Why these

If you want Snyder's kinetic action and B-movie creature chaos again, Dawn of the Dead (2004) likely delivers closest—same director, same propulsive momentum, trading the heist structure for a siege that still hinges on tactical teamwork fracturing under pressure. For the heist-within-zombie-apocalypse framework specifically, Zombies of the Third Reich (2025) or Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies (2016) probably scratch that itch, though the former trades Vegas spectacle for fortified infiltration while the latter swaps it for comedic alpine absurdity. If you're after the raw tension of strangers trapped together watching greed clash with undead threat—heist mechanics stripped to survival core—Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) or its 2026 reimagining likely hit harder, just without the kin
