What movie provided the best zombie actors?

Part of producing a zombie movie involves deciding how zombies will react. Are they slow? Are they decomposing? Do they retain aspects of their previous lives? Decisions, decisions.

Of all the zombie movies I've seen, the ones that I thought were the best at pulling off the feeling that they were a threat to contend with, were the zombies from the South Korean version of the movie, "Alive." But then, again, that movie was so well put together.

On a side note, Fear the Walking Dead, the final episodes, began Sunday night. And we're already seeing something that we all should have expected. Spectacular send-offs for some of its more popular actors. Really did not expect that twist. But I do know someone that probably won't make it to the end, for almost the same reason that "the smell the flowers" girl, didn't make it.

I go through the movies quickly, using them as background noise, so I can't stop what I'm doing to read subtitles. But if it's a good movie, I'll watch it a second time, only to listen carefully.

But.....the special effects on this are some of the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been a zombie aficionado for over 5 decades. You won’t want to miss them.

The zombies in that movie were the most believable of any flesh-eating zombies movie I've ever seen, in my humble opinion, although they don't call them zombies in that movie, they call them hungries, same difference.

Is it the one where they had a group of asymptomatic kids under military quarters, and they were testing them for some reason. One of them stood out above the others, and she figured out that she could turn the tables on us normal humans, making the world safe for the kids who had the "virus" or genetic anomaly, and unsafe for us?
