Zombies in Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the EndPrime Video‘s new apocalyptic zombie movie has become a streaming success. Amazon’s streaming service has been consistently producing original movies since 2019, although they take on a variety of genres, they started making horror movies about a year in, including Black Box, The Lie, Nocturne, and Evil Eye. Since then, that roster has expanded significantly to include movies such as Bingo Hell, Black as Night, Madres, The Manor, Master, Goodnight Mommy, Nanny, and perhaps Prime Video’s most popular horror movie, Totally Killer.

On the series side, one of Prime Video’s most popular efforts is the post-apocalyptic drama Fallout, based on the Bethesda video game series of the same name, which has been renewed for a second season. Though some of its content could be categorized as post-apocalyptic, Prime Video has never directly dabbled in the zombie before. However, its first feature-length installment in the genre has recently seen an unexpected surge in popularity and achieved some significant success.

What Apocalypse Z: The Beginning Of The End’s Streaming Success Means For The Movie

It Could Spawn A Trilogy

With Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End becoming a streaming success, the new zombie movie has excelled both critically and commercially. Though the movie doesn’t have enough reviews to qualify for a Rotten Tomatoes score, critics call it a visually impressive and well-acted adaptation that captures the essence of the original novel, although it doesn’t bring anything new to the zombie genre. However, its critical and commercial success should be enough to spawn sequels from Prime Video based on the existing trilogy of novels.
