"Zom100: Bucket List of the Dead" uses the apocalypse to skewer corporate culture.
Summary:
There are plenty of zombie stories out there, but not many that frame the apocalypse as an opportunity for freedom rather than the end of the world. That's exactly what happens in "Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead," which is based on a manga series of the same name.
Office worker Akira Tendo is used to a monotonous life of being overworked. But when the zombie apocalypse hits, he's determined to finally live life to the fullest, and puts together a bucket list of things he wants to do before he dies.
Why you'll like it:
While "Zom 100" is more of a dark comedy than a thriller, its apocalyptic elements will still appeal to anyone looking for another survival story. Like "Squid Game," "Zom 100" also functions as a social critique — this time, of corporate culture and worker exploitation.
The live-action movie is available on Netflix; the first season of the anime is available on Crunchyroll.
