When Brad Pitt boarded that plane in World War Z, he was not just dodging zombies, he was redefining blockbuster horror. The 2013 thriller delivered unforgettable set-pieces like the Jerusalem wall crumbling under a screeching undead pile-up, the white-knuckle plane crash sequence, and that nerve-racking moment Pitt’s character injects himself with a pathogen in a last-ditch gamble. Marc Forster’s cinematic chaos somehow felt smart, sleek, and grounded. As its anniversary shuffles closer like a well-dressed corpse, viewers are itching for a rewatch.

The undead thriller is rising from its streaming grave, and Netflix might just be where it bites next.

As fate would have it, World War Z has fled Netflix faster than Brad Pitt sprinting from a terminally aggressive corpse. Though it once ruled the undead with a $540 million global box office reign, it now sulks in streaming limbo, unavailable to the masses. The film’s high-octane set pieces, including the infamous Jerusalem wall breach and mid-air zombie attack, along with Marc Forster's direction and Brad Pitt's brooding charm, helped cement its cult reputation.

For Netflix viewers seeking undead alternatives, the platform offers options such as Army of the Dead, directed by Zack Snyder, which blends casino heists with zombies, and Kingdom, a South Korean period thriller praised for its political intrigue and fast-paced gore. Fans may also enjoy Black Summer for its grittier, grounded apocalypse or All of Us Are Dead, which turns a high school into ground zero for viral chaos. Alternatively, you can simply watch the best zombie movies and series on Netflix.
