Zoombies (2016) is an American science fiction zombie film directed by Glenn R. Miller, featuring all the character development, tight plotting, and quality special effects we've come to expect from The Asylum.Dr. Ellen Rogers has just inherited the Eden Wildlife Zoo, a refuge for endangered animals, from her grandfather. As part of the preparations for its official opening, Ellen is hosting a small group of college-aged zoology students for their internship. However, juggling her responsibilities with the zoo, directing the interns, and caring for her daughter Thea (LaLa Nestor) is further complicated when some of the zoo's monkeys are brought to the veterinary clinic with an unknown disease, which soon spreads to the other monkeys there. The disease turns out to change animals into dangerous, flesh-craving zombies, and after the zombified monkeys take out the entire veterinary staff, they escape out into the zoo at large and start infecting everything else.You can probably guess what happens next...A sequel called Zoombies 2 was released in 2019. Also received a spinoff film, Aquarium of the Dead in 2021. You can probably guess what that one is about.

comment
Noisy Nature: The zombified animals tend to roar and snarl when they see the humans—including a zombie giraffe. note Giraffes do not actually vocalize within the human audible range. In the spin-off, wholly voiceless creatures like sharks and an octopus make crocodilian rumbles.

No Biochemical Barriers: The disease isn't limited to a single species though humans are unaffected, and seems to infect every single animal at the zoo with little difficulty.

Gentle Giant: Kifo, a Cross River gorilla, is quite gentle at the beginning of the first film and Thea's favorite animal at the zoo. Of course, the zombie disease turns him into a Killer Gorilla.

Threatening Shark: Although most are confined to tanks, some zombie makos make it (somehow) out onto a hallway floor, where the characters have to gingerly step over them. Swimming shark zombies become an obstacle in the flooded basement.

Stealth Sequel: Stealth Prequel, rather. The epilogue of Zoombies 2 begins with a phone call to Dr. Ellen Rogers (Kim Nielsen). Who is preparing the opening of The Eden Wildlife Zoo; the start of Zoombies. Making Zoombies 2 a Prequel.
