic sheeting during filming as they were constantly in the splash zone.

This new, iconic take on zombies is effortless in all the right ways. Few films outside of Shaun of the Dead had portrayed zombies as funny before this premiered in 2009. This version, however, is all-American to its core, from the amusement parks to the Twinkies.

Valley of the Dead, also known as Malnazidos, is set during the Spanish Civil War in 1938. The story chases two opposing platoons who join forces in order to survive an intense onslaught of the undead following a nefarious Nazi experiment. Now the warring sides must unite to protect the civilians of their country despite their own inner turmoil and hate, all while the zombies leave blood and gore in their terrifying wake. The adrenaline-pumping Spanish picture is an adaptation of Manuel Martn Ferreras' novel Noche de Difuntos del 38, and, needless to say, it's a fun and unique take on the ever-popular zombie genre.

The film had its worldwide premiere at the Sitges Film Festival, where it earned positive reviews for its impressive production design, sharp humor, and sensational action sequences. Valley of the Dead has also been nominated for two of Spain's prestigious Goya Awards.

The Outback serves as the unusually haunting backdrop to a zombie outbreak in this Australian horror film, which takes a restrained, character-driven approach to the apocalypse. Cargo follows Andy (Martin Freeman), who must navigate the dangerous new normal of Australia's zombie-infested interior alongside his wife and infant daughter.

This post-apocalyptic horror drama film from Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke was based on their 2013 short film of the same name. It received positive reviews from critics and was praised by all for its emotional depth and Freeman's performance, though some argue the project is a nod to the 2009 film The Road, starring Viggo Mortensen.

While the rest of the cast is equally star-studded, and the compelling visuals of zombie hordes overtaking whole swaths of land are truly stunning, this film suffers from trying to fit too much into a short time frame. It is, however, a good resource for those wanting to crack open the book. We recommend watching the film for reference first before diving right in.

Robin Aubert directed the critically-acclaimed French-language horror knockout Ravenous, which is also known as Les Affams. The story centers around the inhabitants of a remote, rural town in Quebec as they are plagued by the flesh-craving undead. Their hopes of finding salvation and safety are swiftly dashed when they realize there is no place left to go to escape the vicious horde. Aubert drew inspiration for the look and feel of the film from fellow auteurs Andrei Tarkovsky and Robert Bresson. His version of zombies features the creatures being mindful enough to have a religion in which they are able to assemble altars of worship.

Ravenous debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it nabbed the award for Best Canadian Film. It also went on to receive a whopping five Canadian Screen Awards. Variety praised the gripping flick in a glowing review, writing, "Robin Aubert's idiosyncratic and nuanced drama breathes fresh life into the zombie apocalypse subgenre."

The recent zombie film out of South Korea revolves around a video game live streamer's struggle for survival as he is forced to stay alone at his Seoul apartment during a zombie apocalypse. As the grisly virus takes hold of the city, the streamer remains locked in his apartment, cut off from the world, but with a dogged will to survive nonetheless.

#Alive, also known as #Saraitda, premiered on Netflix in September 2020. It achieved global first place on the platform just two days later, going on to top the Netflix daily chart in 35 countries. It ultimately became the first Korean film to top the Netflix Movies Worldwide chart.
