By far the least known title on this list, it’s clear the people behind 2012’s Dead Weight were inspired by The Walking Dead.  A zombie movie that oddly enough features no zombies, Dead Weight tells the story of a man struggling to reunite with his girlfriend as he ventures across the desolate backcountry of a ruined Midwest.  It’s a story about survival, when desperation turns the living versus the living when there is plenty of dead to worry about.  Dead Weight is low budget, bare bones, and coldly effective as a showcase for the psychological horror of a zombie outbreak. By far the least known title on this list, it’s clear the people behind 2012’s Dead Weight were inspired by The Walking Dead.  A zombie movie that oddly enough features no zombies, Dead Weight tells the story of a man struggling to reunite with his girlfriend as he ventures across the desolate backcountry of a ruined Midwest.  It’s a story about survival, when desperation turns the living versus the living when there is plenty of dead to worry about.  Dead Weight is low budget, bare bones, and coldly effective as a showcase for the psychological horror of a zombie outbreak.
