This plot does not sound like humans with guns kick rotting zombie's arses.

When Hollywood wanted horror stories, it took many sources for their inspiration, including Islamic mythology.
However, some say the original Frankenstein story (not set in America) is a zombie story - that is set in Europe.
I think there may have been a werewolf story movie in London. (Although the parochial Merkins did have to claim it was a tourist of theirs.)

I had never heard of "The Night of the Triffids is a science fiction novel by Simon Clark published in 2001". Link. Apparently the (successful) community in England are "rescued" and taken to Merkinland.
Manhattan, another safe island community, seems like a utopia, but David soon realises it is a dictatorship, run by an old enemy of his father.

Want a copy of the crack where the weapons are dead cheap? I still dig that out and play it from time to time.
