Movies like Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

“Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (2023) is a Japanese 2020s dark-comedy that reframes a zombie outbreak as an engine of personal liberation. The film stages a clear conflict — a bullied office worker choosing between deadening labor and improvised survival — while favoring neon-soaked, high-contrast-chiaroscuro visuals and brisk editing to keep tonal shifts sharp. The film reframes contemporary burnout as satirical survival, making its cultural observation the point rather than mere spectacle.”
