1 Million Zombies: The Story of Plaga Zombie | Watch Online & Full Details
🎬 Title: 1 Million Zombies: The Story of Plaga Zombie / Un millón de zombies: La historia de Plaga Zombie
Story: In 1997, 17-year-old suburban Buenos Aires filmmakers Pablo Parés and Hernan Sáez pooled $450 to co-write/produce/direct and star in a shot-on-VHS zombie epic of such flesh-ripping, gore-spewing greatness that it instantly drew global cult acclaim and redefined the possibilities of extreme DIY horror. Over the next 20 years, Parés, Sáez and their friends would create two increasingly ambitious – and equally brilliant – viscera-soaked sequels (and several short films) that made them “Argentinian George Romeros who’ve built a small empire of gore flicks”

Editor’s note: Our short take on 1 Million Zombies: The Story of Plaga Zombie (2022): Firmly a Documentary piece, but with a personal touch. Nicanor Loreti keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Performances (especially Pablo Parés, Hernán Sáez, Berta Muñiz) give the story human stakes. The 1h 14m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
