There’s a lot of horror movies coming out this second half of 2019. Some are getting more hype than others, like It: Chapter 2, Child’s Play and Annabelle Comes Homes. However, the rest of 2019 is also going to see the release of more zombie and monster movies than we’ve seen in a while.
Or am I wrong? Does it just seem like there’s more? Have I not been paying attention? That’s also possible..
Anyway, here’s six zombie movies and creature features that are releasing later this year that caught my eye and inspired this post:
1. Godzilla: King of the Monsters – Release Date: May 31, 2019
Members of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species-thought to be mere myths-rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.
2. The Dead Don’t Die – Release Date: June 14, 2019
The citizens of the sleepy little town of Centerville find themselves under attack by flesh-eating zombies when the dead rise from their graves.
3. 47 Meters Down: Uncaged – Release Date: June 28, 2019
47 Meters Down: Uncaged tells the story of four teens diving in a ruined underwater city, who quickly find themselves in a watery hell as their adventure turns to horror when they learn they are not alone in the submerged caves. As they swim deeper into the claustrophobic labyrinth of caves they enter the territory of the deadliest shark species in the ocean.
4. Crawl – Release Date: July 12, 2019
When a massive hurricane hits her Florida town, young Haley ignores the evacuation orders to search for her missing father, Dave. After finding him gravely injured in their family home, the two of them become trapped by the rapidly encroaching floodwaters. With the storm strengthening, Haley and Dave discover an even greater threat than the rising water level — a relentless attack from a pack of gigantic alligators.
5. Critters Attack! – Release Date: July 23, 2019
Follows 20-year-old Drea, who reluctantly takes a job babysitting for a professor of a college she hopes to attend. Struggling to entertain the professor’s children Trissy and Jake, along with her own little brother Phillip , Drea takes them on a hike, unaware that mysterious alien critters have crash-landed and started devouring every living thing they encounter.
6. Zombieland: Double Tap – Release Date: October 11, 2019
Zombie slayers Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock square off against the newly evolved undead.
No official trailer yet. I’ll update this post with one when I see one.
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
