Where To Watch Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse
The 2020 horror film Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse directed by Nick Lyon starring Paul Wesley and Catherine Tyldesley has bounced around streaming platforms since its direct-to-video release. I tried tracking down where it was actually available last month because I needed to screen it for a film studies class, and honestly the situation is messier than most people realize. Right now your options are pretty limited. The film appears on Tubi as a free ad-supported title in the United States. That's the most reliable place I've found. You can also pick it up on Google Play Movies and Apple TV to rent or buy. Amazon Prime Video sometimes has it in their rotating catalog depending on your region, but that's inconsistent. If you're outside the US, check BritBox for the UK version since this had a UK co-production angle with some of the funding. I ran into a problem when I tried watching it on Tubi from my home network. The stream kept buffering at like twelve percent into the movie. Turned out the issue was my router's DNS handling, not the platform itself. I switched to Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS servers and it played fine after that. Just something to keep in mind if you hit a wall with the free tier.
The film runs about eighty-eight minutes and follows a group of survivors navigating a zombie outbreak. It's not exactly high art but it gets the job done for a Saturday night background watch. Paul Wesley brings his vampire diaries energy and it works well enough here. The practical effects on a micro budget are passable, though the third act wraps things up in a pretty abrupt way. If you're looking for alternatives in the same space, there's Wayward Pine through various streaming services if you want something more substantial, or just dig through Shudder's catalog for properly made zombie content. But if you specifically want this one, Tubi is your best bet to start with before jumping through rental hoops.
